Updated Thrifted Pants via Goodwill | American Eagle Tank (old, similar here) | Ikea Mesh Bag | H&M Pearl Hair Barrettes | Birkenstock Sandals | Bobbi Brown Sunglasses

These mint pants called out to me the minute I saw them on the rack at Goodwill. They fit me really well and I thought the colour would be awesome for the last few weeks of summer weather. But there was something just off about them. I couldn’t exactly put my finger on it there in the store.

There was no way I was leaving behind a pair of pants that fit me that well, even if something super small was off. It was only once I got them home that I realized it might be the button.

It was a super quick and easy change, and honestly it made all the difference in the world! I couldn’t believe how big of a change a tiny little button made to the look of the pants.

The new and improved, updated thrifted pants are definitely going to be a staple in my workwear wardrobe as I move back into working full time. It’s so important to feel good about yourself in your workwear looks because starting a new job is so nerve-wracking as it is. You might as well feel as confident as you can going in!

I paired my updated thrifted pants with a simple white tank, my comfy Birkstocks and my new knit bag from Ikea of all places!

Plus, I put my own advice to use and wore a hair accessory. A few weeks ago I shared 5 of the best hair accessories to try, and I stand fully behind what I wrote. These pearl pins really make the look that much better!
