Get The Look: Colored Pants

After I scoped out new looks at the mall this weekend, I came to realize that colored pants are becoming very popular.  Like many recent trends, they have been popular on and off over the past few years, but I never really took on the trend.  I am trying it this time... 

If you would like to experiment with colored pants as well for the summer, you'll love this post.

Step 2: Find the pants.

1.  JC Penny maroon City Streets skinny jeans found in-store and online for $9.
2.  Free People blue skinny jeans found at Free People Boutique or Macy's for $68.
3.  J Brand light blue skinny jeans found online for $168.
4.  Forever21 turquoise skinny jeans found in-store and online for $29.80.
5.  PacSun Bullhead skinny jeans found in-store and online for $49.50.
6.  Charlotte Russe teal skinny jeans found in-store and online for $29.99.


I hope you enjoy these pants.  I already have a blue pair and I plan to buy another pair in sea foam green or coral pink.  Can't wait! The stretchy legging-jean (jegging) type of colored pants seem to be the comfiest for me.

Stella McCartney Inspired

What do you get when you mix Stella McCartney Runway with a maxi skirt?  A beautiful thing.  The other day when I was browsing for lace shorts, I came across a skirt at Forever21 that made me very nostalgic.  The skirt reminded me of the 2011 Fall Stella McCartney runway!  The polka dots were very prominent.  I am planning on getting a long sheer maxi skirt like this one for summer and wearing gladiator sandals with it, or boots like the ones shown on the Forever21 model.  Ideas, ideas, ideas.

Get The Look: Lace Shorts

Lace shorts have a sort of vintage appeal that inspire me.  I love how they are often high waisted with intricate details.  Lace started getting more popular over the past two years, as lace dresses are more common now.

Step 2: Find out where you can buy lace shorts.



Step 3: Decide if you need them now...or should wait until it warms up a bit for sping.

I love how the high waisted look is very trendy -- especially when the shorts are belted with a robe belt that ties.  I can't wait to get my style on this spring.
