Block me... Better late than never

I've never tried the color blocking trend. No need to say it!! I know I'm late for this. The only time I color blocked, was with my FANTABULOUS Old Navy striped dress, and that was sort of cheating. All the work was done for me, and I wasn't even trying! Also, I've never tried colored jeans.

While reading one of my favorite blogs, Rocquelle of Consider Me Lovely did a post rocking her colored jeans and asked her readers, "Are you into colored denim?" I've seen them all around, and I thought they looked nice one everyone else. I must admit that I was a little intimidated by colored denim due to my more robust bottom half. I basically thought I would have to sit this trend out. =(

This is one of the reasons why I love blogging! I'm able to grab style inspiration from others. Real women, with real style.  Because of Rocquelle's question, I wanted to try the colored denim for myself. And here you have it... Both things that I have never tried going on in this post, AND I like it!!

 Until next time...

    Go Ticka, you look great! Blue is my color and those jeans look great on you. I purchased some blue jeans over the holiday and I have yet to wear them...you make me wanna break out those bad boys today!

    Colorblocking has got to be my most favorite fashion trend and I'm so glad it isn't going anywhere just yet...not that I care anyway...lol

    Again, you look fantabulous!!!

    Ticka!!! You look fabulous!!! I am so honored that I inspired you! I tried buying colored jeans at Old Navy, but they didn't look this good on me, and I love the pink sweater. Yay for color blocking!

    Shantika, the colors you chose were perfect!

    Re: the color blocking trend, it's funny! As a kid that was how I would dress--solid colors, minimal prints. It's funny how trends are cyclical they keep returning.

    Quick question, I hope you can answer me. Are the Old Navy cobalt blue pants stretch from the top? I'm big on my stomach area and I need pants that are stretchy from the top area to avoid a muffin effect :P I read they were like jeggings, but I just want to make sure before I ordered them.

    Also, did you alter them from the ankle area? I heard they came big from there...

    I really hope you can help. I hateeee ordering online but I'm willing to take the risk for this color jeans :-)

      Hi Ale... To be perfectly honest, these jeans/jeggings (the Rock Star line) do not have a lot of stretch in them.You may have to go up a size with this particular brand. For example, if a person is usually a size 16, but can sometimes wear an 18, I would suggest going with the 18.

      As far as the ankle part, I did no altering. They fit me fine there.

    I love this color palette.. Very cute... You make me want to go out and get some colored skinny jeans, although skinny jeans never fit me because of my calves (thank god for jeggings!)...but anyway, back to you, very cute outfit indeed. Love this combination together...!!

    The color combination is sublime, and I love the peek of tan going on under the sweater. A burst of sunshine in the winter time. You look so pretty here!!
