Last weekend, I hit up the H&M plus section on 34th street in NYC with Cece from The Big Girl Blog. While searching the racks I came across a tropical print dress and leggings. The dress was a little too much for me but I thought the leggings would be something interesting to punch up my classic style of a wardrobe. The tropical print look is a budding hot trend this season. The print is all over dresses, tees, and of course pants and skirts.
Whenever trying something that’s not necessarily my style I always pair it with classic pieces. It’s my fail proof way of making something really work for me and my personal style. Since it was breezy, yesterday, I took the leggings for a spin by rocking a white tee and black one button blazer. To create the look that worked for my style and taste, I pulled out the colors in the pants by utilizing accessories. I chose a suede orange over-sized bag from Fashion to Figure, my turquoise suede platforms sandals from Vince Camuto, and a neon yellow bracelet from Loft.
Next time, I will be wearing these with an over-sized blouse or t-shirt.

Meh…I’m not loving the pants too much. I think they’re a bit too short in length maybe? Or is it that I’m not a big fan of prints on my booty? LOL
Kudos to you! I also dont like wearing leggings as pants b/c I have short legs and they dont flatter me. I think you went the right route by pairing them with classic pieces. You made it work and elevated the legging.
The legging really worked well with the blazer and tee.
