Happy first day of Spring! We’ve had the puniest of Winters, but I’m still ready to ditch the black tights in favor of lighter fabrics and brighter colors. I’ve fought the trend so far, but I think this year I’ll take the leap in to the world of colored pants.
They are literally everywhere and at every price point, from Forever 21 and Old Navy, to J.Crew and Express. Since I’m not sure how colored jeans and I will get along, I’ll probably start with an inexpensive pair. And while my closet is full of bright colors, and I don’t shy away from mixing vibrant hues and patterns, for some reason I feel like taking baby steps with this trend.
Pairing the pants with a neutral top, like black, white, gray or navy, will tone them down.

The next step to adding more color could be a bright scarf. I like how this cutie balances out the green pants on bottom with a colorful scarf on top.

I have a regular 8-5 job, so I have to walk a fine line between creative fun, and business appropriate. These pretty ladies transitioned bright pants for the workplace perfectly!

Eventually I hope to work up the nerve for bright on bright! So fun!
Somehow I know my favorite look will be pairing them with stripes.

If a proper princess is doing it, so can we!

So what do you think…have you taken the leap in to colored pants and jeans, or do you plan to this Spring?
