Spring Trend Watch: Floral Pants

If you've opened up a magazine in the last few months you've seen them:  floral pants.

I can't decide how I feel.  I'm on the fence.  In flux.  Wishy.  Washy.

Here they are styled three ways in Lucky Magazine's April 2013 issue:

Look 1:  Peplum and Oxfords
Look 2:  Mixing Stripes and Florals
Look 3:  Sweatshirt, heavy metal details

Here they are in anthropologie:

Here's me trying on a pair in the Sears dressing room:

I couldn't decide - so I didn't buy them.   But, I keep thinking about them.  

So I did what any other red-blooded American woman would do:

I conducted an uber-scientic poll on facebook to see what my friends thought. 

I got the following responses:

(I've removed identities to protect the innocent)

1. "Super cute!"
2. "You look good in anything but i think the pants themselves are just awful!!!! lol."
3. "I'm so out of the loop. My grandma had a couch that looked just like that."
4. "I definitely had a backpack like those. I LOVED that backpack. In 1993."
5. "They would be great for spring and they look super cute!"
6. " I don't know... A yellow tank and tori burch flips with a cute necklace might do the trick. I like things other people hate lol"
7. "Super cute"
8. "Everything old is new again. if anyone could pull them off, it would be you"
9. "I like them!"
10. " No." <--- perhaps my favorite response of all - an emphatic NO lol
11. "I would feel like such an ass, but as everyone has said you look cute and can totally pull them off."
12. "Buy them you can wear them they are cute! Def flats and yellow or even coral tank"
13. " Love them!!"
14. "Of course!"
15. " DOOOO ITTTTT!!!! Lol! You look amazing in them and they are adorbs :))"
16. " No. In one month you will not regret not buying them."
17. " I think you would have to move to Florida to get good use out of them."

What do you think?  Yea?  Or nay?

I still can't decide.  Seventeen people weighed in and I can't make a decision.  I feel like my mother.  

I mean they are on sale for $23.99.. worst case scenario I wear them once and consign them.  Right?  Right??  They look just like the ones in anthro... Ugh!  Tell me what to do! 

Tell. Me. What. To. Do.

Evolution

I need some advice.

(Especially from all my fellow bloggers.)

It seems as though my focus of my blog is changing.

I still want to promote local business and fashion in Rochester NY - but it seems as though that's not the only thing I want to write about.  I'd love to do commentary on all kinds of things:  book reviews, snarky pop culture pieces, personal style, lifestyle, parenting, and just general nonsense.

Here is my question for you:  Do I morph this blog into all things Jenny and offer my readers a shmorgishborg of material and just include a page/tab dedicated to Rochester Shopping/Fashion events.  OR do I make a second blog and refine this one to stay completely local and on-point with the original mission statement?

Regardless of my decision, the Flower City Fashionista facebook page will continue to announce new posts and focus on local happenings.

I just don't know whether to evolve or create new.

What would you do?

(hey that rhymed)

I just would hate to end up like these guys:

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
