Colored Demin...Hit or Miss?

I am never one to jump on board a new trend. I wait until it's been around so long that it is just accepted as normal before I get into it. I didn't even own a pair of skinny jeans until last Winter...and I'm still not sure how they make me feel some days. When colored denim came out, I thought it was ridiculous, until I saw them in mini version and died at the cuteness.

Everything is better in mini version, though. Then I went into Gap on my lunch break one day and literally every employee was rocking them and looked awesome. They were all different sizes too...which gave me hope, because I have what I like to refer to as "tree trunk legs". There is really nothing skinny about them.

I ended up getting green. Not sure why I went for that color...it feels a little leprechaun-ish right now though. I also got a top another employee was wearing, but it looks see through and like a potato sack on me, so it's going back.

Button down and wedges. Yes, that is a tag.
I'm still undecided. What do you all think?

Do you own colored denim?

Is this look going to be out of style before I muster up the confidence to wear them outside of the house?

Are you so relieved that I didn't share another "craft" with you?!

This has been another thought provoking post, provided by yours truly. You're welcome.

  2. I love them! I have colored skinny jeans that are a tealish blue... so they definitely aren't as daring considering they could almost pass as blue jeans. I am sure by the time I can fit back into them (probably 2 years from now) color jeans will be like so over.

  3. I'm glad you're having a hard time getting on this trend as well - I think they're cute, but I'm not sure I could pull them off. You look fabulous, however, and I may be spending my AT giftcard that I've been holding on to this afternoon. Keep rockin' them sisterfriend.
