Jeans come in different sizes, textures, patterns, and most importantly colors. The trend of colored jeans has certainly been around for a while but surprisingly it is still going strong. Along with some of the spring trends, bright colors are certainly coming back in full force. So let’s spruce up that wardrobe of yours and do a little revamping by incorporating colored jeans!

I’ll admit when I saw the plethora of different colors in pants I was horrified. I couldn’t betray my black skinny jeans or dark washed jeans because they were my go to for everything! Plus the colors were quite intimidating as I didn’t know how to style them. But since this trend has been around for some time I’ve been able to gain a bit of knowledge as to how to style them; bold colors and all!

Call it a girl crush but I absolutely adore Zoe Kratiz. She’s edgy, talented, and certainly creates her own image. Zoe is the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bona but she’s definitely an independent woman. With her band Elevator Fight and starring in the latest movie X-Men: First Class, Zoe is clearly doing what she loves and certainly looks great doing. Her sense of fashion is to die for and I certainly cannot get enough of it. Her style is more laidback and a bit on the wild side. I can’t remember when I first saw Zoe but her style is what caught my eye indeed especially at Coachella. Accompanied by her boyfriend, Penn Badgely, she wore high wasted shorts with a fringe white midriff top, simple black shoes with red glasses. It’s an effortless outfit that can inspire you to create a look similar or try something new.

Every so often I will come across a blog that is so innovative and inspiring I must tell someone about it! A friend of mine showed me this blog called thegoodwillproject.com. She usually shows me blogs or links and with me being busy I glance at it but will look at it in my spare time. Not this blog, I looked at it and realized what it was and it was probably one of the coolest sites I have seen this year!

Essentially two young women have taken on the challenge of incorporating one article of clothing into their wardrobe from a Goodwill thrift store. This can be quite a challenge to those who don’t wear thrift store clothes but this is an excellent opportunity to do so and just jump in with these women. After going through their outfits I applaud them for this because I am such a strong advocate of thrift store shopping.  But more so, just to try new things as it forces you to think differently about how you put your clothes together. Plus it’s a bit cheaper if you are looking for other ways to save money. So if you’re already iffy or doubtful about trying thrift store clothes look to these women for inspiration. Just give it a try!

Let’s spruce up your wardrobe a bit and incorporate some items you might not normally wear to class. Lately our weather has been indecisive and unable to make up its mind about whether to be consecutively hot or cold.  It makes a girl’s job ten times harder before getting ready for class. So let’s make life a little easier! I have a friend who is a big advocator of not wearing pants, odd right? No way she explained to me that pants are too constricting, which is a good point. At first I rejected this notion as skinny jeans are essential within my wardrobe. But every time I saw her she had the cutest dresses on and she looked so carefree and adorable. It got me to thinking maybe she was right about dresses. Weather permitting, casual dresses are going to be my go to outfit!
