I love a good pair of printed pants. These ones are so comfortable, and I like the black & white floral pattern. I usually wear them with a simple white top or sweater, but this blouse is just what these pants needed to kick it up a notch. I am in love with the fiery red color and silky, forgiving fabric. The rest of the look is kept simple with gold sandals and accessories.

It’s almost the weekend and I couldn’t be happier. I’m going to a birthday party and hanging out with my bestie. What’s everyone else up to?

Polka Dot Pants

These jeans were one of the first pairs of printed denim that I purchased. They are the prettiest shade of  blue with tiny white dots. I love to wear them in the warmer months. The silk blouse is another staple. I’m horrible at keeping white clean, but the reward outweighs the risk.

I’m headed to the Farm & Frills Antique show this weekend with my mom and bestie. I am so excited (see this post from the December show). We are celebrating my best friend’s birthday and going out for dinner afterwards.

For Mother’s Day I’ll be celebrating with my mom and enjoying whatever the day brings. Let’s hope for good food and great weather.

These jeans have become a staple in my closet. I bought them a few years back and continue to reach for them every season. In warmer months, I wear them with a pair of silver flats or sandals, and swap out the sweater for a white blouse with some delicate jewelry.

Thank you everyone for reading Lace & Pearls.  I feel grateful for the support I have received from bloggers, friends, and family.  I really do appreciate every comment and you taking the time to visit this blog.

To those who celebrate Christmas, have a good holiday and enjoy this time of the year with friends and family.

Bows on Bows on Bows

I purchased these Kelly green bow print cords a few years back from J.Crew. This was when printed pants were on the up-and-up and I was hesitant to wear a pattern on my legs. Little did I know that printed pants would become a signature part of my style.  I think this trend has phased out but I still rock it.

It can be intimidating to wear a pattern on your bottom half, but it’s easy to pull off. Wear them with your favorite chambray shirt or blouse; or style it with a cozy sweater or cardigan. Keep the top solid, but make sure it has some texture. Add some accessories for the final touch, like the pictured tortoise shell jewelry.

I have a handful of novelty sweaters (mainly prints) but not enough solids.  I recently purchased this sweater from J.Crew Factory during one of their weekly promotions. The waffle texture makes this sweater interesting.  I might pick up another one in a different color. These pants would also look great with a chambray shirt.

I am loving this weather; so unusually warm for this time of year. And yes, I am wearing sandals, no coat, in October. It feels a little strange this far into the year, but the boots will come out soon enough.
