Color Denim: Outfitting Inspiration

To follow up the last post praising the color denim trend, below are a few of my favorite color denim looks from the all-knowing fashion bloggers from Cupcakes & Cashmere, Atlantic-Pacific, Could I have That?, and Cheetah is the New Black. These ladies perfected the art of layering, dressing it up, and dressing it down with their eclectic assortment of color denim seen below:

White denim with strappy sandals and a silk print blouse- via Atlantic-Pacific

Tangerine ankle skinnies with flat sandals and a breezy white top- via Could I Have That?

Floral Print pants dresses up with booties, a full cream blouse and leather jacket- via Cheetah Is the New Black

Yellow Polka Dot skinnies with a men's shirt and sweater- via Atlantic-Pacific
So- now there are really no excuses to not indulge in color denim for Spring and Summer. As see above, bright pants can even be paired with dark jackets and knit layers for cooler seasons!

Cheers!

Spring Style Inspiration

The colored skinny is THE major piece to jumpstart any Spring and Summer wardrobe. As usual, I have been apprehensive to jump on the bandwagon. I think the red/white/floral/tangerine/aqua/cobalt skinny jeans look INCREDIBLE on most everyone, but the first few times I tried color denim on, I was discouraged by their tendency to highlight the larger parts of my legs. Despite that knowledge, I have continually envied all of my colored denim clad friends, blogger fashionistas, and celebs. So, I tried the long-coveted pants on one more time- you know for good measure- and decided to GO FOR IT!

The particular pair I selected are coral ankle length skinny jeans by Blank NYC ($68):


Other covetable options that are a little out of my color skinny jean budget include:

1) AG Denim The Stilt in Fresh Green ($159)


2) Citizens of Humanity Thompson Skinny in Mango Tango ($194)


3) J Brand 811 Mid-Rise Skinny Leg in Blue Bonnet ($176)


So, now that we all are reminded about how many AMAZING hued jeans are out there- let's discuss outfitting. For now, I will be digging through my closet and planning out all the potential looks for my coral skinnies. Post to come!

Cheers,

Emily
