Trying Trends | Floral Pants

Hey guys! I was recently scouring the clearance racks at Kohl's (you will come to see this is a reoccurring theme in my life). I came upon quite a few pieces that were left over from the summer, and they were crazy marked down. I decided to get this floral print dress. I figured since I live in the perennial summertime state of Florida it'd be acceptable... and because I do what I want (juuust kidding). However, I was on the fence with a floral pair of pants I found. I sent my mom and sister a picture asking if they were "Cool weird or just weird?" The unanimous response? "Just weird."

But like I mentioned before... I do what I want ;)

So now I have these so-called "weird" floral pants that are begging to be worn even though it is currently December, which presents the challenge: How does one transition a trendy article of clothing from one season to another?

LC Lauren Conrad floral print pants: Kohl's, on sale for $12.80 from $60

(but I had a $10 coupon and a 20% off coupon, so I got them for $2.24!)

Another cute cold weather option is to add a hat.

Shout out to my cat, Luna Lovegood (above)! I thought she deserved to be in the blog considering it is named after her.

Try wearing the trendy jeans like this during the spring & summer seasons (or year round if you live in warmer climates!):

Cotton On oversized white top: $10
(It only cost $5 when I was in the store, but it's still an amazing deal.
It's so comfortable, and I wear it all the time.)

Mrkt. navy espadrille wedges: Old, from the DSW clearance section in 2011.
I bought them for around $15!

-Similar styles: Old Navy, $17.97, DSW, $19.94 or DSW, $29.94

I'd also add my favorite sunglasses on a nice day:
H&M gold aviator sunnies, $4.99

Hopefully my mom and sister will now understand why I purchased said pants after viewing this post ;) If not though, at least I could help out any of you guys who love this (hotly contested) printed pants trend that is going on but didn't have a clue as to how to wear them beyond August. Will you be trying out this trend for winter?
