Have you ever found that perfect something and just felt like life was complete? Well, that was me once I found the perfect skinny ankle pants. Shopping for pants and jeans is definitely trial and error, especially for me since I am quite petite (5’1 even though for the past 8 years I thought I was 5’2). Once I find a brand and style I like, I typically stick with it and rarely consider any others. When it comes to ankle pants I have been loyal to Express and their Columnist Ankle Pant. That is, until I walked in Gap one Saturday. On display were these cute and comfy looking Bi-stretch Skinny Ankle Pants. I decided to take a leap of faith and tried them on. OMG they were amazing…they were perfect…they were mine. As soon as I zipped them up I knew that I had to have them, in every color and print, right then. And shopping with my best friend Kezia was a terrible idea, because she is my shopping yes-man even when I need her to tell me no.

I talked myself into only buying one pair, but after finding a 40% off coupon I ended up buying two! These are your perfect everyday, go-to skinny ankle pants. They are super comfortable, stretchy, hold their shape, hit right at the ankle (some can be too long/short), and they come in a variety of colors and prints. They are perfect for work with a collared shirt and can easily be dressed down with a pair of Chucks and denim jacket. Or for a night on the town, just pair them with your favorite pumps, a fluid cami and a vegan leather moto jacket.
