Runway to Reality: Nina Ricci Spring 2013

I love that pants are so prevalent on runways right now. I always adore skirts and dresses, but pants are important parts of the work wardrobes of almost every woman I know, myself included. So it is wonderful that they are finally starting to get some attention. Lately, stores are moving from only stocking the oversized slacks I've been avoiding since I started working to sleeker, more flattering silhouettes. Of course, my favorite pants are still jeans!

This week I decided to re-create a look that I love from Nina Ricci's Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection because I think it would work great with some awesome work pants, but it could also be translated into a jeans look on the weekend.

I ended up choosing jeans for my version, but I think it would also look great with light colored skinny trousers. These pieces are actually so classic that they would be a breeze to find in one trip to the mall. In my re-creation, everything is affordable, but you probably already have at least a few of the items in your closet, so it would be even cheaper!

Would you wear this feminine pants look? How many of the items do you have already? I think all I'd need would be the bag and pants.
