After yesterday’s post, you probably aren’t surprised to know that I’ve been living in these Chelsea Cropped pants for the past two weeks, are you? Seriously — and as a petite gal, I’ve been conditioned to think cropped pants, maxi dresses and the like were out of my league. SOL at 5’4″ for life.

Au contraire, as I’ve learned in time. With the right styling, anyone can wear this trend — regardless of height, weight, shape and beyond. Here’s a dose of inspiration to get your creative outfit creation juices flowing:

So, where do you weigh in on these styles? Call them Pedal Pushers if you must, but the truth is: Cropped pants are timeless, ageless, and are easily dressed up or dressed down. For that reason, I’m digging the natural progression of the not-quite-at-your-mid-calf pants trend — especially since it’s nine-to-five-friendly. I mean, really, what better way to show off a killer pair of shoes?
