A few weeks back, I spent a few days in Portland, hanging out with Erin. It seems that no matter where we are, no trip is complete without at least a little (though usually a lot of) shopping. I couldn’t resist taking advantage of all the end of season sales (not to mention no sales tax!) and these pants were one of my purchases. There was only one pair left and in my size; I didn’t hesitate in adding another pair of printed pants to my closet. This pair is actually much more subtle than my other printed pants, making them a bit easier to wear. They were perfect for a surprisingly chilly day (by San Francisco standards); since they’re wool, these pants are quite warm despite being cropped. I paired the plaid with preppy layers – a blazer and an oversized chambray shirt. Bold pumps, a patent bag and layered necklaces added a bit of color and a dose of fun to a conservative look.
