My Attempt at Fashion: Lime Jeans THREE WAYS!
You guys, holy whoaly moly. I had NO idea I’d get the kind of response that I got from yesterday’s post. I got SO many comments on my blog post, messages, emails, Facebook, text messages, etc. Seriously. I was CRAZY humbled by the response from yesterday’s post. If you haven’t read it yet, you can check it out here. I’d love to hear your thoughts. And I’d love to encourage you. In some way or another.
In any event, today’s post is all about LIME JEANS.
Erry’one and their uncle is wearing colored jeans this season. I’ve had a REALLY hard time finding colored jeans in my size – because apparently ALL colored jeans fit like a second skin. Or something. But seriously. I’m STILL on a hunt for RED and COBALT jeans that fit me. But I was in Target last month and found these LIME jeans that were WAY bigger than my normal size, so I tried them on and I loved them!
Now, I usually wear a 10/12 and these are a 15 in Target pants if that gives you ANY idea of how they fit. They’re $22.99 regularly priced but I had a Mossimo clothing coupon and got them for $17.50! I was pretty pumped.
SO yeah, I’ve fallen in love with my LIME jeans and wish I could find the same fit in RED and COBALT. I’m trying. Also, I want pink. Heck, I want a rainbow of colors. I had to just ignore the size tag and realize not all jeans fit the same. It goes back to what I was talking about yesterday. Ignore the number. Wear what FITS you, not what you think SHOULD fit you.
SO, here are my LIME jeans worn three ways!
[WAY NUMBER ONE: LIME AND PINK AND DENIM!]

That pink shirt is adorable. I feel that I’m too pale to pull off neon bottoms or even pale ones. I tried on a mint pair of jeans at Target yesterday and it was a big WOMP, WOMP. Your jeans look great!!!
thanks, jamie! you are so sweet.
Look at you and your trendy colored jeans. I am still on the hunt for the perfect pair of red ones!
IKNOWRIGHT? i’m trying!! and yes! i want red ones, too!!

thank you SO much yi-chia!! i’m kinda biased to the fuchsia look too!!
Yeah .. CUTE on you … I’m not that brave yet! 😉
you can do it, girl!!!
I adore the look with the jean jacket, Molly! I have these same Target jeans (but in emerald green) and I was pleasantly surprised that they actually fit me since Target jeans usually run big. Clearly they were not vanity sized! Have a great time at the Dave concert!

thanks, sharon!!! i actually really like these target jeans, too!
LOVE LOVE these jeans!! I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who had to try on many sizes bigger with Target’s skinny jeans!! they look great on you!
thanks, katie!!! yeah target’s pants run WAY small
Hey girl, you are totally rockin’ those lime green pants! I have yet to get that color, but now I just may have to! And yes, Target jeans run so small! Kind of makes me mad. 🙂
Oh, and to answer your question about the sewing machine. I would recommend something around $100. I found my Singer at Costco. It’s a great one to start out on, and still an actually good machine! Hope that helps!
thanks lindsay!! they run SO small – what up with that?! and thank you for the sewing machine suggestion!!!
No. 2 is my absolute fave! HOT!
thank you so much!!
i’ve had my eyes on some cute minty cropped jeans at anthro and they just went on sale…
have fun at DMB!
YESSS sale at anthro!!! thanks girl!
They are all such cute looks Molly – but number 1 is my FAVE! The flower on the jean jacket is so fun 🙂

thank you, annie! i thought so, too!!
Those pants are SOOOO CUTE!! I really want some mint jorts! I haven’t found any that I like though. Also, if it’s any consolation, I feel like all Target pants are SUPER SMALL. I just don’t look at the sizes there at all lol.
thanks, girl! MINT JORTS YESS!!
