Grey Day, Orange Pants


The grey cloudy weather today, reminded me of gloomy winter. Since Spring is my favorite time of year and I so desperately want the weather to be warm and sunny, I thought it would be fun to add some a pop of color  to the grey day in the spirit of spring! I recently bought a pair of orange denim Blank NYC jeans from Madewell and I knew that they would be a great center piece for the outfit. I paired the jeans with a white & navy oversized stripped sweater, a dark wash (campstone) chambray,  a gold leaf necklace and my favorite cobalt blue flats. I kept the hair and make-up pretty basic to go with the laid back feel of the outfit. 

Shirt: Madewell, Sweater: H&M, Jeans: Madewell, Necklace: F21, Ring: Madewell, Sunglasses: Kate Spade, Shoes: Aldo
Color denim can sometimes be a tough piece for people to work with, but I love a fashion challenge so I always try to have fun with it. My staple  for any outfit is a blazer; I pair it with skirts, dresses, trousers, cargo pants, jeans-- the sky is the limit!  So if your stumped by colored pants wear them with a basic t-shirt/tank and a blazer, such a cute simple outfit. The other week, I wore these jeans a with a chunky brown and white sweater, a navy blue blazer and long necklace. Try to not get too caught up on the color of the pants and don't worry about matching them exactly with the colors in the rest of your outfit. Just use the jeans as your starting point and let your imagination run wild!

Some places you can find color jeans: Gap, Jcrew, Zara, Nordstrom and Loft. I have a wide range of colors including: mint, mustard, neon yellow, fuschia, orange, red and maroon.
