Sweater- Forever 21 // Pants- Old Navy // Boots- TJ Maxx via Lydia
If it’s looking like it’s not snowy enough in these pictures, it’s because these are about a month old and were taken when I was home in California visiting my family. I remember when I didn’t own a single pair of colored pants. Then Old Navy had a major sale on their Rockstar Jeans and I had an Old Navy coupon, so I was able to score three pairs of colored pants for about $15 each!
I love colored pants for two reasons: one- they’re fun and two- they’re a great way to switch up your look when it’s freezing degrees outside and your wearing nothing but pants to keep warm. So far I have these purple ones, a mustard-colored pair and also some bright green ones. I still want to add a few more colors to my wardrobe- particularly a cobalt blue and a true red.
Tell me: Would you wear colored pants?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I only have a bright orange pair (that I wear rarely), a light green and turquoise pair that I wear often. My problem always turns out to be that I dont have that many tops to match. I feel like I always end up wearing a black top, and need to learn to branch out!
I’ve been trying the monochromatic look with my colored pants lately- wearing the same color family on top in darker or lighter shade. You’re right, it is more challenging to match to colored pants and I like to go on Pinterest to look for inspiration!
I love your grape purple pants! They’re so awesome, and those sparkly chelsea boots are amazing as well. :D I would definitely wear some colored skinnies, but alas, I am not much of a pants person, so I can’t say that’s going to happen anytime soon… but I do love how they look on others (such as your stylish self!).
You’re so sweet- thank you Ali! :)
What a fantastic deal! This color purple is so gorgeous! I have a light purple pair with white faded polka dots on them, and then a burgundy pair. I’d like to try mint, and see how that works.
Your polka dot pair sound so cute! I’ve been searching for a mint pant for a while, but I can’t seem to find the exact shade I want.
great deal on the pants – they have become a closet staple for me! Love this color!
Thanks Lydia! I love the way you wear colored pants- always gives me inspiration :)
Love these pants! I tried the Rockstar jeans but they didn’t work for me at all :(
Thank you! I had to size up but I do love that they’re not so long on me that I have to roll them up (I always almost have to roll up my pants).
I love your pants. I am a huge fan of colored pants on others and I own a few pairs myself but I still feel a little self conscious wearing them.
I adore your shoes.

Thank you Tracy! I felt pretty self-conscious the first time I wore my bright green ones, but I think I’ve gotten used to them now :)
I definitely do! I have a pair of royal blue ones that I love to death! I would like red and purple next!
I want red ones too! :)
I’m really digging the purple pants on you and I like how you paired it with a similar colour shoe. I actually love coloured trousers. They really make any outfit more dressy and classy! xo
Thank you Lauren! :)
I love your little booties! And I could really use some more colorful pants in my wardrobe.
Thanks Laura! :)
Great color! Love Old Navy’s Rockstar jeans. They came in all colors of the rainbow :)
Thanks Kim! Yes, I love that they come in so many different colors- hope I’ll be adding more to my closet soon!
