I must admit, in the last month I've tried on two pairs of colorful jeans. I can't seem to make up my mind though on whether they're a purchase I'll be proud of, or regret. It always seems I get the guts up to try something crazy around the same time that it's going out of style.
But I am loving the idea of bright colors.
You see - it's my birthday week and that is a good excuse to shop. So I've tried on mint green and teal pants. Each time I walked away telling myself that I would never wear them or that I'll buy them when I'm in a smaller size. But it turns out that pretty much all colorful jeans run small. I'm not just saying that as a woman who needs to come to terms with a new jeans size, it's what the sales associates tell you every time you pick them up and tell them you need a fitting room. They're skin tight too, when they say go at least two sizes up, they're not kidding - because you won't get them past your knees.
How long are these going to be around anyway? A season or two? Is it worth it? Because I get a lot of wear out of pants and it'll kill the frugal side of me to buy a pair of pants I'll only wear for a summer. I often wonder what I would wear with them. The suggested way to wear them is the ultra hip color blocking, by adding color to more color. I'm not that brave. I think I'd go with something like this:
This just looks like Spring to me. Which is today, by the way. Or is it tomorrow? I don't know - it always falls around my birthday.
And it turns out you can find colorful jeans....EVERYWHERE:
I guess the question is...what color?
Has anyone else out there taken the plunge and has been rocking the colorful jeans? Are they easy to rock? Are you happy you did it?
I've tried a few pairs on but they're so skin tight and they end up not having other sizes to try. If I did get a pair, I wouldn't spend very much on them because by next summer, they could be out of style.
ReplyDeletei don't have the body to do that. if i did i probably would.
ReplyDeleteIf i was thinner - I'd rock it. Actually when I was thinner and they had colored pants - I remember I was 21 so 7 years ago - I had a pair of red jeans - loved them. And I saw them at old navy & kohls & kmart. Bright colors are back.
ReplyDeleteI love those grey pair. If they weren't skinny jeans - I might still go for it. But I think they are all skinny. Maybe shorts? That would still be cute.
Good luck! And even if it's for your birthday just go for it! :)
I tried on some at Target. None of them fit right. I'd like to find a great mint pair.
