Feeling Fresh with NY and Co.!

The saying less is more is a statement that I try to follow through all parts of my life.  Whether it comes to trying to not eat a large pizza alone or attempting to do a smokey eye and it looks like I am part of the Walking Dead zombie cast.

This especially comes more into play in terms of my wardrobe.  I definitely would not classify myself as a minimalist, but I do try to keep a routine of when I purchase a new dress, accessory, or shoe that means that one or more needs to filter out. Not just putting it in a bin and up to the attic it goes more like consigning them, selling on Poshmark, or donating to an amazing cause like Dress for Success.  As we all know life can get in the way sometimes of this what feels like an amazing routine so I have been getting into the mode of purchasing pieces that have a unique touch, but can be paired with more than just one item in my closet.

That is where these black ankle pants from New York and Co. comes into play! What I love about this pant is that it picks up so many colors from the detail in the calf of red, white, blue, green, and pink that it can pair perfect with your basic white tee or dressed up with a red blouse like I have pictured! Even if your wardrobe has more of a neuteral color scheme and you want to turn it up a notch without going too far outside your comfort zone this is perfect for you. So I don’t think I will be taking this pant out of the rotation any time soon! Keep scrolling to check out these other pieces that I spotted online that are classic looks with a bit of unique detail for full versatility.

Print on Print on Print!

When I think back to the days of when my pants had prints on them they consisted of the classic Lisa Frank neon zebra design that at the time we loved. Now seeing the notification on my Facebook that I have been tagged in a picture of a picture have come back to haunt me with my braces and frizzy hair and those memorable pants. Untag, untag, untag, x one million. On the positive side of things the printed pant have made a comeback in a great way and you are now like, “Hey! Tag me in that photo Facebook friend, those pants are fierce!”

Have you been at your favorite store lately and saw those printed pants and paused to want to try on, but then think you can’t pull it off? Rewind to that moment, find your size, and hit up the dressing room. I know the old saying is you should not wear things that draw attention to what you want to hide. Forget those rules!  The most important thing is that if the fit is right, work it girl! If you are easing into this trend my best recommenation is go with a basic top and do a pop of color to complement the statement pant with accessories such as a clutch or earrings.

What color combo is your favorite on a printed pant? Comment below!
