just add color!


can we talk about how excited i am that the colored denim trend is sticking around? last year i picked up both red and cobalt blue skinnies, but i was a little hesitant to stock up on a bunch of colored denim because i wasn't quite sure the trend would last. well, here we are over a year later and not only is colored denim still in, but now we've got even more fun denim to wear like printed denim (animal prints, floral, etc)!

last week, i picked up a pair of green skinnies that i think will be quite a staple in my fall wardrobe. i've gotta admit that i doubt that these will be the last pair of colored denim i buy- i'm thinking i'll get purple skinnies next! i just love that throwing on these jeans is a quick, easy way to brighten up your whole outfit.

i know many of you don't think you can pull off colored denim or don't know how to wear them, but let me tell you: YOU CAN PULL IT OFF. most of the time i pair my colored denim with a solid colored shirt and a fun bag or shoes. so easy! see:

YES! I die for colored denim, although I don't look half as good as you!

You are so cute!! I still haven't worn my red pair out in public... I'm scared. I know I can do it and will love it... it's just a little scary to take that leap.

I have a pair of red skinnies ... but seeing that skinny is not in my vocab, I've worn them once, with a long, semi-flowy top ... I'll get more brave after I lose this piano I've been draggin' along the last year or two :)

You ROCK those skinnies!!! :) Gorgeous as always!

3 times last week I was THIS close to picking up a pair. I want some I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I love those shoes!

Samantha said...

I have no colored denim whatsoever...but I'm gonna get me some, even if my Husband isn't too fond of it. He'll just have to get used to it, b/c I LOVE IT!

Jessica @ O. Alouette said...

Love colored denim! I have one dark red and one purple but I'm wanting so many more for fall!

Lindsay @ Trial By Sapphire said...

I will never, never wear skinnies, because they would be horrible on my body type, BUT I did just buy my first pair of colored pants! :) Purple!

How freakin cute are you!

Colored denim looks cute on svelte gals such as yourself, but I have yet to see a single pair on a plus-size gal like me (who needs it to not be low-rise, as well). :(

When I was in HS colored jeans were big. I had every color of the rainbow! And some more!

Chris said...

You know I love me some colored denim! I was so scared at first and I got over my fear with a pair of red jeans... I loved it! I want mustard for fall!

kjpugs said...

I love this look but it's not the color that is preventing me- it's the SKINNYness! I might be brave in the winter and try it... we shall see!

I like the magenta and both green pairs. I bought a pair of purple ones from LOFT that I have worn a couple of times and like. I've never purchased pants from Old Navy so don't even know what size I would be. I've hear d alot of people size up one or even two sizes. Is that what you do?

Lindsey A. Turner said...

Yes I do! I l already have about 5 pairs but I want more!

Whitney @ Everything Happens For a Reason said...

I love skinny jeans, especially colored jeans! I want one in every color!

Jessica Ayala said...

You're also like the cutest person ever and can pull them off easily!!! :) I will admit, however, that although I don't own any jeans, I do have a very adorable pair of green shorts. It's almost like colored skinnies :)

smk053078 said...

I am right there with you! Except I can't wear the ON ones...momma has had to go elsewhere to find colored denim. I am so pumped they have stuck around!! Adding to my collection as we speak! ;)

Megan said...

These are actually on sale starting today for under $20!! I paid 34.50 last week but going this weekend to get the difference and to pick up another pair! :)
