I Like That: Printed Pants

It has taken me 9 months, but I think I finally feel comfortable with the outfit post. Some people take 9 months to grow a child, I grew a blog. Go figure. I've decided it's time to spice things up with a new feature. I'm calling it.... (drum roll please!).... I Like That. 

It's no secret that I like clothes, and I spend a fair amount of time browsing through my options either online or in stores. I'm a rational girl on a budget- so I can't buy everything I want. My shopping model is based on a buy well, save well conundrum, so I try to buy things that really fit in with my style, my existing wardrobe, and my price point. All while saving the big bucks. Makes sense, right?  

So when a new trend comes along, I'm like a kid in a candy shop wanting to get my hands on it. But then this little voice kicks in and says things like- 

do you really need that?  is it worth the money? how many times will you wear it? can you pull off that trend without looking too trendy? shouldn't you be saving that money for something? how many clothes does one girl need? 

It's often an annoying voice. But I try to act wise and listen to it at least 85% of the time. 

Which brings me to the point of I Like That. When I'm looking for a new item, I do a lot of looking, thinking, and placing-in-cart-then-removing. And I want to share some of my favorite clothes crushes with you all, while clearing up my own thoughts on the matter. And I'm starting off with the trend that's been running around in my mind lately- printed pants.
