I’m guest posting over at Harper’s Happenings today about my slight obsession with colored jeans and I plead the case for you to also buy 10+ pairs. It’s a strong case, I promise.

Each month I create monthly capsules out of my favorite pieces, perfectly curated for each month.
You'll be happy to know I bought three pairs of colored jeans this summer, mostly because of how your posts made me realize the many different ways to wear them.
Pretty much no one in my city is wearing colored jeans!! It took me a long time to be brave enough to wear them but I finally did it. I said to myself "Self, if Kendi can do it, you can do it too". And you are right, they do make you feel happy and they do get noticed 🙂
I've said it before and I'll say it again…no one rocks colored jeans as well as you do, Miss Kendi! I just bought a pair of mint ones…can't wait to wear my … what did you call them, crayon legs? 🙂
I wish! I've got a small waist and a Latin bootie. The only jeans that fit me well are Lucky and they are $$$$. I can't find anything that works for me in color. Please enjoy them for me!!
Hey, Kendi! Guess what? I'm into colored jeans, too! But, as you showed here, I consider it takes a serious style sense to make them look fresh and chic among the sea of pedestrian looks. Bravo!! XOXO, María José http://nuarbarcat.blogspot.com.ar/
I don't own any colored denim, but you seem to be making a strong case for me to purchase at least one pair! I just did a post on my blog with a photoshoot I did in Griffith Park. Lots of vintage and fun dresses, take a look, I hope you like it! http://www.prettylittlefawn.blogspot.com
I own one colored jeans and when I started reading your blog, I got 3 more and got the "It girl" lipstick. Yes, you have made me brave enough to wear colored pants and bright lipstick! I love your style!
Loved each outfit. the colors will take you from season to season.! I linked your blogsite to my Bloglove page on my blog http://www.dayinthelifeofm.blogspot.ca so my friends can get great outfit ideas.
Love all the colors! Like a bag of skittles! I didn't realize it but I have a probably about 6 pairs of colored jeans/capris. I have 2 winter ones that are dying to come out & play.
I'm ashamed to say that I don't own a pair. I was near tears (ok, not really) when I realized that I may have missed the boat, but looks like their making a come back in the stores for fall. I saw some at Gap- but where else can I find some? Please make some recommendations please. And what do you think of corduroy colored jeans for fall??
I still need to get a pair! I'm thinking I want red. Nice and bold! You really know how to rock the trend so I can completely understand your obsession!
Oh hon, I think you've got the strongest case in teh world. I'm planning on adding a couple pair to my wardrobe over the next couple months. <3 Cambriajupefashion.blogspot.com
you wouldve been that friend I had in the 7th grade that I was so jealous of because she like every color of BONGO jeans. Yeah, i'm still not over it apparently.
I love how you do colored denim. I just ordered my first pair (eggplant, i'm starting slow) and am so excited to style them. As a pearshaped gal I was always nervous about the color but you show how it can be done so tastefully. Thanks!
done. i too have an obsession with colored denim. it's getting to the point where i almost have more colored denim than i do shirts. which is not the worst wardrobe problem i've ever had.

You really pull those off well with your long legs! I need to try some on my short legs and see if they work or not.

WHERE are those loafer-wedges from? In the middle picture. Please. 🙂
It would be great if you were part of a set of triplets, because that picture above is like triple the awesome.

I'm with you Kendi. I have more than 10 pairs and I can not stop!
I just bought my first pair of colored jeans and I am now a believer! You inspire me to get even more of them now!
I just bought another pair today! They looked tangerine in the store but now that I'm home, they're more of a pink/apricot. I still love them!

Adorable… if you ever get sick of wearing clothes you should sell your wardrobe… as full… I would buy it. That's if I wasn't poor… blah.

I have yet to see someone who rivals you in wearing colored denim! Wurk it gurl:)
I desperately want some too! I think blue, red, and yellow are my top picks. What can I say? I love primary colors. Can't wait to check it out!

I'm loving this look too! I remember when I wore colored denim in the early 90's and here it is again.
Cute outfits!!!!!!!!!! Love your new design p.s. 🙂
Whats not to love about coloured jeans. I have invested in three pairs this year and they are all very much loved.

I share your obsession! I haven't been able to find a good mint pair though.

DUDE! Totally in LOVE with your new blog design!!!
I bought some red jeans but they stretched out a little 🙁 colored jeans don't look so good when they're baggy 🙁
Post an outfit with red jeans! I just recently bought a pair and have been trying to find the perfect shirt and blazer to pair them with!
I love them too. I just hope it is a trend we can enjoy for more than 1 year 🙂

I love colored jeans too, but more importantly – where are those blue suede wedges from? Love them!

Grab a friend who sews and see if they can take them in, or do it yourself! My sewing skills are minimal, but skinnifying jeans is wonderfully simple. Try:
