5 Ways to Wear Printed Joggers - The Spirited Thrifter

Let’s call a spade a spade. These pants were in the “vacation lounge-wear” section at VV Boutique and they are basically glorified sweatpants.

But, in efforts to be mindful about my thrifting purchases and my wardrobe in general, I’m spending February making sure there are lots of ways I can style my selections. Let’s call a spade a spade: I’m playing dress up like a 5-year-old. Just like with my Anthro sweater, I aimed to style these printed joggers for casual, work-appropriate and fancy outfits… (loosely termed!)

CASUAL

*Chambray $4.20, Frye flats $9.10 and accessories from my collection*

Chambray is the great equalizer of outfits! It dresses fancy pieces down, it dresses casual pieces up. It looks good buttoned, unbuttoned and with or without scarves or necklaces. It was the obvious choice for a casual look with these pants.

Here’s another casual-ish look. Wool grey wool sweater $4.90, Indigo scarf $3.50 and Anthro brand boots, gifted but thrifted.

WORK WEAR

I could probably wear any of these outfits to work, but a blazer definitely puts some professional polish on the pants. — *I could probably wear any of these outfits to work, but a blazer definitely adds some professional polish.*

I would totally wear this to work and feel 100% like an Anthro model/Occupational Therapist. She Does Create blue tassel pendant Anthro top new to my closet (it’s a story, but I earned it!), plus clothing swap bracelet, earrings from my collection and MARC Art of Walking leather flats $19

FANCY

I only planned to try 4 outfits but as it turns out, thanks to my roomie taking the kids out for the evening, I get to have a date with Mr. Style! I asked him which look he liked best and he replied my velvet blazer, which didn’t even make the first cut. But Date Night is worthy of velvet and velvet is fancy. So here’s what I’m actually wearing IRL right now.

Vintage velvet blazer $8, suede boots $11.90...time out with my hubby - PRICELESS — *Vintage velvet blazer $8, suede boots $11.90…time out ALONE with my hubby – PRICELESS*

As with my Anthro sweater, I *could* keep going – in fact, that Anthro sweater would look fab with these Anthro printed joggers – but I have a date to get to!
