The Print Pant

If you remember, a little while back, I did a post about the print dress. Never being one to wear too many solids, I'm still loving how prolific prints are--skirts, dresses, tops. Finding a printed pant takes a bit more effort. I have to attribute my interest in finding a print pant to my friend Patty, always the style watchdog. I find that every time I hang out with her I catch on to some new trend that I feel like would have passed me by had I not spent a little time with her.

I really wanted to wear these pants with a muted print top... but I don't have one, and haven't had the chance to find one. Hopefully that'll be round two for these pants.

I hope you are having a nice weekend (ideally filled with sun, especially since in looking outside my window, one could easily mistake it for a gloomy January day). Despite the weather, I'm enjoying my weekend in SF before I head out to Michigan tomorrow...nothing makes one appreciate home so much as spending weeks at a time on the road.

And a little added bonus, my friend Lisa, who looked very San Francisco casual chic for our Friday night outing.

The Print Dress

I'm completely inspired after a day of closet organizing and shopping for my dear friend Sara. So for the weekend post, I'm going to share some of my favorite printed dresses. First up, here I am in a Dolce Vita dress.

Here are a few out in the market that I'm coveting:

I'm completely in love with this ECI dress ($150). It would be gorgeous with a metallic gold or turquoise skinny belt (or both!). A bright cardigan and a neutral shoe, or a neutral cardigan and a bright shoe (maybe my favorite Sam Edelman) would complete the outfit.
