Love or Loathe: Print Pants

By -
We've had a few seasons of pants. As much as I still love harem pants, breeches, jodhpurs and other bifricated insanity, I just can't get into print pants. They're hard to style for one (and that's coming from someone who's done more than one post about mixing prints). What mostly holds me back though is that by being pants, you've added two sharp lines in with the print. Too much visual noise. I tried to style away my misgivings below, but at best, they're a limited wardrobe item. (Yet I somehow don't have a problem with print tights or leggings. Please explain me to me.)





Where do you fall on print pants?

I like printed leggings but theyre sometimes difficult to make lots of outfits with, they can be a little unflattering too, but great otherwise! lol xxx

Reminds me of the things my teachers used to wear in elementary school. This is in no way a compliment. I just can't see it working in a chic, attractive way.

The only printed pants I like (and want) is a pair that is wide-legged, floaty/lightweight and long enough to wear heels with. As long as its fitted at the top and not draw string, it won't look pajama-y.

And I would wear it with some solid colored wedge heel and a plain/solid colored t-shirt. And maybe a wide rimmed hat(yeah, I don't care for mixing prints).

I think it's a hard look to pull off without looking like you're wearing pajamas, but I'm not against totally it either. I love all my printed tights, but I don't think the pants trend is one I'll be wearing anytime soon.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
