Not that I'm buying this overpriced pair, but they are the first ones I've liked, so am keeping my eyes open:

As expected, I seem to like the pricier one:( Yey for Anthro.

I like them both. Una I think its all in the styling, and I think you could pull them off no worries.

the pattern placement has to be right--on the CoH one at Anthro, the model looks like she has a bouquet blooming out of her crotch.

Eh, florals aren't my cup of tea. But would love to see what you do with them, if you decide to pounce

Love! I think the first pair are my favorite, but both could be good. You could definitely pull them off! In fact, I think you may *need* them.

What do you think about floral pants vs. jeans? I think these might be easier to wear, at least for me:

Those are lovely, Laura! I've given up on Zara online orders because of sizing issues.

I did find these:

which seem very pattern-mixable...

I really like the idea, but I just don't love the ones you linked. Love of prints is so subjective, though! I love the first one that Laura posted.

Yay! I like the COH ones and was meaning to try them on next time I'm at Anthro... actually i like the cream version of the COHs best, but I'm sure I will have all my normal white pants issues with them, so the blue is a better bet. Inseam seems a bit short for me though... but it may be fine for you.

Ooohh! Love, love! Can't decide if I like the anthro ones or the asos ones better. I think they'd look awesome with a crisp white shirt and booties, Or a blousy striped tunic with some of the same colors. Love your rockin' haircut, btw.

I like them and think they would be fun to wear this spring and summer. I would love to see the outfits you would put together with them. Unfortunately, they don't really fit my lifestyle and I'm really trying to break out of the habit of buying things I have no where to wear.

I would love to see someone on YLF do floral jeans.

On me, smaller prints work way better than big prints. The big prints really draw the eye to my not-so-slim thighs. But I don't think you have the thigh issues that I do.

If you have two sizes in jeans, pick your bigger size for COHs, that's my advice too.

Taylor at eatsleepdenim reviewed these COHs if you want to see a picture of them on a normal person (well, slim tall and normal at least).

I love, love love these. My plus size, apple figure could never pull this off, so I will live vicariously through you, therefore you MUST buy a pair

I so want a pair of floral pants/jeans! I went to H&M looking for their floral pants but they didn't have any. I like the Anthro one and the ASOS one you linked. I also found another one at Nordstrom by Paige--haven't tried that on but it's really pricey too--$189. A lot more than $15, that's for sure.

I'm oh so sad about the flowers - growing - out - of - crotch - issue! Good catch!!!
I would totally wear the ones with the grayscale floral pattern.

I'm afraid I have a poison eye for these - but if anyone can make 'em work, it's you Una!

Una, what happened to the Motel marble pants?

I like the floral ones for you, too. You rock skinnies, and you would pull off bottom detail swimmingly.

Oh, I kept the Motel galaxy pants in the smaller size! I will have to post a pic. The dress got sent back though.

Neither of these florals are inspiring me outfit-wise. I need to find something that does... Love the suggestions!

I love the floral jeans, but I am trying to resist because buying them would be buying for my imaginary life instead of my real life.

And re: the COH jeans, at $185 is it to much to ask that they make some attempt to match the pattern at the seams?

Mary, $185 is pretty outrageous for my old pants from the 80s.

LOL at the flowers growing out the crotch! (Is anyone else thinking of Hieronymus Bosch now?) Although I am willing to bet that it is just random variation in the fabric placement... so if one were to go to the store one could probably pick out a pair that did not have unfortunate growths.

As usual, I'm not reading the other replies until I write my response!

Honestly, I think the jeans are very, very cute. That being said...I don't know how old you are, but personally I think they're for the college-age or younger set. I personally am 32, and I think I would be way too old to wear these. Sorry. :-/ Then again, I think it has been established that I'm not the most fashion-forward person here, so YMMV!

I also remember floral jeans from my junior high days. *sigh*...

SIF, I am WAY older than you! And you are most likely right. But I'm on Team Don't Let Age Stop You, for better or worse. Probably worse!

"Team Don't Let Age Stop You"...LOL! I thought I was too old to even wear skinnies until I started reading this blog (I've still only worn mine once...they may just not be the trend for me), but I am guilty of owning lots of tees from the juniors department. My favorite has a fuzzy tiger and rhinestones on it. But I wear it with PPL bootcut jeans and heeled booties. Ha!
