$35 Pants 4 Ways

by Shalice Noel

Happy Friday! I’m sharing a couple outfits I shared on my IGTV. I was struck how versatile and cute these tan pants are!

Tan Pants under $35 // Turtleneck on sale! // Leopard Belt // Belt similar // Coatigan // Snakeskin Heels // Sneakers similar // Wrap top in size small // Pearl Sandals sold out // Black turtleneck // Leather jacket and similar under $100 // Black Camisole // Fendi Bag

“I don’t need any more versatile pants in my closet,” said nobody ever. Seriously. We can all use pants that have a thousands uses, and these pants fit the bill! I styled them 4 ways to show you just how versatile they are, and to give you a few ideas to get you started. Life has a way of getting busy. For us, it’s gymnastics, on the way to piano, a little Spanish to make things interesting and tutoring on the side. With all that going on, easy outfits are a must. Plus, there is the extra benefit of that super-low cost-per-wear thing that happens with versatile pieces. You’re welcome.

  1. Chandelier Earrings
  2. Studs under $30!
  3. Hoops
  4. Turquoise Ring
  5. Turquoise Ring

I often get asked where some of my more affordable jewelry is from. I wear everything from investment pieces to under $100 jewelry. More specifically, I get asked often where my turquoise ring is from that I wear on my left hand index finger. It was a gift from my granny. I treasure it as a piece of my heritage and legacy of strong women. Since I started blogging, this ring set me apart and is probably one of my most asked questions, besides, what’s your workout routine. I love a good turquoise ring! See below some of my favorites including a turquoise ring with a similar gold setting, easy hoops and versatile stud earrings under $50. Which are your favorite?

Friday afternoon, Reid and I visited a gorgeous mid-century modern home in the hills with Clé De Peau for an amazing facial. He did his architectural wanderings while I relaxed in bliss–definitely a win-win.

Joanna Czech, the celebrity esthetician, started off by applying Clé De Peau la crème, eye contour creme supreme, and the serum onto my face, neck and decolletage. Initially, I was a little worried about my sensitive skin reacting to the new products, but not only did my skin not react negatively, it actually glowed. So of course, I’m continuing all the products! She also used red and yellow LED lights and a steamer to give me the most relaxed hour and a half that I’ve had in ages.

Here are two useful, and easy, tips for beautiful skin from Joanna:

1. You can use eye cream all over.

2. Don’t forget the neck and chest. When our neck skin ages, it makes you look old. Take care of your neck and chest with quality anti-aging products like la crème and serum. 

I wish I could go back tomorrow, but instead I’ll be in Dallas in April, and hope to pay her a visit. If you’re in the area, you should too! You won’t regret it. In the meantime, you have all the Clè de Peau products at your fingertips at Nordstrom.

Here are the products Joanna used in my facial:

La Crème – the ultimate night creme that helps rejuvenate your skin while you sleep. Did you know that your skin temperature rises when you sleep leading to increased blood flow? Additionally, your skin’s ability to function decreases during sleep and is exposed to oxidation as well. The crème is targeted to react to those factors and help improve skin density and prevent signs of aging. Mais oui!

The Serum – smoothing plumping and great for anti-aging. It has a blend of red brown and green kelp that activate the skin’s regenerative powers and helps promote a smoother looking skin texture. Skin is brighter, softer, and more intensely hydrated after use.

Eye Contour Creme – This eye creme can be used all over the face and visibly re-contours the entire eye area. After use, the eye area appears more plump and youthful. My favorite benefit to this eye creme is the significant decrease in dark circles and bags underneath the eyes. This is especially helpful after long nights up with a teething toddler.

So grateful for a wonderful facial and valuable information about these anti-aging products. I’m excited to see the results! 

These four for anti-aging:

Blouse // Leopard Tee // Boyfriend Jeans // Chloe Bag // Camel Coat similar // Nude Camisole

Red Bag // Boyfriend Jeans // Heels // Camel Coat //

So many of you have asked where these boyfriend jeans are from, how do they fit, etc. First of all,they’re boyfriend jeans from Agolde, and they fit true to size. I ordered a 26 and 27 and ended up returning the 27 since it was too big. Since it is 100% cotton, it will stretch a little bit. I’m wearing them today for a Valentine’s Day picnic with our kids best friends. How grateful I am for good friends! Especially since moving here 4 years ago away from family and dear cousins. Off to pack up the car, kids, baby and yummy snacks.

Here’s a special quote that helps me on my hard days, which is every other day!

“Your children do not need a perfect mom, but a present one”

Here’s to being present with those we love this weekend.

I’ve been wearing Lacoste for as long as I can remember. My dad and I would wear matching Lacoste on the tennis court and now as a busy working mom of 5, I still wear Lacoste crisp white polos with wide leg pants for date night. I love versatile pieces that can take me from tennis to date night. If you’re looking for accessible style that brings casual French luxury to your closet, Lacoste is your brand. I love their solid colors, quality fabrics, and craftsmanship that proves timeless. The solid colors are great to layer with for winter styles and are great stand-alone summer pieces for outdoor activities. Iconic sports brand with a penchant for upgraded chic, Lacoste has been around since 1933. A staggering 2 products are sold every second, can you believe? However, this didn’t happen overnight. I’ve grown up with all the trends that came in and out, and through them all Lacoste always stayed true to who they were. Who are they? A casual luxury brand embodied in French elegance who know how to craft a classic polo and trench. I’ve always been a fan of their style, quality, and dedication to the classics. After all, I’ve been wearing their metallic tennis shoes and polo shirts while playing tennis with dad with the iconic crocodile for YEARS. Today, I’m wearing Lacoste head to toe: track pants, sweatshirt, knit top, and trench coat. I love the flow of the trench and practical comfort of the tee, joggers and sweatshirt. My style secret to making joggers or track pants chicer is this: roll the ankle hem twice and pair it with heels. That’s it. The joggers show off the ankle and heels and instantly transform a sporty look into glam date night. What do you think? Click here to learn more and shop the links below for my exact outfit.

Happy weekend! We are having a couple from our church over for dinner tonight. She helped us tutor the kids last year, so were all excited to see them tonight! Also, I have a facial in a chic west hollywood home with a celebrity ethetician, more on this soon! Can’t wait!

I’m making this for dinner tonight and it is SO good.

Also, lots of questions about my diet and exercise lately, so be sure to check out our couples workout, a workout with a video (with the kids), family workout ideas, and 4 ways to stay healthy this weekend. As for diet ideas, here’s a post on how I’m changing the way our family eats, and finally my Fab 4 smoothie recipe from Kelly’s Body Love book.

I have almost 1,100 blog posts and running out of storage, isn’t that amazing? Thank you for reading my blog and supporting me over the years.

I’ve been posting outfit video’s on IGTV, so be sure to check it out. My last one showed you how to pack for a long weekend 😉
