Lately, i've been on the hunt for the perfect pair of pants; it has been an exhausting experience. i still haven't found exactly what i've been looking for, but here are a few contenders, at least in terms of shape. I'm looking for something slightly higher-waisted, kind of tapered, and with the option to roll up the bottom to show off the shoes. here are a few i've come across with potential:

I really like these topshop cropped pants...they're also completely in line with the khaki trend. $70 at
topshop.com; not a bad price. they could work.

a pair from
reiss.co.uk - also cute; not entirely sold on these, though. still, cute. cost: $95

a nice pair from
asos.com. i do really like these. still, hard to tell how the fabric will look in person...and returns to the UK suck. still, at $76.49...it may be worth it to test these babies out.

these may win the contest. super simple, super cute jcrew cropped trouser at
jcrew.com. for $118, i may have to think this decision over a little while longer.
