Day 7: Conquering Colored Denim

day 7

bff-1
What I'm wearing: H&M blouse, J.Crew sweater, Zara red jeans, Banana Republic outlet sandals, Forever 21 pearl earrings

I used to be so afraid of colored denim. I even considered returning these pants after I bought them, but ultimately decided it was time for me to try something new. I always thought that bright denim was meant for girls with stick-thin figures, and as someone with more of a pear shape, I would never be able to pull it off. But during my time here in NYC, I saw more and more girls wearing colored jeans and was dying to try the trend for myself. So I threw all preconceived notions aside, and here I am, wearing my red denim proudly! For this look, I kept the top half neutral, but I can't wait to pair these pants with more brights. So lesson of the day: Don't just assume something won't work for your body type. It doesn't hurt to try things on in a dressing room; if it looks silly, you're the only one who will be seeing it. If you really want to try out something new, go for it!

I totally love this look! The red jeans look great, and I love the sweater/blouse combo with them! I'm on the hunt for colored denim at the moment, and excited to finally get my hands on some!
