This was an interesting thread to read. IK makes a good point, it's up to the individual to decide how long they want to wear something and if it goes against the status quo, so be it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685721 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:23:41 +0000 Lisa 685721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy I hope colored denim is still "in." I just picked up my first pair this weekend and they are quite green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685693 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:36:50 +0000 ironkurtin 685693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's right, AG, a bloom is a girls most precious possession! Hold on to it tightly!</p> <p>And if you are feeling naughty:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8FfFwtL91Q" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8FfFwtL91Q</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685680 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:22:52 +0000 catgirl 685680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the risk of sounding obscene, it would take a lot to bust my bloom! MWAH back at ya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685676 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:21:15 +0000 ironkurtin 685676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, so glad you are not offended, it was not aimed at YOU personally. It was more about, hm, why is this making ME bristle? (As a former boss liked to say, It's all about me, you know!) I would hate to think you or anyone else had their bloom busted because "we" turned into some kind of mean-girl clique and dissed someone else's dream outfit.</p> <p>You're a doll and I adore you. MWAH. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685648 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 18:49:14 +0000 catgirl 685648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, I debated whether to be offended, but it's Sunday morning and I'm just too lazy. ;-P Plus I get what you're saying, so I'll address the underlying issue. </p> <p>I do care what people here think and what the reasons are. Of course, I'm not going to stop wearing something I truly love because the forum disapproves (Uggs), but I'm interested in the opinions of people whose knowledge and taste I respect. I live in a place where trends are pretty secondary and often irrelevant, and I like to know what's going on out there in the larger world of fashion. </p> <p>Ultimately I make my own choices but like any other decision I first take into consideration a variety of factors. Even though I dress to please myself, I'd like to do the best job I can of doing that, and this forum is such a great place to get lots of diverse feedback that helps me gauge my own imperfect visions and biases.</p> <p>I'm especially interested in certain trends right now that really suit me (oversized, hi-low, bright colors) that have not been around in a long time and whether I should be stocking up for the future lest they disappear before I can take full advantage. I can't believe I survived years of low rise jeans and shoulder pads and ditzy florals and empire waists, and I don't intend to live through another dry spell without some serious wardrobe ammo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685644 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 18:43:31 +0000 MsMary 685644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just assumed Una was using the "royal 'we'!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685619 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:48:25 +0000 ironkurtin 685619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, something about the title of this thread really bugged me, and I think I have figured it out.</p> <p>Who is "we"?</p> <p>And, do any of "us" really care if "everyone else" is "over" something?</p> <p>I'm sure this is going to offend someone, and I am sorry if it does, but I hate the idea of fashion being a massive sheep herd where "we" all march in lockstep to some external dictate of what is "over." It's like living in T.S. Eliot's world where he wonders if he dares to eat a peach. If you like it, wear it, and everyone else can smooch your joyfully self-pleasing butt, I say!</p> <p>I plan to wear my colored pants until I am sick of them, something bad happens to them, or they look weird *to me,* even if the rest of "us" are all sporting paisley palazzos.</p> <p>And yes, I did recently post asking if Marc Jacobs was "over." That was less of a, Oh no, should I stop wearing MJ?" And more of a, "Oh no, does everyone not like MJ's jackets *as much as I do*?" Because if something suits me, I've never stopped wearing it, even if the rest of the world has marched on.</p> <p>Ag, I know 100% that you didn't set out to set me off, so don't mind me. It's like the word jeggings - that makes me froth too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685614 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:34:17 +0000 christieanne 685614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought burgundy and emerald green. The green may go back though (I have black from same brand - pretty cheap from Target and I think they shrunk) but I will be sporting lots of colored denim this Fall. I like my bright pink and could see wearing a red pair if I could find the right ones.<br /> Big trend that continues in stores for sure but now the addition of ore prints and textures (waxed fabrics, shiny metallic denim,etc.) is pretty big too. </p> <p>Wear what you love I say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim/page/2#post-685611 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:25:39 +0000 christy 685611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because I don't wear jeans very often, I have not purchased any colored denim. However, I have cobalt cropped trousers and now an emerald green skirt, so hopefully colored "bottoms" in general are still on trend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685527 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 15:04:40 +0000 cheryl 685527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love mine. I have five pair of colored bootlegs. Red, fuchsia, aqua, neon lime and grape and I wear them now and I will wear them all winter just with darker tops/sweaters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685395 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 09:07:41 +0000 Mona 685395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love coloured denim. Although, at this point I only own one pair of deep red denim but I would love to add more if my budget allows. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685378 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 05:49:45 +0000 rae 685378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was never under it - closest I have is gray. But I would not be against a burgundy pair, and I do still like the look on others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685352 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 04:41:43 +0000 Deborah 685352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will know when Spring hits but I expect I am still going to wear mine. I have cobalt and red. I don't know if I will add to my collection but I am a little keen on finding a pair of green ones. Clearly we are behind the US so colored skinnies seem to only now be coming into their own here in Aus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685348 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 04:33:32 +0000 Anonymous 685348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope! I bought a bright cerulean pair this spring and I have yet to wear them. I've got my whole outfit all figured out so colored denim better still be in for fall. Lol, around here, they are probably just figuring it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685313 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 03:50:38 +0000 Isabel 685313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, while at the grocery store and looking through magazines, I saw that colored denim was one of the top 10 "trends" for the Fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685298 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 03:26:22 +0000 Kari 685298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still don't have any and don't plan on buying any, but still love it on others. My sister wore cobalt cropped skinnies the other day and looked absolutely amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685271 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 02:54:28 +0000 Sheila 685271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope not! Though I wear only blue, black and white denim, I have a pair of kelly green cropped chinos that I LOVE and they are not going anywhere!!! (and if I could have found this color in my size in DENIM, I would have bought them, too) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685184 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:50:19 +0000 ironkurtin 685184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NO, not according to Instyle and other mags. I think certain colors may peak, that's all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685181 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:42:25 +0000 Marley 685181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not over them - but, am thinking about different ways to wear them this fall and winter. So far, haven't come up with anything different than the same-old-same-old! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685180 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:38:54 +0000 Suz 685180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never got on this bandwagon yet, so I am delighted that my new coated jeans are a sort of burgundy colour! I actually love the look and will wear it this fall. But my basics will always be blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685158 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:00:45 +0000 Glory 685158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look but dont have any. Keep wearing them i say </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685145 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 22:48:40 +0000 MsMary 685145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still feel the love! My mustard and aqua skinnies are still in heavy rotation, although in hot weather they don't get out as much as when it's cooler. Unfortunately my red and green skinnies (super cheap from eBay) shrank in the wash and now belong to Vicki! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685140 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 22:32:45 +0000 Mo 685140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my red ones and plan to wear them once it cools enough. I always will don white, in or not, and bought merlot cords for the coming winter. Guess I'm into what I consider 'my colors' in denim </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685124 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:50:06 +0000 Echo 685124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was out today and noticed them featured in at least two stores. They are still big and will still be big for fall, so don't worry. You will have plenty of time to wear them before the trend dies down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685123 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:47:48 +0000 citygirldc 685123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just getting started but then I'm always late with the trends. I guess i need to find me a pair of colored denims that make me look skinny. LOL!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685122 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:47:07 +0000 Anonymous 685122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering the same as I noticed Angie's post a few days ago. I actually have been sporting a pair of teal ones quite often this summer and I finally got cobalt, as the only brand I can fit into length wise these days came up with a few new colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685115 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:38:58 +0000 jayne 685115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only bought cobalt and orange...the orange didn't make me happy in fit so they are donated already but I am still happy with cobalt for fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685102 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:18:57 +0000 catgirl 685102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually have a burgundy pair from F21 from last winter! Who knew it would be the in color?! I'm not adding any more colors, but I think I'm up to six pairs: yellow, cobalt, burgundy, red, emerald and chartreuse. Eek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-we-over-colored-denim#post-685099 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:17:43 +0000 CocoLion 685099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My red, yellow and green skinnies were inexpensive. The yellow ones shrank after first wash so are basically, unwearable. I am putting the yellow ones in the purge pile. I will probably still wear the red pair this winter, not sure about the green ones.</p> <p>I have plum, burgundy, and cobalt jeans that I paid more for and will still wear this coming a/w. You still see new ones coming out in the plum and burgundy families from premium denim lines like 7 and J brand. I have to think of how to refresh the cobalt pair and it has crossed my mind to dye them teal.</p> <p>So yes, I still plan on wearing colored jeans as they are a fun trend. I probably will not join the printed trend as it just doesn't look good on me.</p> <p>I am still a big fan of the tuxedo trend as it flatters me more than printed jeans do. </p>
