all pleated out...

one of the big spring/summer trends for 2012 is pleats...as i had posted on a few weeks back...click here to read the original post...

for fun...i did a little search in the fabulous finds consignment boutique to see what would come up...with almost 900 items...it is hard to keep track...so the search functionality really comes in handy...hint hint...if you are looking for something specific...use the search!

any-hoo...i came up with quite a few lovely items with the current pleat trend...including...this fabulous pair of pleated pants...SO wish they were my size...but alas...they are not...

palazzo pants...

the ultimate party pants...palazzo pants became popular in the 1930's...when they were also known as beach pajamas and worn with a loose top over a swimsuit...they have a comfortable feel that can be casual or dressy...depending on fabric and accessories...

the best part...they feel like you are wearing your pajama's...but you don't look like you are wearing pajama's...so stylish and chic...

in metallic silk with a cashmere sweater and a scarf...the look is cool...understated evening...in cotton or linen with a t-shirt and a pair of sandals...it's pure summer...

how do you wear your palazzo pants?
