A Stylish Affair : Printed Pants

I've been accused of having expensive taste, not something I deny... (and If I'm being honest the word 'very' may have preceded the word expensive more times than I care to remember). However I believe it's not how much you spend on an outfit but how you put it together.. Investing in one quality piece and wearing it a variety of ways.

A lot of people purchase items A: because they are cheap. or B: because they like the item. However the mistake most people generally make is: they see an item as one piece, instead of visualising it as a complete outfit. The key to shopping and getting the most for your money is to try and imagine each piece you are about to purchase as an outfit.. think of the way it complements other existing pieces you have in your wardrobe. Doing this will usually ensure that you end up with a variety of different looks instead of a wardrobe full of black tee-shirts or white shirts and having nothing to pair them with.

In a nod to all my friends who wish i'd be a little more realistic with price points, I'm going to choose one trend and pair it four different ways and all for under $200.

I'm starting with printed pants- a trend which personally I'm loving at the moment. Sussan, Witchery and Country Road all have some great options currently in store. Usually in a light weight material like Viscose or Ryon, a pair of printed pants will see you right through Spring and the cooler Summer days.

For this post, I've chosen my personal favourite of the picks available in stores, the 'Bandana Print Pant' from Seed Heritage. It has great colourings and would work for both fair and darker skin tones. All looks are under $200.

Enjoy!
