I been giving printed pants the side-eye for a few months, I’ll be honest.  I think so many of them are so gorgeous, but I do think there’s an age limit on wearing them properly. ( I hate that I just wrote those words.)  For example, these bright floral pants by Zara.  I love them, but they’d look better on my daughter-in-law.  I don’t want to be THAT woman, you know? **coughHousewivesOfBeverlyHillscough**

PRINTED TROUSERS WITH CONTRASTING WAIST – 79.90 USD – ZARA

See?  These pants are amazing with the realistic floral pattern. I would just feel so conspicuous.

So.  What’s and old biddy a gal to do?  THIS.

ARABESQUE PRINT TROUSERS – 79.90 USD – ZARA

Side-view of the Arabesque Trousers

These “Arabesque” toile-ish print, in my go-to black and white?  Yes, indeed.  I will wear a simple top…black or white and maybe some red shoes for just for fun.

Don’t forget ZARA is one of Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge’s favourites.  (See how I spelled that?) Now I shall curtsy and leave you to peruse the ZARA website for your lovely selves.
