After trying on half my closet, picking up some new pieces to try with things I currently own, and spending hours searching Pinterest for the perfect outfit I could easily replicate, I came up with what I think is a cute, trendy, polished outfit: printed pants mixed with luxe textures and solid coordinating colors.

I'm not quite sure why I have been so hesitant to join the printed pants trend, because I wholeheartedly embrace the colored pants that are everywhere...maybe because I don't think that I'm really a pattern person. The ratio of patterns/prints to solid colors in my wardrobe definitely skews more towards solids. However I think patterned pants are just the thing to add personality and fun to an otherwise plain outfit. I know lots of people are into mixing prints, but I prefer to let the print be the statement piece and have everything else complement it.
How I Wore It:
What do you think? Are you a fan of printed pants?
ETA: I was going to wear a silky blouse with my pants, but I didn't think about the blouse having long sleeves and the jacket having elbow-length sleeves...and that looked super dumb so I switched the blouse out for a top very similar to this one and I loved how it looked...I'll try to have pictures soon!
