Pants Party

Brick Tamland: "I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party."

Today is all about the printed pants and I couldn't help but think of this classic Anchorman quote!  While Brick's pants party might not exactly be the kind of party you'd like to attend (ha ha), I'm hoping my Pants Party is!   

Prints have definitely been on trend lately and I'm loving it!  Yes, we all need solid color basics, but clothing is meant to be FUN!  To me, there is nothing more fun than crazy patterns and bright colors!

Chris and I attended MayFest earlier this year and as we were browsing the vendors, we came across some printed pants.  I wasn't planning on shopping, but I fell in love!  And before I even pulled my favorite print off of the rack, Chris said, "I've never seen a pair of pants that was more YOU!"  He was right.  I had to have them.  So he bought them for me!  What a hubby ;-)  
The crazy pattern, the neon colors, the easy breezy flow... sooo me!  I love how comfortable wide-leg pants are and we are definitely seeing a shift from skinny jeans and leggings to more free flowing and large!  I also love that these pants are such a statement piece... it really makes outfit planning easy because you can just grab a simple tank and some wedges and you're good to go!

Last weekend I attended one of my best friend's bridal shower.  My schedule didn't allow for a long trip so I ended up driving to Houston in the morning, attending the shower, and driving home again, all in a matter of 12 hours.  It was a really long day but of course I still wanted to look cute!  Thank goodness for the "summer casual" dress code because these pants were perfect!  Super comfortable... no wrinkling in the car... lightweight and loose for the Houston heat... I don't think I could have picked an easier outfit to wear!
Me and the beautiful Bride-to-Be!
Triplets!! {ok actually they're twins and I'm just an honorary "sister"... friends since we were 3 years old!}
These pants were only $20 and trust me, I'm regretting not purchasing every pattern she had!  And how I managed to walk away without getting a shop name or contact info is beyond me... I must have been in a pants trance!  But fear not... although I cannot source these exact pants, I'd challenge you to walk into a store and not find some printed pants right now!  So welcome to my pants party!!  I've rounded up a few of my favorite "guests" and you can shop them below!  Just click the thumbnail links!

Tribal chic dresses

Tribal chic dresses
I took an online shopping chance at this dress... I really wasn't sure how it would fit or how I'd feel about the print, but it was super affordable and worth the risk, I figured.  I love tribal prints and I felt like a sassy dress was the easiest way to add some crazy color to my wardrobe! 
I had a hard time choosing... I'm loving ALL of these prints!  And I'm seriously considering purchasing the same dress in another print before they disappear... it's THAT comfortable!  The fabric is extremely soft and lightweight, and has a little bit of stretch.  I'm also a huge fan of the length!  You don't always find dresses that come past the knee... but this dress hits exactly where I like it to.  Major plus: you can also snag this dress in solid black or blue!

Shop my Tribal Chic dress HERE or click the thumbnails below!  It's on SALE!!

                              
Which print is your favorite?  Or do you prefer the solid color?  How would you style this dress?  Happy Friday fashion loves!!
