This afternoon Kai and I headed downtown for lunch, and took these pictures in front of the art museum while we were there. I bought these trousers awhile back but never got around to hemming them. Today after I ran my first ever 5k (yay!) I had a burst of motivation and busted out the needle and thread. Hemming complete!

First off, congrats on the run! I remember my first official run, such an inspiring feeling to finish. Secondly, I LOVE this whole look. The necklace as a headband is genius. And as a working girl, I am glad to see you rocking a work-look. Love it!!!
What a really cute headband! Such a cute idea for using a belt! :]]]

I am loving that repurposed necklace, too! And congratulations on the 5K.
Congrats on the 5k! Love the trousers and your styling.
PS I feel the same way about hemming. . . though it’s lots better now that I own a sewing machine!
LOve how you wore a this toffee colored cardigan with all black. I wear a lot of black too, so I’ll be bearing in mind to wear a toffee cardi over my black work wear.
I love the headband/necklace. Great idea!
I have that headband!!! Except mine is still a necklace. I couldn’t imagine wearing it in your hair! It gets tangled in mine now. Did you put a fabric backing on it or something?
I’ve never had any issues with it getting stuck in my hair, actually I had the opposite issue. It was sliding around on my head all day!
Love that headband/necklace! And the whole outfit is just beautiful!
love these wide leg trousers. i can’t pull them off. i don’t know why. they look so chic on you. plus i am obsessed OBSESSESED with your bag. i think i told you that before. but it is worth repeating.
Congrats on your 5K! that is a great accomplishment! And your trousers are really chic!

You always have the best accessories, don’t know how you manage (I’m the worst). That headband is so interesting and detailed, love the way it makes your hair just glow. Great pants too, it always takes me a while to get around to hemming too
