Colored Jeans

Confession time! For the longest time, I don't even know how long, I was scared of colored jeans. Yep. Other colored pants (especially chino shorts!) were no problem, but I couldn't make colored jeans make sense in my head. They just didn't click with something in my mind. Flash forward to this September-ish, and colored jeans were beginning to set in my mind as something I wanted to try out.

I was out shopping one day and tried on a pair of mint jeans and fell in love. However, I wasn't sure if I really, really wanted them or if I was just in the mood to spend money. So I waited.

Two weekends ago, I was out and about again with some friends. We were looking for a birthday gift for one of our friends and decided to pop into J.Crew. And there they were.

The Toothpick Jean in a perfect, minty green. There was one pair in my size, and they were 30% off the final sale price. I almost dropped dead. It was like a sign from God telling me I should get them. (They're also on sale online, plus you can use the code OURTREAT for 30% off all final sale items! Be careful though, J.Crew denim tends to run about half a size or a size small.) 

I'm obsessed. 

The thing that kept me back from colored jeans the most was the thought that they wouldn't be as versatile or go with as many things. Turns out, I have a ton of tops and shoes to pair with them year round! I'm also so excited to add to my new collection of colored jeans! I'm thinking this light purple pair is next.

What are your thoughts on colored jeans?
