Free People Gingham Pants | Ann Taylor Top | Lulu Frost Necklace (love this one on sale!) | Rebecca Minkoff Shoes | Kate Spade Handbag (similar)

A few weeks ago, my mom and I headed to Top of the Park, our favorite rooftop bar in Cincinnati. It’s been one of our go-to spots since it opened a few years ago, but I’ll admit we didn’t make it there too much this year. Between traveling and just being really busy this summer we didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. That’s why we had to take advantage of a warm weekday night before it closes for the season.

I opted for my Free People gingham pants that ended up being a great late summertime purchase. I was a little worried that a checkered pant wouldn’t be the most flattering, but the reviews were glowing. After wearing them endlessly lately, I can attest that they feel like leggings and are very flattering. Plus, they’re high waisted so they suck everything in very nicely, especially when you’re sitting on the rooftop drinking beer!
