I've been craving a pair of colored jeans, preferably red, but haven't found the perfect pair. I keep thinking that one will fall into my lap once fall items start to get clearance priced, but so far that hasn't happened. I'm looking at two possibilities online right now:

red jeans from Chico's - good points are they're available in tall and in the red I want, bad points are that Chico's jeans are often too high waisted on me

AT colored jeans - not available in a red but in a hot pink in regular, or a purple-y if I get tall (don't really need tall in AT for wearing with flats, but I could hem). I know these will fit because the AT curvy cut works well for me. Do you think the hot pink could be as versatile as the red?

Also, if I go for the Chico's pair, I might buy a shell to qualify for free shipping - Mia tank. I'm tempted by the pink but it occurs to me that the gold might be really useful, although I'm not sure it's my color.
