colored skinny jeans – The Sol Compass

The (Colored) Skinny

Colored jeans and a neutral top is one of my go to looks for late summer nights out. It’s easy to throw on a denim jacket when it gets colder, but the tank top will keep me cooler if the place I’m at has already turned their AC off for the year. Also, if we could just take this moment to express my profound disappoint that colored skinny jeans are no longer easily accessible and start campaigning that they start being made in truck loads again, that would be great. They are so perfect to make a fun statement when you still want to be wearing jeans, I honestly don’t understand why anyone would ever want to give up wearing them.

Stripes if by Sea

I am definitely happiest when outside, and more specifically by the sea. When my sister and I went down to the ocean I instantly morphed into a more playful and giggly person (which may not have been ideal for the picture taking, but alas). My seaside uniform usually involves navy, stripes, and boat shoes. They are the epitome of nautical style, but the pink jeans add a more spring vibe to the look than a traditional red or white might allow. Plus, these are the prettiest and most comfortable pants ever. I think I would try to wear them every day all spring long if, you know, people wouldn’t notice…

Weekend Stripes

Finally- May’s first weekend is here! I’m celebrating by spending a weekend out exploring the North Shore with my sister in some bright orange jeans. A day by the water (even if it’s not quite summer weather yet) always calls for a straw tote, in my book! It’s always important for me to wear comfortable shoes when I’m out doing some weekend exploring so that I can keep walking comfortably all day long, and if the opportunity to climb some rocks by the water arises, I’m prepared for it!

Do any of you have any exciting plans for this weekend? Maybe a Derby Party or some spring adventures? I’d love to hear about them in the comments section!
