I have a problem with buying lots of fun printed or embellished pieces and then coming home and realizing I have nothing to wear them with. Thinking that I can't be the only one with this problem, I've chosen to highlight some great basics that will help you answer the "I love this, but what on earth am I going to wear it with?" question. This week, I'm focusing on pants. Though at first glance these pants may seem like a pretty plain and boring thing to get excited about, there are so many reasons they will become your new go-to: this dark camel color looks great with everything (even more so than the typical khaki) and can be worn year-round; the pants are made in that great stretch fabric that holds its shape better than cotton and looks much more polished; the straight leg fit that isn't skin-tight through the thighs allows you to tuck a shirt in without throwing off proportions; the ankle crop not only makes your ankles look tiny but also perfectly showcases shoes. Here, I've paired the pants with neutral accessories to make the gorgeous print of the blouse really pop, but these pants would look just as great with a neutral top and a brightly colored or patterned pair of shoes.

*Note: this needs an off-white/nude tank underneath, if you don't already have one, try this...but,
speaking from experience: order a size (or two) up...F21 basics tend to be a little too skin-tight.

5) Cognac bow sling-backs, Zara, $99.90
