Searching For the Perfect Red Denim
We've all seen the pop-of-color denim in magazines and stores right now, and I've become a little obsessed with finding a pair of classic red ones. I'm definitely going to still keep an eye out for a hot pink and maybe blue, but red is my current project. I'm still trying to decide if I want a jegging, skinny, cropped, or what... so here are the findings from my journey....
Tory Burch - Slim Cropped Denim - $175
Michael Kors - Colored Skinny Jeans - $79.50
American Eagle - Jeggings - $44.50
Express - Zelda Jean Legging - $79.90
Forever 21 - Fitted Skinny Jean - $15.50
Tory Burch - Slim Cropped Denim - $175
When I saw these, I HAD to HAVE them. And once I got them, I loved them, but I didn't LOVE them. {aka: I didn't $175-love-them} I've found that, while I think Tory's clothing is adorable, her denim fits me a little 'big' or 'baggy' in the tummy/crotch area which I don't like. The waistline is a nice mid-rise that is pretty flattering and the bottoms are a little baby-bell-bottom, which is cute and a little more mature, IMO. I really like the emblem-embroidered back pockets, too. Alas, these went back.... I just didn't feel like I would get enough wears out of these in the red color to make it worth the price.... and the loose crotch area was the final deciding factor.
Michael Kors - Colored Skinny Jeans - $79.50
I haven't gotten these yet - still waiting on them to be shipped. I love the gold tone accents and the fact that they are skinny and could potentially be hemmed to be cropped... I'll have to look into that! I ordered these in the bright pink, as well... I'll keep you posted once they come in. I'm very hopeful these will work out!
American Eagle - Jeggings - $44.50
Not as cute in person as online, but a good choice if you like low-cut and are younger. I would size up in these personally.
Express - Zelda Jean Legging - $79.90
These do not work for me - WAY too low cut! I also feel like they are a little overpriced, but you can get deals at Express. Love the style, but this would have worked much better for me ten years ago!
Forever 21 - Fitted Skinny Jean - $15.50
These come in a million colors and you may want to size down. I'm typically a 27 and got a 26 in these. For the price... I ended up keeping these in the green and red and MAY still go back and get the green ones! Will they last as long as the others? Maybe not, but you can't beat the price!
Are there any pop-of-color jeans you've discovered an love? I've seen some cute ones from J.Brand, Joe's, J.Crew, 7 For All Mankind, etc... and I've love to hear which ones you've found and LOVE! Thanks for stopping by...

Tory Burch Metallic Reva - Rose Gold
I am on a mission to find one (pooooosssssibblly 2) pairs of Reva flats, as flats seem to be the only thing feeling good for me lately! I have 3 to choose from (that I'll be posting pics of in the next couple of days) but I decided to start with the one that is definitely going back!
Metallic Reva Ballet Flats in Rose Gold - $198
Where to start? First, the color of these puppies is not well represented in the Sak's picture or on my feet. It should be called "New Copper Penny". Holy crap! They are almost orange! I about died when I opened the box! The sales lady in the shoe department who processed the return for me looked shocked when she opened the box, too! haha!
Now, I wouldn't mind having a shiny gold color, but this was NOT it! Also, I am generally a size 7, rarely a 6.5 or 7.5, but I ordered a 7.5 in these based on the Saks.com website recommendation. I would definitely have needed to try an 8 in these to even make them work. My toe was super-jammed up against the front on the shoe.... so buyer beware on these, size up again from your regular TB size!!
What DID I like about these? I do like shoes that stand out... and these certainly would! Also, I like the idea of the leather medallion instead of the metal one.... it might be lighter and more comfortable.
Bottom Line: Ugly color, classic style. Not the most comfy leather either, combined with the fact that it runs very small! Returned
FYI: Word on the street is that Sak's Friends and Family Sale starts next week... keep an eye out for that. As with most F&F sales, it's probably a good time to get discounts on rarely discounted brands!
