Did you know that fashion bloggers get into style ruts too?
Yes, I am 100% guilty of being in a horrid style rut a couple of months ago. I would buy something, come home, and think wow, this looks exactly like another piece I already own. Nope. Noooope. That is a tell tale sign that you need to switch it up. I think I was focusing a little too much on the basics, and not really working on adding some fun, conversation pieces to my closet.
Banana Republic sent over these floral gaucho pants for me to style and boy oh boy, was I pleasantly surprised. I really don’t wear printed pants that often! It’s kind of ironic that my most pinned post ever on Pinterest is a photo of me in a pair of printed pants, but I hardly ever wear printed pants. Time to change that. I love this pair because they’re pretty versatile, and are a smart option for both the office and the weekend.
Thank you, Banana Republic, for the nudge: it’s time to try new things and have fun with fashion this season.
![THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸
After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!
Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
🌸 @langhampasadena — enjoy afternoon tea here & take a stroll through their Japanese Garden for Cherry Blossoms!
My fellow SoCal friends — anywhere else I should check out for spring blooms this year? Let me know! 📸 by @foodphotographer [ad]](https://www.aliciatenise.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
I love these pants! Funky and fun but still classy. I usually don’t like the gaucho trend, but these are too cute!
