Brights from Day to Night with the Ageless Style Link Up
After realizing that I really liked Old Navy’s pixie ankle pants, I went online and ordered 3 more pairs including this bright straight leg pair. I went for patterns, color and shape and it was nice to add a pair that was not skinny pants to my closet. These are both real life outfits which is what I usually share on my blog.
Brights for Day
I went really colorful with this outfit that I wore taking my oldest to the eye doctor at Target. We found this wall on the way back home and I left the car running so we could grab a few photos.
I wouldn’t have thought turquoise and red would work so well but wow, I do like it a lot! I added some more turquoise and color with both the Amazon tee and the feather earrings my mom gave me one Christmas. A graphic tee and flat sandals is an easy way to dress down a nice pair of slacks. The color of these pants really lend themselves to being casual as well as dressy.
My French straw tote always brings happy memories to mind and I like that it adds more color to the outfit. I really should have picked more when we found these at a market: they were only 8 euros. The sandals are old and I hope they will make it another season.
Brights for Night
The hubby and I went on a impromptu date last week in our little town. I decided it was the perfect day to wear my red pixie pants again and to dress them up. It took me a while to come up with a whole outfit though because I wanted a little bum coverage so I tried on 3 tops and about as many sandals.
Most of my tops are casual but this thrifted tunic has been a keeper in my closet for the past 5 or more years. The black and white with a little gold pattern top has always worked well as a date night top. I usually pair it with black or white leggings so this was a new combination for me.
I found these block heel sandals on clearance at Target years ago and the heel is my type of heel: easy to walk in and not too high. I do not own any pumps or stilletos: all of my dressier sandals are some type of wedge. I wore gold accessories to pick up the gold in the top.
I always enjoy the prompts for our link up because it makes me think outside of the box a little. Most of my outfits with these ankle pants will likely be casual so I really enjoyed this outfit.
Don’t forget to stop by the ladies blog to see how they interpreted the theme!

I use to have a pair of ON red pixie pants until I threw them in the dryer and shrunk them. Don’t throw them in the dryer. They do shrink. Anyway, cute! I really love that second top.

Good to know, Amy: I wouldn’t fit in them if they shrunk lol!
Joanne

Real life looks. I like that. Going to use that phrase, too. I truly try to feature outfits I really wear. Sometimes I put something together for the first time for a blog post but then I wear it. Love the Pixie pants on you. I think I have too much caboose to wear them but you look smashing. That graphic tee is adorable and your dressy look is polished but comfortable looking. I am weeding out my stilettos but hate to say goodbye. Need to get more kitten and block heels, too. Sore feet are no fun.

I am the same way. All of the clothes in my closet are clothes that I wear regularly.

It was nice to get a pair of straighter pants.

Cute! I’ve always wanted a pair of red pants, but I’ve never found a fit or specific shade of red that I liked. I should check out ON!!

Yes! The shade of these is bright but really pretty.

These are such fun pants and they look great on you! I love the graphic tee in the first outfit, it’s a nice casual combination, but they dress up well for the evening too! 🙂 Good buy!
Hope you’re having a wonderful day 🙂

I really liked them with the tee. I love that I can think of many things to pair them with. Have a great weekend!

Girl!! I just love both of these outfits!! The red pants with the black and white top is more than perfect!! So much so that I don’t think you could even go back to wearing it with black or white anymore, LOL!!!
I have yet to try Pixie pants?? How can that be?? I should be fired from being a fashion blogger!!

I am so glad I bought those pants but since I got them in a smaller size, I just am going to have to watch my weight lol!
Cammi
Well, now you’ve given me some great ideas of how to style MY red pixie pants!!! I never thought about turquoise, but you’re right, it looks so good!! Love that cute tee by the way!
mimifce
I am finding myself attracted to color and since I have different colored sandals I am experimenting a little. Maybe yellow next time!
Lovely

Hands down, my favorite pants are ON Pixie Pants. I love the fit, the style, the colors, the patterns. They’re just the perfect pant and they look so cute on you with that tee.
mimifce
I took me some years to actually try them but I do like them!
Di
Love both of these colorful outfits! This is such a perfect illustration of how versatile The Pixie pants are. They look great on you, I like the bold red color. I agree, It’s definately worth picking up a few pairs, especially with trousers, when you find a style and fit that works for you!
mimifce
Thanks, Di! I really have enjoyed them and am looking forward to cooler weather to wear them on regular rotation.
Suzanne
THese pants look so great on you and I love how you styled them for day or night! Thanks for linking up with Stylish Monday!

Mireille, these red pants are amazing! I love them on you. Both of these outfits are such beautiful bursts of vibrant color. I love your graphic tee and I agree with it completely! Why do we not do more of the things that make us happy? I also really like the date night styling of these red pants. Black, white, and red is one of my favorite combinations because it is so dramatic and eye catching. Great post!
