Since I got over my tomboy days, I’ve never really been a pants person. Shorts, skirts, dresses, yes, yes, yes. Leggings — why yes, I think I wore a pair every day this winter. I’ve been lacking in the pants department so when I saw this pink pair at Zara in Santa Monica, I thought, “Why not?”
It’s getting a little too hot here to really get a feel for them (our meager two weeks of spring have long since passed), but I thought I’d take them for a brief test run. Admittedly, I love how they turned out! Paired with a super lightweight, nude blouse, the color combo is perfect for spring!
I’ll definitely be investing in more when the weather cools down (during our two weeks of fall), but until then, it’s back to shorts, skirts, and dresses for me.

There are two things that I’m a complete sucker for: bright colors and prints. Sometimes, I wish I had more basic items in my wardrobe, because it would be so much easier getting dressed. Then again, where’s the fun in that?
Recently, I’ve decided to embrace the prints and patterns in my closet. After playing around with different combinations, I discovered that mixing prints without looking ridiculous is not as difficult as it seems. Here, I picked the color black to link the two pieces, made sure neither pattern looked overly obnoxious against one another, and chose simple accessories to compliment the entire look.
I don’t like Mondays very much, but mixing prints makes it slightly more tolerable.
P.S. After I published this post, I discovered that my first stab at mixing prints (seen here) was featured on FabSugar’s Look of the Day. This definitely just transformed my Monday from barely tolerable to absolutely amazing!
