Feelin' Springay

 Well you'll either love this or you'll hate it! And if you hate it, I don't want to know.  I have to thank my dad for this outfit.  I very much appreciate that he cares *and often funds* my clothing needs.  He picked it out for me over spring break last year in Vegas.  I haven't worn these two pieces together until now.  I really do love the jeans, they're a fun length.  And I love having a pair of colored jeans.  At the same time, one pair is plenty.  And the shirt,well it's super comfortable and so fun...WIN! Background look familiar?  Let's just say this is how it has worked the last few days.

Me: Hubs, come hurry and take my picture before I leave
Hubs: Again?? Just kidding, I'd love to.
Me: Where should we take it?
Hubs: You were supposed to leave 2 minutes ago...how about in your car?
Me: Funny. The street?
Hubs: Good Idea

 Why is it whenever I'm leaving, he is just walking in the door, and whenever I'm getting home, he is just leaving? A question for another day.

What I'm Wearing:
Shirt: Gap
Jeans: Gap

How would you wear these pants? Rolled up a little or do you like the "hitting at the ankle length" above?  Do you own colored jeans?  I would love some suggestions on how else to wear these pants! Oh, and thanks for the jeans input from below.  I'm going to enlist my mom, aka master seamstress, to help me turn some into shorts/capris/ and maybe something else awesome.

Thanks to Liz and Audrey and Laura for the blog awards!

I love this! I love your colored jeans a lot. Me thinks I need a pair now. I like them rolled up better. Your ankles look super tiny here!!

Lucky you, enjoying the sunshine! I really like the pants rolled up a bit, it is a little boho but still put-together.

I love this outfit!! I like the jeans rolled up better:) I've always wanted a colored pair of jeans, but I'm afraid I can't pull it off. Lunch this weekend??

You look perfectly springy! And I think I like the rolled up look - it's like brightly colored Audrey Hepburn!

Alex said...

Oh, such a cheerful, springtime outfit. I'm very jealous as I'm currently huddling in many layers, plus giant scarf and armwarmers!

Fashion Insanity said...

Cute outfit!! :)

Laura Demetriou said...

I agree with the others, the rolled up look looks brilliant. I'm much too short to pull it off though, you look fab!

Chloë, Wardrobe Quarry said...

thanks for the comment. I've allways wanted coloured jeans.

Audrey Allure said...

i love the yellow, you look great wearing them both ways! i usually wear my colored jeans at the ankle, but they look nice rolled up a little - i think i'm going to try it :)

Samantha said...

Ohh yellow jeans look so cute on you! I say they look nice both ways but I'd probably prefer slightly rolled up :)

Unknown said...

loving the jeans x

Secondhand Stella said...

I love the yellow! So bright and cheery! I think they look good ankle length and also cuffed. They will look great with a white flowy top and some brown sandals in the summer :)

looky here- you're a fellow shirt tucker inner.
i think there's only 3 of us.
you're so cute! thanks for stopping by my blog way down in the desert. i'd never heard of lensbaby until you mentioned it. i'll have to get some to play with!

have an awesome day!

Unknown said...

aw thanks for the comment! hmm i would definitely wear those pants at full length. and if it's a lemon-y color like in the pictures, i would try some shades of grey with the outfit. like mix dark charcoals with soft heathers. for sure.

btw i love the red sweater/belted/cowboy boot outfit a couple posts below, you look great in red!

Those pants are so cute, and I love the color! I think I like them best at ankle lenght.

What Would a Nerd Wear said...

i totally love it, and i like the rolled up a little in the bottom picture (shows off the shoes better).
i think these springy colors are perfect for right now, too!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hey! (ckscorner.blogspot.com)
I am glad someone can get away with colored and skinny pants...neither of which I can. Got to love those thighs of mine! One day maybe...maybe!

Naomi@DesignManifest said...

ooo it looks so sunny and nice where you are... just like your outfit. So jealous!

Law Girl said...

I'm so jealous of your fabulous weather! We have tons of snow here on the east coast. Your outfit is super cute!

Jen said...

Gorgeous jeans! I'd wear them just how you have - simple and chic.

Ash Fox said...

so pretty. i love the ankle length look on you!

xo

Lisa said...

I am in the love category. You do look very springy, and the length of the pants is perfect for you.

Victoria Jin said...

i love the colors in these so much :) i own some pink jeans but i hardly wear them because they're so not me haha!

Melissa said...

Cute yellow pants! I like them rolled as well. How are you liking your hair? Still want to go shorter?

JoAnna Duncan said...

I love the yellow jeans! As to how to style them - if you're wearing them with flats I'd have them rolled down(although you do look cute with them rolled up - it depends on what look you're going for), I'd roll them up and team them with wedges or espadrilles. They'd also look great tucked into long grey boots!

Shannon King said...

Haha what a sweet husband! Those yellow pants are a breath of fresh air. xx

Morgan said...

super super cute! looks great with your blonde hair! love it!

Heart Charlie said...

Wow! I can't believe your dad picked this out for you, that is so cute!!! I really like the monochrome quality of this look, very springy, cheery, and simple, you look beautiful ;)

Unknown said...

I heart yellow. thank your for being my sunshine on a dreary, snowy, Canadian wintery day.

Rosie Unknown said...

Wow, those jeans have a great colour! I like to wear my red jeans with a top that has a small amount of red in the pattern, and I bet the yellow would look great with pink.
