Karen Walker: The American Girl, printed pants and other lovely things...


 I'd had my eye on these Karen Walker Perfect Day boat pants for awhile, but thought the printed pants trend wouldn't last too long... but then I saw that she's made a whole heap more for her new collection, The American Girl... and they were on sale... what can I say?
 
So many printed pants! This dress looks great too:

   

Not to mention a BUG PRINT top! (I think you can imagine my excitement):

Printed pants are admittedly a little hard to style, but I think they work best with minimal accessories. 
Here's a few outfits with my Perfect Day pants:

 A pop of colour and a little texture: with Zara cropped sweater


Matched with a neutral white: silk blouse by Sretsis (those flowers turn purple in the sun!)

similar tone in a lighter shade: Sretsis silk blouse... And you have to see the close-up of this (adorable!):

  4. Agreeance with Vulette, so excited about the American Girl prints too. Especially the Tartan crepe de chine boat pants. Wouldn't mind a hat either...

    I have the grey flannel and pegs version of her pants..love them 'nuff said. I was pretty unsure about a print trouser and have ended up making several pairs out of random fabrics....so easy to wear.

    Love your choice of print from the Perfect Day range. I think you and I may be KW's biggest supporters financially :)

  7. I love Karen Walker's prints! I recently purchased a cute pair of KW shorts (my first KW piece!) but they make me look wide as a house :( But I'm determined to find some way of making them work... x Sushi
