Tropical Palazzo Pants

Lately, I can't get my mind off of tropical prints! From colorful flowers to pineapples to swaying palm trees, I've worn it all this week! I have a sneaking suspicion that my recent obsession with these prints has something to do with me wanting to be on vacation! Luckily, my vacation is rapidly approaching! My new favorite tropical print item is the tropical palazzo pants from Target! They are the perfect pants to start getting me into vacation mode!

What I love about these pants is not only the fun tropical print (the flowers are on top of stripes!) but also the cute paper bag waist. They also fit perfectly (for reference, I'm wearing a size 4), which is something that I often find difficult in regard to pants. All in all, these are comfortable, fun and I look forward to wearing them all summer long!

I'd like to think that the impression you get from these photos is that I am standing in front of my palazzo in Italy but in actuality it's just a back alley near a florist! While it isn't as glamorous as a palazzo, it did indeed turn out to be the perfect location for taking a leisurely stroll in my new pants!

Seaside Seersucker

The "seaside floral" print was one of my favorite prints that J. Crew rolled out this summer. Originally, I wanted the skirt version of this print, but since this peplum top went on sale first, I opted for that. Even though it wasn't my first choice, I'm actually glad that I purchased it because, while I have a million skirts in similar patterns, this top, due to the ties and peplum silhouette, is a little different from other things in my wardrobe. So, while the sale and my wallet dictated my choice, I think it ultimately led me in the right direction!

I paired my new top with these seersucker pants from J. Crew Factory. At first I thought the pants were a little snug, even though I took my usual size 4, but when I tried them on again about a month later they seemed to be just right. (Maybe I lost weight once school ended for the year?) They also have a little stretch to them, which might help make them a perfect fit. As you know, I am a sucker for seersucker, so I think I will be getting a lot more use out of them for the duration of the summer!
