Dipping my toes into colored denim

There have been a lot of trends lately that I kind of remember from middle school.  Printed denim.  Vests.  Floral rayon skirts and flowy pants.  I am not ready to sport most of them.  It's too soon!  Middle school was an awkward time for many of us.  I don't care to re-live it through my clothing at this time.  I think these looks are cute on other people.  I'm just not comfortable enough to try most of them.  Still, I've been seeing a quite a bit of colored denim, and thought maybe I could handle that.

  jacket and jeans: Old Navy     tee: Kohl's     rain boots: Wal Mart

I was getting ready to run errands in the rain, hence the boots.  Notice that these jeans are, in fact, colored denim, but they're still blue.  Baby steps.  I found them on the clearance rack and thought, what the heck.  We'll see how it goes.  They also happen to be ankle length, which I am not used to.  Wearing full length pants has been ingrained into me after years of thinking ankle length = high waters.  Maybe next time I'll try some leopard print denim!  Ok, probably not.

    1. I didn't think I'd ever buy them either! I thought about getting a pair in green (since green is my favorite color), but then found these blue ones for $5.97. If I didn't end up liking them, I wouldn't be out much.

  2. I also started with a blue colored pant..then I moved on to pink and I really had to stop myself from getting a mint colored pair...and orange and everything else. Seriously, once you start, its too hard to stop!!

    1. I briefly considered a pair of hot pink because it tends to be a good color for me, but the blue won out mostly because of the price.

  3. I've been looking at colored pants, but I haven't made the jump! Not yet. Maybe sometime this fall! One fad I will NOT try is neon. I am wayyyyyyy over the neon look.

    PS- Ankle pants with boots is what helped me get used to wearing ankle pants again. That said, wide leg/boot cut are still my favorite!

    1. I am not so into neon either. I *might* try a couple of small accessories, but I don't see myself wearing an actual piece of neon clothing!
