On my radar.... printed pants.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG: Although the weather in LA is finally getting cold and I still have sweaters, boots and coats to buy, I am already looking at March Deliveries. That means Spring has sprung in the fashion world. Actually, you may have already noticed Resort items popping up in the stores, a waste if you ask me!
When Winter is at it's coldest, raining and snowing in January and February, there wont be a scarf,  mitten or sweater to be found anywhere, in any store......
I haven't got even a close to complete read on Spring yet probably because most designers are holding back a but due to the sluggish spending climate.
With that said, I am thrilled that my Radar is buzzing with a new trend for Spring.......... printed pants. Last June, my Fashion scout partner texted me from Barcelona and said "printed pants everywhere." My immediate reaction was "WHY???" but then I had a change of heart when I saw Dries Van Noten's & Isabel Marant's version strut down the Spring runway. Since then, I have come accross (and even bought) some very wearable and totally stylin' versions. Personally, I think that it looks best styled with heels and boots, a leather jacket or blazer. These should not be confused with lounge or beach wear. From runway to reality, this one works!
