Happy Monday!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
I am participating in a two week blog hop sponsored by Wine Taste Girl, there are 6 bloggers and a giveaway associated with this hop too. The big prize, a pair of Tory Burch sandals and other prizes as well. Each blogger selected a spring style and a drink and my pick was
colored or printed denim and a gin and tonic.
Colored or printed denim has been a trend that has been growing on me, slowly, slowly but I think I have finally conquered my fear of wearing too much color on the lower half of my body. You might see a photo of me wearing colored denim soon enough.
Colored denim anyone?
and printed denim
My suggestion for wearing printed denim, keep the rest of the outfit simple, with basics and no other prints except the denim like this.
Or like this
Very cute for spring-time
Pair printed denim with a black blazer and black heels
A simple white top is a good accompanianment to printed denim
Now back to colored denim
A chambray top is a good essential for your closet in general so wear it with your colored denim
Another basic is a black to wear with the colored denim
Don't be afraid to wear more color besides your colored denim
To accompany your colored or printed denim, try a gin&tonic drink. I love gin&tonic because it is like a grown-up 7-Up or Sprite. My gin&tonic must have a lime and I always squeeze my lime into the drink then stir before I take the first sip.
The basic gin&tonic recipe:
The basic gin&tonic recipe:
- 4 to 5 tonic water Ice Cubes

I really like the colored jeans but the printed ones I am not so sure about. Great post!
I haven't braved the colored jeans yet but I think I would like to try! I love my white skinny jeans but that doesn't count as a color right?
I tried your David Beckham bars --- Oh. My. Gosh. SO GOOD!
I really need more colored denim! It's such a fresh and fun way to wear jeans during the spring!
I am definitely going to need to pick up some colored denim soon!! Love this post! :)
Great post!! We love colored denim and think everyone should own a pair! Also the G&T recipe is making us thirsty for happy hour! :-)

love the colored denim, I'm just not so sold on the printed denim...at least for me anyway!
I still need to invest in my first pair colored denim! I'm thinking a fun pastel pair needs to be first!
I've been wanting colored denim for months- of course my roommate just got colored & printed pants at Free People! Love your fashion ideas! xo
I'm all for the colored denim! I own a mint pair and a pale yellow! I have yet to purchase a printed pair, but soon enough I'll get my hands on a pair! Embrace it! xoxo A-
I've been obsessed with colored denim lately. But I used to wear all of my bright colors on my tops, so now I've been in desperate need of more neutral tops!
Gin and tonic...I don't know if I can handle that grown-up of a drink!

I can't wait to get back into normal clothes!! There are so many new styles I want to try out that this belly won't accommodate - soon! :)
Cant get on board with the printed jeans, but am loving the colored ones!
At first I didnt know I felt about colored skinnies but as I have seen them more and more I am totally loving them. I am wanting a red pair and blue at the moment.
LOVE printed denim-- dying for some floral and polka dot pants! And am definitely a fan of colored denim this spring too :)
Great post. I'm loving my colored denim this season. I need to get some printed options. Brandy
Great post! I have two pairs of colored denim but don't wear them nearly enough. In fact, I've only worn the green pair once :( I feel silly when I wear them. I need to get over that!
I love colored skinnies! LOVE. I want them in every color. :)
LOVE colored jeans!! I haven't been brave enough to try on print, but am so tempted to..especially after seeing those precious florals pictured above!
Super cute! Happy Monday!
