I didn't discover the magic of pom-poms until my sophomore year of college. Pre-pouf phase, I was strictly a floral girl — I've never met a daisy frock I didn't like. But once I fell, I fell hard; in no time I had placed the colorful bite-size balls all over my room and along any sleeve, cuff, hem and sandal I saw fit. 

I've since matured, and my obsession has somewhat subsided — I've limited my pom-poms to slides and straw beach totes. But the instant I laid eyes on these pants by Farrow, all my suppressed desires to pom-pom-ify my life came back stronger than ever. 

The flounce hem and the gingham print combined seem to communicate to the world: "I'm 30 (fine, 23) and flirty and thriving." In short: you can catch me and my pom-pom-trimmed farm-to-(picnic)table pants en route to eternal happiness this fall. 

Farrow Pom Pom Pant in Gingham, $68, available at Need Supply Co.
