Don’t worry, I’m not converting to a pants lover. Two days in a row of pants is a rarity for me, but like I said in my last post, I have come to appreciate them more once I made more of an effort to style them.
Thursday I wore another pair of Editor pants from Express—these are the ones with the normal waistband and belt loops (my other pair is the wide waistband style).
I paired them with a simple light pink dress shirt and a leopard print belt. Gosh I love belts!

How often do you wear pants to work?

You look great! Express Editor pants were all I wore when I worked, I am now a SAHM. They are nice and long for us tall girls! Love your blog!

You always look great no matter what, but you've been killing it lately with these pants outfits! The way you style them is just so classy. You skirt outfits are wonderful too, but I think I almost prefer your outfits with pants. At least for me, I can get styling inspiration more from these outfits with pants since I don't wear skirts or dresses that often. I feel like pants make you look taller, too!
You look great! Love the pants & shirt combos.
Looks great. I wear pants maybe once a week and that's usually my skinnies on Fridays. But now that it's getting warmer I think it might be once a month. Ha. And lucky you for being so tall and having such a long torso. I always feel dump in pants and button up shirts.
Cute! I feel like your photos used to be SO much clearer and crisper than they are now… ironically with your old camera right?
it's my new lens and the lighting…I'm just not able to get them crisp sometimes…have to figure out the settings!
gORGEOUS, i LIKE YOU IN PANTS!
I love you in pants. If you are taking your pictures with the 50mm u will have a hard time getting in focus. Do you shoot in manual our auto?
I would recommend setting the ISO a little lower, and maybe lowering the shutter speed to compensate. I can tell you have the ISO too high because of the "grainy" effect.
Nice outfit too. 🙂
@anon—how do I change it? I'm using it on auto with no flash…
I guess it depends on your camera, but the easiest way would be to set your camera to "P" or Program, which will allow you to set a lower ISO. Shooting at lower ISOs makes less grainy pictures but lessens the exposure, so to compensate your camera will need to take a longer picture (i.e. the shutter speed will decrease). The longer exposure shouldn't matter if you are shooting from a tripod, or other steady surface, which it looks like you do.
To lower your ISO, switch to Program mode by turning the Mode dial on top of your camera to "P". Then hold the ISO button (near the shutter release, also on top of your camera) while you turn the control dial. It should tell you which you have selected either on the screen or in the viewfinder. I'd stay at 400-800 for indoor pictures.
Since your shutter speed is slower, you will need to be extra still while taking the picture or else it will blur.
Hope this helps! Good luck 🙂
Cute! I wear pants nearly everyday but when it gets warmed I tend to wear more skirts to work.
I agree with the comments above, the quality of your pictures lately has not been that great. They used to be clearer before. Love the outfit though!
I wear pants all the time to work, but snazz them up with different accessories, like that belt!
Graet outfit, I adore those heels. They complete the whole look.
Love the look, and there is nothing wrong with pants! I'm wearing them quite often, certainly in the winter.

I really think you look great in pants. The look is very classy. I wear pants all the time in winter and in summer I tend to wear dresses and skirts more.
I love this outfit – The shoes are so pretty. I hope you have a great weekend & Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hi Veronika- great outfit today, need to get myself a leopard print belt! 🙂
I was going to say the SAME thing before I saw all of these comments…your photos are looking worse. 🙁 I can help you with some camera setting tips for your situation if you would like! If I could see the metadata (ie: 1/200, f 3.0, ISO 800), I could let you know which to change to improve them. I can tell from looking at them, more light in the room would give you a clearer photo without changing ANY settings.
The other thing you could do is stop using Blogger to upload your photos. I use Windows Live Writer (came free on my computer) and the quality is better.
Email me anytime and Happy St. Pats! 🙂
Wendy
aww thank you wendy 🙂 yes I will start using live writer more often (i use it for some posts and not others). The hard part is the lighting—should it come from behind the camera or behind me? I can start rolling up my blinds. I also know how to change my ISO now that someone explained it in the comments 🙂
thank you!
Behind the camera (shining on you)! Changing your ISO will improve the grain problem, but it will not give you as much light. If you are shooting on auto, your camera is just trying to figure out the best settings for your situation. So, help your camera out and don't make it struggle to capture light. Provide some by opening blinds! 🙂
I use auto ISO and just adjust my own shutter speed, keeping the f stop at the lowest number (most light).

You look stylish but still comfortable and professional! I wear pants to work almost every day. I find them easier to manage around my office/desk. The only issue I have with them is making sure I have picked the right pair of pants to go with the length of heel of the shoe I have picked. I have long legs which does give me issues with getting my pants the right length but I still love wearing them.
I wear pants all the time. Its easier to manage as I have to move around quite often however I don't really pay attention to the fit since I lost some weight last year and didn't bother with getting new work pants XD
I'm going to start a new office job really soon and the dress code is a lot stricter. I've been building up a new office wardrobe. Your OOTDs have been a great source of inspiration and help! I love your sense of style and the colors you pick for your outfits are so fun! You have convinced me to wear skirts more often and pairing them with beautiful belts =) I love your OOTDs!

Hi Veronika! Love this outfit! I'm a full time student but I'm also employed part time at a local doctor's office and I wear pants almost every day that I work. I love seeing all of your OOTDs but I love the past few ways you've styled the Editor pants. You show that you can still look very put together while in pants and I love it!
<3 Clarissa
V, this outfit is awesome! You look fierce in pants! I wear them most days and usually a skirt only 1 day, but I love skirts! I just don't have many that are great.
I agree with the pic quality, but I only really notice it on your OOTD. I think your other pics of your home and such look great.
I just found your blog and I love your style!! I've spent the past day looking at all your posts 🙂 I LOVE the pant styles you've posted. I'm only 5'2" but still want to try your styles 🙂
