Crop: Love Culture
Pants: The Elephant Pants
I’d like to consider myself a city girl. Emphasis on I’d like to, because realistically I grew up in the suburbs. But when you live right on the outskirts of a major city, people tend to forgo the town they’re actually in and claim the city instead. Honestly, would you rather say you’re from Marietta or Atlanta? You just sound so much cooler when you say the latter.

All this to say, although it’s not as big and bustling as ATL, Birmingham is a cute place that fulfills my city-girl needs. I’m personally not from here (hence the title) but everyone in my immediate family is, so I’m here quite frequently. I used to hate coming here but now that I’m old enough to actually explore, I have a newfound appreciation for the hipster vibe that is growing in the heart of Alabama. I highly recommend Railroad Park which is in the downtown area of the city. It’s my favorite kind of hang out spot: old and industrial but renovated for a brand new use.
One may ask “Why is she wearing long pants in the south in the middle of the summer?” There’s always a method to my madness. I love these pants so much I have 3 other pairs AND some shorts, and I really don’t plan on stopping. They’re light weight, come in so many different colors and patterns, AND THEY HAVE POCKETS – no one ever cares about the pockets. And I wear them a lot because people lay the compliments heavy and it makes my day every time. But the best thing about these pants over all, is that every time you buy something you’re helping save elephants in the process. Humanitarian and well dressed…truly the best of both worlds.
