Sweatpants that don’t look sloppy, people. YES. I’m here for this.
These joggers from Old Navy are super cute, totally cozy, and a steal. I picked them up last week when I realized fall weather was coming but I wasn’t quite ready to pull out the wool just yet. Enter these tuxedo-striped bad boys.
Paired with a beyond versatile black blouse (the Portofino shirt is a blouse you need in your wardrobe arsenal, believe me), a white crepe blazer, and killer statement sandals from Topshop (another Chicago score, bless), I was set for anything ranging from a day at the office to drinks + a date night. Multitasking outfits are the jam.
I wanted to share a few snaps from a really cool event I was lucky to be involved in with Seventeen Magazine. They kicked off their Seventeen U college tour at my alma mater, the University of Kansas, and asked me to come to campus to offer styling advice + showcase a few racks of trendy pieces from Missguided. (There was also a braid bar and skin consult counter from Garnier, a handwriting test, and lots of goodies for those who came through the event space.)
I had a blast! It was a long, hot day (welcome to the Midwest in early September), but I loved meeting so many super cute girls (and even a few dudes who recognized the genius of a 50:1 girl-to-guy ratio). A major thank you to the Seventeen U team and Missguided!
Wishing everyone a happy weekend! I’m gearing up for Kansas City Fashion Week, which starts next Wednesday and runs through the weekend. Must. Start. Outfit. Planning.
Another note: my little ol’ blog got second place in the Best Local Blog category in the annual KC Magazine’s City’s Best awards. Hey, hey, hey! Not bad for a girl with a shoe problem, eh? Thanks to everyone who thought of me while voting!

Nothing like a blazer and heels to dress up a pair of joggers – well done!
Great outfit! Old Navy and Theory is not a combination I thought I would see but it works so well together here. Great mix of high and low!
Love those sandals, super pretty look !

Oh no, now I will have to take a trip to Old Navy:) Love those sandals!
I love this look on you, Ashley! It’s really fun but still totally okay for the office. Joggers are so cozy!
Congrats on the Best in KC award- you totally should’ve gotten first! Your blog is awesome! 😀
Love the look Ashley. Looks like you had a good time at the Seventeen event. I like pairing more expensive pieces with less expensive pieces, and you showed it can be done! The pants are supercute, I love the bottom and how they show off those awesome snake print heels. The jacket looks so smart with it too!

I walked past that blazer at Neiman Marcus earlier this summer and almost bought it! It’s so, so pretty. You look amazing!
Oh my gosh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been looking for a pair of sweats that I can get away with anywhere and these are perfect! Taking fall lounging to a whole new level… Also that event sounds like fun, you look like you are having a blast!

You look gorgeous! And way to go on the blog award- that’s so exciting!
Very well done, I love the chic addition of the blazer which is a nice boyfriend style fit with the looseness of the joggers. My favorite post of today 🙂
Congrats on 2nd place!! So awesome! and those joggers are everything. I love the tuxedo stripe!

THAT necklace and THOSE shoes! Love this look girl! Simply adorable!
OLD NAVY? Damn… gotta check them out. I’m all for this “dressed up” sweatpants trend. I love the tuxedo stripe. Makes them even more chic. They’ll be great in the colder fall weather 🙂
Hi Ashley and thank you for your visit!!! So beautiful outfit! I’m agree with your choices! Kisses from Italy,

Love how you paired this! I would have never known they were “jogger” pants unless you had told me because it looks so chic and effortless! I definitely jumped on this bandwagon too- I bought a pair of trousers from madewell that almost look like sweats, but are made of twill and therefore, passable as work clothes…haha!
Beautiful! Love the blazer!

Have a lovely Friday 🙂
