As much as I would love to buy prints ( hearts in my case ) dedicated to the Hallmark holidays, I refrain from doing so. I just find myself stuck in a sartorial angst. It's hard for me to think of those prints beyond the occasion and have trouble styling it later. But, when I saw these heart print wide-leg pants earlier this month I had to have them, even if it meant leaving them tucked in some part of my closet until next Valentine's.
Outfit details
I was so thrilled about these heart print wide-leg pants. Because one, it was subtle and two, it wasn't red or pink. Had it been in a red or pink color I would have taken a pass. I remember when I wore this jacket back in December, I had someone comment as to how great it would be for Valentines Day. I felt like I committed a sartorial crime by wearing heart print in December.
It breaks my heart how pretty and feminine prints like hearts has been stereotyped to a set time of the year and wearing them beyond it could put you on the chopping block. But, this time when I bought these heart print cropped wide-leg pants and the matching sweater, I decided I would wear them irrespective of the date and occasion more like how I would wear any other print. This is a print and as a girl who loves prints- I better be wearing it more. So, here it is...prints for the month of prints and beyond....
