WANT: BDG Ankle Cigarette Mid-Rise Jeans

Since I can't afford the J Brand or Rag & Bone colored jeans I want, I opted for the cheaper version (at $58): BDG Ankle Cigarette Mid-Rise Jeans. I picked this specific style because they fit me really well -- I had bought a pair of hot pink jeans at Zara but they don't fit as perfectly as these. These BDG jeans have just the right amount of stretchy and aren't long enough that I need to fold the bottoms or hem them (Since I'm 5'4, I have to buy the "ankle" jeans and they are still just a little bit too long and scrunchy at the bottom on my legs!). I bought myself the red ones (seen in an outfit post here), Ryan gave me the green ones for my birthday, and I still want the tan and blue ones!

Which color would you pick?

What I Wore: 9.5.11

Since yesterday was one of my last days of freedom until classes officially start, I made the most of it by redeeming all these coupons/loyalty points/etc... that I have at various stores. At least, that is "making the most of a day" for me... don't judge. I got some free MAC eyeshadow (in "Smut") at their pro store through Back to MAC (post coming on that tomorrow), free moss green eyeliner and cotton squares at ULTA, and some other free goodies at Sephora. I hope I have accomplished my summer goal of being an extreme couponer -- inspired by the TLC show, of course! I mean, I got these J Brand pants I'm wearing in my monochromatic look below for $40 at Last Call by Neiman Marcus during their Labor Day sale. Holla!

Trend Watch: Colored Jeans

Color blocking -- be it with bright tops or bold bottoms -- is incredibly popular right now (and always, really... but alas, it's a buzz phrase at the moment). Regardless of whether that's your desired look, colored jeans are a great way to incorporate a ton of color into your outfit. Check out J Brand's selection of crazy, bright colors that are sure to catch some looks. My J Brand favorites are (in order): pink, purple, orange, red, and royal blue. The rest would make me feel like a walking Easter egg, which is a look I can only imagine myself desiring on a sad, uncreative Halloween night.

What do you think... could you rock some bright ass, attention grabbing jeans like these?
