While the boldest of the bold may wear a single print from crown to heel, others can test the trend by adopting a fresh uniform of patterned trousers and solid blouse.

OK, this is just me venting on my number one pet peeve of patterns/prints, but I absolutely HATE when patterns/prints don't match up at the seams. Especially for Polka dots and Plaid. I understand that the inseam of those pants might not match up, but the outer seam should! To me it's a sad loss of quality when details like that are overlooked.
ReplyDeleteKit I'm definitely with you. I purchase quality because I'm interested in details, and although I love these pants, I 'm disappointed that they didn't line up the fabric on the seams :(
