I wore this outfit to work yesterday, and one of the guys in finance came up to me and said: 'Wow, you're such a bolt of color'. Hell yes! For someone who practically lives in neutrals, I was elated to hear this!
Here I am wearing those bright blue pants again (last shown here). When I was debating whether or not to buy them, the salesperson simply said to me: "just wear them like you would regular jeans". And boy was she right. For those of you who are afraid of trying out colored pants you would be surprised at how extremely versatile they are. To the point where I've had to stop from wearing them at least three times a week. They are THAT.AWESOME.
To dress up these babies I paired them with my el-cheapo H&M flutter top and a splash of bling with a statement necklace that I bought at Banana Republic for 70% off. Seriously, this surge of color literally has me jumping for joy:
Oh yes, it is that happy day, isn't it???
Thanks for reading, and have a fantastic weekend :)

Sharon: what a fun outfit to wear to work. It is like an instant lift me up color. You make me want to go get a pair! So sad I am such a shortie that most jeans are too long..haha.
I know I was about to cry when I read that article. It is amazing how much you can relate when you have children. Just heartbreaking.
Great outfit! LOVE those pants!!
and yes, my dress is from a year (or 2) ago! I thought it was 2008, but if it was 2009 then it was in Jan. or Feb. (I wore it to a funeral in late Feb.). I've never belted it either but now I'll never wear it with out a belt!! ;) Have a great weekend!

You are a bolt of color! I love those jeans and cobalt blue is just perfect. I love how that H&M shirt is the perfect mix of slouch and fit--great outfit!
i love the pants on you. You can definitely rock colored pants. I saw one at HM but didnt get them since I wasnt sure where I would wear it to. Maybe one day I might try it on =)
Your comment made me chuckle! My husband and I would fight too on who clean the house..and of course I always lose =( He's ok seeing the house messy but me on the other hand, drives me insane therefore I have to clean it myself. but yes cleaning lady is cheaper then marriage counseling lol
Happy Friday!!!!
You do look like a bolt out of the blue! ;-) Those jeans are fantastic on you! Have a great weekend!
How right the sales person is when he says just wear them as you would a regular pair of jeans. It's just like jeans but I love the vibrant pop of blue or rather a bolt from the BLUE.
El Cheapo! Haha... I haven't used that term for a loooong time. I used to always use this term 2 years back. It doesn't mean I've upgraded now. I still go for cheap bargains.
looking great in neon blue jeans. i got a pair of teal-ish color from J brand. i think it will look nice with black top too.
You always look fab!! Have a lovely weekend:)

I LOVE THE BLUE PANTS. I need blue pants. Like, right now. I don't have pants in really any color, and that needs to change. I feel like I could totally revamp my entire wardrobe with just a couple of different colors of pants. I feel like they look stupid on me, though. Probably because I have short baby legs that can't handle the huge color. Lame nuts.

I shouldn't read your blog...now you have successfully inspired me to get a pair of bright coloured jeans. Sharon, I blame you for this ;p
And I think bright blue is the safest to start with.
Those are seriously gorgeous pants! I love that blue color and you look precious!!
You enjoy these cobalt pants for as long as possible because they look amazing on you! You sales associate was right, if you treat coloured denim like regular denim, you can make the as casual or as versatile as you'd like! I love Faux Fur, and I can't wait to see the pieces you have in your closet! Moto chic leather jacket...Love those too, it'd look awesome w/your cobalt jeans :)
Hi, you look awesome, love the blue skinnies, and the necklace is a great finishing touch.
Thanks for sharing, hope your week starts off well.

You never fail to put a smile on my face :) You know what?? I was thinking of you when I went to Harvey Nichols yesterday. Yes! I tried on the J Brand blue jeans. The very same one you're wearing now and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. The price is craaaazy so I'm going to order from a US website. As for red, arrrgh... I can't get over how bright it is.
