Back during my days working in an office, I always spent a few minutes on Sunday night getting outfits ready for the workweek.  Mostly I would wear dresses, along with a pair of skinny black pants and blouse.  (By “black pants” I really mean jeans.)  Now I know I’m not alone when it comes to pretending a pair of black denim can be worn as work pants!  Adding them to your normal workweek rotation can be pulled off IF they’re the right pair.

The pair I would sneak around are by J Brand — they fit like a glove and are so flattering!  If you’re look for a pair of skinny black jeans, I highly recommend them.  They look so much like regular skinny black pants you *might* be able to get away with wearing them on days that aren’t a Friday.  I would just suggest wearing a long tunic or a high-low top like I’m wearing to cover the back pockets so that it’s less obvious they are jeans.  For work, I would have styled this outfit with my favorite flats or heels but on this day I just wanted to wear my new booties.  Can you tell I’m already obsessed with them?

So I have to ask… do you wear black jeans to the office?  Let me know in the comments and have an amazing week!  XO
