So, feeling a little intimidated I paired them first with white. A plain white shirt. Anything else felt too intense. (especially for work.)
But I knew that if I was going to keep them, I needed to find more than one way to wear them so I could fully justify my purchase. (My number one rule for buying any piece of clothing is asking myself if can I wear it more than one way.)
And a few months later I'm happy to say I've decided that my green jeans are a wardrobe staple, and not as scary to style as I thought.
blouse: F21 // tank: Old Navy // Jeans: Urban Outfitters // flats: Target
(I feel like I match the grass in this photo)
jean blouse: thrifted // jeans: Urban // booties: Wanted
Rocking the denim-on-denim trend in a safe way. :)
cardigan: Target // tee: h&m // jeans: you know...
striped tee: Gap // denim jacket: ??
this is my go to outfit-- stripes with colored denim.
Do you wear colored denim? How do you style them? My next challenge is to wear them with a bright color-- like coral or even pink!
xo, erika
stripes are my favorite...love them all though :):)
ReplyDeletenice work! I totally agree that I consider what all I already own that I can wear with the item to be purchased. I have a green pair of chinos I've been wearing for years and love them...a little more work-appropriate for me. Can't wait to live out west again and wear denim any day of the week!
ReplyDeletei just wore green paints (target skinnies) to work yesterday! i love them. i paired them with a bright yellow cardigan and beige target slip-ons. i looked very 'spring'....love your different looks!
ReplyDeleteI never thought I could branch out into colored jeans, but now that I did I'm never going back! I have 3 pairs. One green, much like yours, a turquoise pair and I just added a mint pair to the bunch! I love to pair them with floral tops and I roll the jeans up to give them a cropped look :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the ways you styled these pants!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with you, whenever I buy something I have to think of things I already have that I could pair it with ((or else, what is the point of buying something that you will a) never wear or b) if you want to wear it, you need to go out and buy things to match it with.)) :P
I have yet to own any colored denim but I think I'd like to!
ReplyDeleteYou look so lovely, Erica! The first and last looks are my favorite ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat looks! I love the colored denim that out right now.
