| Pants, Top & Shoes- Thrifted; Blazer- Swapped; Necklace- Vintage; Nail Polish- Dreamer by Revlon |
I'm someone who takes a while to warm up to trends. I bought my pair of coral pants a few years ago, before coloured trousers were all the rage. I've been seeing red jeans all over the fashion blogosphere, on the streets and on the catwalks but didn't think the style would work for me. So when I found these red skinny jeans at my local thrift store for $4.99 I was pleasantly surprised by how they fit and how easily they could be incorporated into my wardrobe. Now that I've finally embraced red jeans, I hope they don't go out of style anytime soon because I'm already envisioning all sorts of different ensembles featuring my new find!
I call this look 'nautical
Navy blue striped top- $4.99 (thrifted)
Navy blue pinstripe blazer- free (swapped)
Red jeans- $4.99 (thrifted)
Grey heels- $15.99 (consigned)
Silver spoon necklace- $19.99 (vintage)
My sister was behind the lens for this photoshoot and captured my improving balancing skills (thanks to Body Flow) as I was trying to put my boots back on without my bare foot touching the snow!

how come i can't find cute skinny jeans or any decent pants that fit my 61 inches at the thrift store? i like the yellow belt with the balancing acrobatics. the outfit looks good with the heels or boots. oh, & are you gonna share the name & brand of that blue nail polish? i want.
ReplyDeleteVery cute look. And you impress us with your acrobatic skill!
ReplyDeleteI love your nautical cheap look! The red skinny jeans are great! I am apprehensive about wearing them myself though, but maybe I would love it if I tryed it! The necklace is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe nautical look is lovely! It shows that you can dress well even on a budget :) I have a nailpolish just like yours!
ReplyDeleteAww I love the stripes with the red pants. And I can't believe you are outside changing shoes!
ReplyDeleteI was just checking out a pair of red pants today.. but got something else, something more summery :P anyway, those look superb on you and I like the stripes too! oh, and the cool necklace!

What $4.99? That's awesome, I'm so jealous. The red skinny jeans I want are $150... which is why I haven't bought them hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit. Also, red pants are AWESOME. I just thrifted a pair of burgundy cords for between $3-$4. I'm so pleased I finally found them!
ReplyDeletewhoa, Emily! that balancing photo shows off your skillz! with a Z. I love that spoon necklace, by the way. It's so unique!

Emily,
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! You look amazing. I definitely think the colored pants are staying for a while. Lately, I have been seeing pastel colors like we saw last spring with the pink jean fad and everything, but the bold colors won't leave us anytime soon... at least, I hope not! I love them so much! Even if it's just you and I wearing them until we wear ours out... haha It's all I've been wearing lately. I honestly can't remember the last time I had plain jeans on. I find them so easy to style--they work with simple basics. Anyway you look gorgeous! I love your outfit!

Even if they do go out of style, it's not a big deal because you only paid $4.99 for the jeans! I should go thrifting and try to find some for myself... hope you're having a good time with your sister!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to get some red jeans, I have red dress pants but have been really considering the denim version. Great job in thrifting those. They're amazing on you! Also, that vintage silver spoon necklace rocks. :) This look is cheap chic at it's finest!

Cute outfit. I just got some pink jeans.
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you Emily. You are wearing those jeans girl! Fantastic find. Great balancing skills too. If I could make every outfit nautical I would, maybe I was married to Christopher Columbus in a past life. You look adorable!! Dawn Suitcase Vinnettes xo
ReplyDeletei don't think red jeans will be going out anytime soon, and there are so many possibilities. I love that you've played up the nautical aspect!
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
I'm jealous of your $4.00 jeans! You look so cute and they do work so well with your wardrobe! I love the change of the shoes!

I really like the whole red pants trend, skinny, flared, high-waisted etc, they're all great. you lucked out wiht your thrift find 4.99! I'm still looking for a pair, I want a pair that are flared but haven't had much luck though I've seen them on a few blogs.
ReplyDeleteI think an Ottawa blogger thingy/meetup/night is a great idea.

Haha, who knew style blogging was such a good workout?
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that your entire outfit cost less than $50. Everything looks great together. I have a few nautical pieces in my wardrobe too, but I could use some red jeans.
Hahaha!! That's some good balance there. =) I got myself a pair of red jeans and they turned out to be too big. So, now I'm back on the hunt for a pair!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the nails!
ReplyDelete$4.99, that is awesome for those cute red jeans! They look fantastic on you! I really hope they don't go out of style anytime soon either, because I wear the heck out of mine!
ReplyDeleteOooh I like what you did with the blazer. I think more fun than getting clothes at a swap, is seeing how others wear your old stuff. I can't believe you thrifted those red jeans. THey fit you like a glove and look like more expensive than the $5 you paid!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect outfit, those shoes are something I probably wouldn't go for if I saw them on the shelf at a store but they look incredible on you and I would be kicking my own butt if I ever passed them up! Xo Lori
