Why Did You Wear That: Wear the Rainbow

By |January 12th, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

When I walked into the fifth floor of Saks a couple of weeks ago, my eyes lit up as I saw a table of denim in almost every color in the rainbow.  I love jeans and making them in different colors is merely an excuse for me to buy more… cause I need a pair of lavender jeans, don’t I?  Right.  For a while denim has been clean, skinny, and dark (thank God, we’ve moved past that whole “distressed”, rhinestoned, whiskered phase).  We saw the emergence of red denim this past year, but it hasn’t been since Bongo jeans and snap crotch bodysuits that I’ve seen such a variety of saturated shades.  Have I dated myself?  No?  Cotempo Casuals, anyone?  Here’s a roundup of some of my favorite shades that I can’t wait to wear.

Top (L to R): AG Adriano Goldschmied The Stilt Cigarette Pants in Neon Yellow, $159, 7 for All Mankind Skinny Twill Jeans in Neon Yellow, $169, J Brand Skinny Twill Pants in Canary, $176 7 for All Mankind Gwenevere Skinny Jeans in Deep Canteloupe, $169,  Joe’s Colored Skinny Jeans in Nectar, $158 J Brand Skinny Twill Pants in Fraise, $176

Bottom (L to R): J Brand Skinny Twill Pants in St. Tropez, $176, AG Adriano Goldschmied The Stilt Cigarette Jeans in Highlighter Blue, $159, Joe’s Colored Skinny Jeans in French Blue, $158, Rag & Bone The Skinny Jeans in Royal, $1767 for All Mankind Skinny Twill Jeans in Light Purple, $169,  7 for All Mankind Skinny Twill Jeans in Neon Pink, $169

Now you’re pants can be as bright as you are.

Why Did You Wear That: Shades That Were Made for Each Other

By |October 5th, 2011|Why Did You Wear That?|

 A couple of weeks ago, I pulled both of these photos separately, only to realize that they had something in common: the color combination of an orangey-coral and denim.  These colors look so great together and work on both the top and bottom as well as on fair complexions and warmer complexions– not to mention they are great colors for the fall transition period.  Tan or gold accessories would accent both outfits nicely.  Dressed down for day or spruced up for evening, you can’t go wrong with these shades so clearly made for each other.

1. Rubbish Winter Chambray Shirt, $49, 2. Ksubi La Femme Cropped Jean, $195, 3. Blaque Label 3/4 Sleeve Blouse, $67.50, 4. MOTEL Chantel Flare Denim Trouser, $80

Orange you glad I wrote this?
