Favorite Things Friday.
Despite my affection for stylish skirts and, of course, all sorts of Mary Janes, my absolute favorite thing to wear is cropped pants with sneakers. It's effortless, it's comfortable, and it takes me where I need to go - which on the weekend might be a hike or the beach. During the workweek, generally that means I'm ready to roughhouse with any of the seven or so dogs that I share my workspace with - risky business in a skirt!
Yeah, yeah, I know - they're a giant evil megacorporation and all*, but right now Gap has a ton of new pants for fall that I love. And both on their website and in their Pasadena store, these pants are all paired with sneakers - mostly Converse or Vans, two of my absolute favorites.
Of course, none of these are on sale yet, and I have a "never pay full price at Gap" policy. The minute they're marked down, though, it's shopping time!
*They're also a homegrown SF company, and I have a soft spot for this. Besides that, they make pants that fit shorty me so perfectly that I'd probably have to shop there even if they were truly as evil as, say, this guy.

I like your "favorite things friday" idea :) Mind if I use it on my site? I love crop pants as well, and I love gap pants because they're some of the only ones that fit me/are short enough for me. I also hardly ever pay full price at the gap. I haven't been there in a while, but when they used to have sales, they when mark things down like crazy.
Kim, by all means - join in the favorite things! Looking forward to seeing your favorite things in the future :)
You should check out your local Gap right now - there's a massive end-of-season clearance going on, and as you said - marked down like crazy.
