My general rule on trends is the following -- if I was around the first time the trend was popular then I'm not allowed to wear the trend when it comes back. However, there just has to be some exceptions to any rule. Such is the case with the colored denim trend. I remember when I was around 13 or 14 (when colored denim was trendy last time) I think I owned a green denim jacket (ewww). But I just couldn't resist all the delicious colors that I'm seeing everywhere now -- coral, turquoise, sea foam... I broke down and bought a pair of Joe's jeans in "cobalt". At first I wasn't sure if I was able to pull them off (they're bright!) but now I see that they're actually quite fun and versatile for work and weekends.
Here are some totally fun colors from the store window at Mario's downtown.
Here's my Joe's jeans ($99 from Nordstrom), black light blazer ($50 Nordstrom Rack), white v-neck t-shirt ($28 Caslon) and Kooba bag. You can't see in this picture but I'm wearing Cole Haan black strappy espadrille wedges ($119). The only piece that's new this season is the jeans, everything else is recycled from previous seasons.
