I’m not singing the blues as Vancouver’s glorious summer weather as finally arrived. To celebrate, I decided to make denim shorts. It’s time to bare these pale legs of mine. I had posted a comment on Twitter a while back asking if I was too old to be wearing denim cut off shorts. I got some great responses back saying that “age is just a number” and that “if you still got it, rock it”. However, I still think you have to be “age appropriate” when you are wearing your shorts, (no butt cheeks hanging out for me please).

I found this great post from the Glamourai on D.I.Y. denim shorts and I thought it was so timely. It really helped me on the “cutting side” of things. So, I just

Alright, so the last time I wore a pair of colored jeans I was probably 15 years old and they are back in full force for summer! This is one trend I am thrilled to see return as I think there is never any harm with a bit of boldness in our lives. Easily paired with blouses, t-shirts and blazers, colored jeans are a fun and bold way to make a statement. Colored jeans are offered in several price ranges but I personally think since it is a fad, you should go in on lower price point. Here are a few brands to choose from:

J-Brand Yellow Jeans $175.00, www.shopbop.com

BDG Red Skinny’s $59.00, www.urbanoutfitters.com

Skinny Green Stretch $59.90, www.zara.com

Go on, live a little and let down your hair and get rainbow bright
