These pants were a great find, I bought them on clearance for less than $20 and they are super long.  I have them cuffed under and there is about two more inches of length.  I love the subtle black pinstripe running down them that you can’t see until you come in close.   The one fault I had with these pants when i purchased them was the leg width. They were in between a straight leg and bootcut.  So I took to my sewing machine and just slimmed them a tad bit from just above the knee down.  The final result was a modern and more chic pair of trousers. I decided to try my hand at print mixing by pairing them with my black and white polka dot blouse from forever 21.   My shoes were a real steal I found them at my favorite Ross for only $22. I love the bold black and white and the height of the wedge.  Plus these shoes are uber comfortable.

My mom asked me why I was wearing polka dots with stripes and I proudly proclaimed, “I’m print mixing!”  She just shook her head…lol  I think it looks quite nice because my stripes are subtle.  So what do you all think of my first attempt at “print mixing”?   Would you dare wear polka dots and stripes together?  I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you so much for reading!

I love wearing color and choose to do so most of the time, but every now and then I do like to switch it up a bit.  When I purchased these cropped pants a few days ago I couldn’t wait to wear them.  I immediately knew I would be pairing  them with this sleeveless blouse.  I love how the fit of the blouse camouflaged my current problem area, (tummy) and the monotone look makes me look slimmer.  So we had a winner with this outfit.  You know as always I will continue to scour my local Ross and TJ Maxx for more great finds.
