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.
