Printed pants... sure you can!

 
 
 
If you are anything like me, you have shied away from anything that draws attention to the biggest part of you. For me, it's my caboose! So without question when the printed pants trend came rolling through I decided to wait on torturing myself in the dressing room. But then I got to thinking and it truly is all about proportions! So since I am bottom heavy, a big, bold print would never do for me. So when I found these tonal, small printed cropped trousers from H&M, I gave them a go!
I have to say I love them and I have been def getting my money's worth out of them- I wear them with everything, but for this outfit I paired them with another of my faves- the classic striped shirt. So yes you can wear printed pants, just find a print that works great for your body type (and bonus I am showing you that you can mix prints too!) I just kept my look in the same color family with shades of blue and then popped it with the orange necklace and bracelet :)

The Betty is back...

Ok so I know you probably feel like I just completely abandoned my blog for a bit, but May has just been the busiest month ever for me!! My sister got married so we had to finish planning out her big day (it turned out great and perfect and she was the most gorg bride ever!)
But needless to say I am back in the swing of things and the blog is back on my major to-do list!
So lets get started with a great outfit for Spring/Summer!
I went to my local J.Crew Factory store and found this super sweet lime green polka dot top. I love it and think it will be equally cute with some skinny jeans! (I also picked up this versatile pendant necklace) Then I hopped over to Kohl's and grabbed this Simply Vera Vera Wang fit-n-flare skirt. It fits great and the high waisted aspect is just a bonus for me! And then for my true weakness... THESE WEDGES! Are they not to die for! And best part... the are only $30 bucks from JCPenny! I am in love with all of the on trend styles wrapped up in this one pair of shoes- the snake print, the ankle straps and the pop of color (what more could you want?!)
So thanks for patiently waiting on me and I promise to not be such a sucky blogger in the future! :)
