FAVORITE FIND: Cassidy Linen Blend Fit & Flare Pant by The Limited

Trust me on this when I say these are the best pants ever.  I know this because I purchased them last year, and look for every reason to wear them.  Lightweight and airy, they also provide an edge of chic but can be dressed for the most casual of affairs, and tend to go with almost EVERYTHING.  These pants are magic pants in terms of fit - nary a thigh they meet that they don't flatter and most importantly, don't accentuate.

While the full-price tag is a big too steep for a regular shopping trip, rest assured that The Limited will have a sale sooner or later (which we can tell you about!) and the reguar price will be a bargain price in no time.  That will be your time to strike on this wardrobe essential.

FAVORITE FIND: A Long-Sleeved Maxi Dress

Found a gem, and thought I'd share.  Opaque and breathing-room friendly, this long-sleeve maxi requires little to no negotiation.  Bright accessories can easily bring it from fall to summer and vice versa.  And 20 bucks?  Is there much more to think about?
