Color Me... Cranberry?

Its only fitting. 

Cranberry makes me think of cold weather. Of fall. Of pretty leaves. Of cozy days and nights to come. Maybe it has something to do with cranberry being so popular around the fall and winter holidays... cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving, cranberry wreathes at Christmas... either way I love the berry and the color.


You can probably imagine my excitement when I found these beautiful cranberry colored skinnies. 


Now, listen to me when I say... I'm not really the biggest advocate of colorful pants/bottoms. I really only promote, aka love, red pants, however I think my mind was changed when I met these lovlies...

Had so many outfit ideas for these babies. Couldn't decide where to start! I expected to wear them to work first. They can definitely be dressed up with a button down, nice sweater, or blazer. Nude, black, or heels with a fun print would be fantastic with these. Boots would look great, except they hide one of the best details about these pants... the sweet little zipper up the side of each leg. 


With all these ideas going through my head when I brought them home, I was surprised when my first cranberry pant outfit was totally something I didn't even imagine. Over the weekend, I was on the hunt for an easy outfit to throw on. So I rummaged through my closet and this is what I found: cranberry skinnies, a graphic tee, and my favorite wedges.

Love the cranberry and my turquoise shoes together <3

The zipper!

Like how easily this came together.
Fun outfit for a day out.

Can't wait to try these with so many different clothing pieces! Please don't get upset if you see these pants in many future posts to come. Glad to have moved past my colorful "red pants" only phase... even though... these are sort of red. Hmmm. How about you? Do you do colorful pants? And if yes... what colors? Give me some ideas people!

 Feeling like a superhero ;) 

Cranberry pants definitely saved the day.

Keep it casual.

And simple.

I like simple. 

Visited my sis this weekend and was able to get a few photos in of a casual and, yes, simple weekend outfit. Can't go wrong with dark jeans, a white tank, wedges, and great jacket.

The Look:

Always remember that just cause you want to be comfortable
and casual, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice the class.
Choose clothing pieces that fit your body well, are
tailored, and/or are easy to pair with lots of different outfits.

I absolutely adore this jacket. Its a linen and cotton mix, and the material
is so lightweight that I can practically wear it everyday. I love that
it is a versatile piece that I'll be getting a lot of use out of; not only because
its comfortable, but because it can go with so many other things.

Love the practicality... love even more
when practicality and style go together ;)

Try a messy side ponytail to change up your look. 

Fun and simple accessories bring the everything together
and add interesting a your look as a whole.
This new ring is a favorite. I wear it EVERYDAY.

A fun little color pop is always a fantastic way to liven any outfit. 
All I have to say is... teal/turquoise shoes are the way to go!

Simple and easy... and well, you're pretty much ready to go anywhere. Look to see what simple pieces you have in your closet. Assess your pieces for structure, a great fit, and simplicity. The simpler the patterns and subtle the tones, the easier it is to mix and match with other pieces. Play around with putting your items together... and THEN look for some fun accessories to bring the whole outfit together. Any ideas or questions... shoot them my way! I'm always happy to give suggestions when I can :)
