When someone dares me to do something, I pretty much have to take the dare. My uber-competitive tendencies (a la Monica on Friends) could explain why I've been participating in a lot of outfit challenges lately. I did one with TJ Maxx, one with Express, one with LOFT coming up and today's challenge is from the website DailyBuzz Style. They asked a group of bloggers to style an outfit with brightly colored pants for fall. Which was all the motivation I needed to finally pick up some cobalt skinnies (have been on my wish list for awhile) and style a kick-butt outfit with them. Cobalt is definitely one of my favorite colors this fall so I plan to wear them often, and stay tuned to see the how the other blogger's did it on Tuesday! Tell me - are you trying the bright pants trend this fall? Which color will you wear?

Hi, I love the outfit you look adorable! I am rocking hot pink skinnies this fall and loving them! And I got the best deal on them-$16 at Filene's Basement about a month and a half ago!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit!! I'm wearing red skinnies. Red near my face washes me out so I'm trying the color on my lower half because I think this color is perfect for fall!
ReplyDeleteI'm going for red, too. I just ordered my pair last week and can't wait for them to arrive!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! I wore my cobalt blue skinnies out last night for the first time with an Express graphic tee, black faux leather jacket and black pumps! I have a red pair as well which I haven't worn yet!
ReplyDeleteKatie, definitely planning to wear these with a graphic tee at some point, I love that look!
ReplyDeleteThat is the smart way to do it! I will definitely be wearing my red skinnies this year too.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous! I want hot pink skinnies or skirt SO bad! Will keep hunting. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE cobalt skinnies. I've been meaning to pick them up myself! The white blazer is perfect with those pants!
ReplyDeletelove those skinnies!

love it. i want to find some red ones! Do you think the colored skinny look is too YOUNG for a 32 year Mom though? I"m still not sure :)
ReplyDeleteNot even a little bit too young. Just don't wear them with a graphic tee and neon sneakers and you will be fine. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat look, J! I'm in need of a white blazer. I see it's a must have.
ReplyDeleteSarah over at The Daily Sophisticate recently made a post about transitioning her cobalt blue skinnies to fall, too!
ReplyDeleteLove that white blazer! I'm currently writing this comment while wearing salmon pink skinnies...more of a spring color, but it was warmer out today so I went with it. I also have red ones that I haven't worn yet. Express has a lot of good colors and they are super flattering, I'm just debating on whether I can justify buying the cobalt ones!
ReplyDeleteLOVE anything cobalt! I have been looking for a pair of kelly green skinnies, any advice on where to find an inexpensive or reasonably priced pair? And by reasonably priced I'm thinking no more than $50.00 or so.
ReplyDeleteJC Penny had cute skinnies on sale last week for around $15.00. I bought bright yellow, purple, and azalea pink. Not sure which color I will keep -- probably the pink. Haven't decided how to wear them either. Definitely giving them more of a conservative look.
ReplyDeleteI just got some colbalt skinnies and had no idea what to do with them! Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about getting these from AE... do you think they run true to size?
ReplyDeletei went to t.j. maxx and purchased a pair of colbat skinnies just because of this post! i'm super excited to wear them!
ReplyDeleteJ would you know the model of your shoes? I have the same pair in an 8.5 and I would like to sell them on e-bay.
ReplyDeleteHello J. I have the same pair of shoes in an 8.5. I would like to sell mine but I just dont remember the model details. Would you know the details on them?
ReplyDeleteAlexandra, I believe the style name is Geringer. Post a link on my Facebook page when you sell them, I'm sure one of my readers would be interested!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I think American Eagle runs a size small across the board. I wear a size 2 at Gap, Abercrombie, F21, but at American Eagle I always get a 4! :-)
ReplyDeleteI want pink ones too! I will check out JcPenney, thank you!!
ReplyDeletelove love love this outfit! one of my absolute favs!
ReplyDeleteHow funny - I just picked up cobalt skinnies a couple wks ago too!! I love them with the gray and white - seems to tone them down a notch! Just might have to steal this idea!! :)

Love those jeans! Unfortunately, I look terrible in skinny jeans. My legs are too muscular for them! Ha ha.

Ahh I have a pair of berry colored skinnies but have been lusting over some colbalt ones for a while- now I think I need to just get them! I would never have thought to look at American Eagle but I just might have to make a little trip over there!
ReplyDeleteI love the look although I'm not sure I'd say the pants are that bright. You look amazing though - good job.x
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm a total Monica too!
I would love to purchase those heels from your, please email me the details at swipf09@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think I need to get myself some cobalt pants))

I was just at Nordstroms and tried a pair of blue cobalt ones on from the Brass Plum section. They were under $50. Just have to find a cute top to wear with them that doesn't make me look like a teeny bopper!!
