Whenever I reach in my closet to find something to wear in the morning, I always find myself reaching for darker colors like black and gray. So this morning I forced myself to go against the norm and grab something lighter.
I just got this white Express top for Christmas and I love it. It has beautiful lace detail at the top and it is so comfortable. I also got the purple skinnies for Christmas and I am surprised at how versatile they are. I've already worn them a bunch of times. I was a little nervous to get them because I wasn't sure how often I would really wear them, and I've also heard that colored denim is slowly phasing itself out, but they had an amazing deal on them so I was sold.

If you couldn't tell by the look on my face in these pictures, it was FREEZING outside. Yeah, I'm a wimp, I know it. And of course right after I took these pictures I realized I could have worn my coat in the pictures because it matched and was actually really cute with it ...fail. Oh well!
I tried a sheer plum lipstick for the first time and I think I actually really love it! I figured what better time to wear it than with plum colored pants! I was a little worried that I would look like I had hypothermia or something. haha!
Do you think colored denim is slowly phasing itself out?

Love that top and I'm still into colored denim. A fashion blogger wore hers yesterday and I commented that it reminded me to pull mine out from the back of the closet.
ReplyDeletePlum is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I am loving that plum on you!!!!
ReplyDeletePlum is one of my all-time favorite colours! I almost bought plum skinnies once, but I just couldn't find the right fit in the right colour. These ones look great. I still love coloured denim and wore a pair yesterday! That top is beautiful. It looks so elegant and classic. I always tend to reach for darker colours too, but anything black shows so much dog hair, so I think it's time to invest in some lighter pieces.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely one of my favorite colors too! I love purple! Thank you so much! That top is really comfortable too. I'm definitely trying to get myself to wear light colors more often.
ReplyDeleteThank Julie!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's definitely one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI just got a couple pairs of colored denim for Christmas so I've been hoping that it isn't going away any time soon. lol!
ReplyDeleteI think you look great Julie! I don't have any colorful pants, I want some but I'm afraid I would just look silly in them. Plus I hate my legs so I don't want to give people any more reason to stare at them :P

Thanks so much! I think that's the same reason it took me so long to try them too. I still haven't tried the pattern leggings for the same reason. I hate scrawny little chicken legs. lol!
ReplyDeleteI love that outfit! I think colored denim that is dark like yours is still very wearable and is a nice switch for winter instead of dark/black washes. Also, that bracelet is gorgeous! Totally my style.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done any outfit posts since it started to get cold, so you're much stronger than I am.
I just fake it well! hahaha! I'm such a sissy about the cold. We take them in under 2 minutes because I'm frozen.
ReplyDeleteLove that you matched your lip to your jeans!

i love the color of that denim! I have to get one of those just in time for autumn here. P.s. I love the layout change. It's so you!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love those pants!

I adore the simplicity of this look, beautiful, and suits you really well!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! I will wear colored denim, even if it's not cool anymore. I love it. It adds so much to an outfit!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think some colored denim is out. Cobalt? Mint? Coral? Those are all done. Burgundy? Black? Forest Green? All in. I plan on carrying over my burgundy jeans into the spring with pink sweaters and yellow tops. They are so much more versatile than the VERY bright colors of previous years. I had a pair of coral jeans that lasted one season in my closet. Far too limited and far too much color across my booty. I love them with this creamy white top. So pretty! Definitely a great choice.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think they are my new favorite colored jeans. But I may be biased because I love purple so much. haha! I have mint and cobalt skinnies...but I have noticed myself grabbing for the mint ones less. I think I've only worn this twice this winter. I never had the coral but I thought about getting them because I saw a lot of outfits I liked with them. I'm kind of glad I never picked them up now! haha. I love my burgundy and black ones too. I wear them all the time. I practically live in the black lol
ReplyDeletehaha! I will probably continue to wear the colored denim too... I may just phase out a couple colors that I have. lol!
