Incorporating Trends: The Printed Pant

A great way to spice up a drab work wardrobe is to add a few trendy pieces.  Each season there are several fads that show up on the runways and in the stores that are extremely cute and fun but end up disappearing after a few seasons. Due to their high chance of extinction, you should never break the bank when purchasing these items. Its better to invest in classic pieces such as collared blouses, versatile black pants and good quality blazers.

One such trend is the printed pant. These prints range from floral themes to geometric shapes to actual animals! I am currently loving this trend but am weary about buying anything too crazy, especially if it is to be worn at the office. Hence, the spotted pants below.  I was drawn to these because they aren't your basic black (instead, navy) and the pattern isn't too wild. When paired with a cream coloured blouse (yes, this was an investment piece for me) and some basic pumps, they are styled perfectly for the office!
