I've been excited to see colored denim popping up everywhere lately, because it's a trend that is easy to follow and can add some immediate interest to your wardrobe. Having the option of substituting something fresher into my usual blue jean rotation gives the illusion that I took an extra second to think about my outfit.
I love color play in an outfit, so I chose to pair the jeans with a patterned top that doesn't have green in it, but complements the denim nicely. If the contrasting colors go together, a perfect match is not a necessity. I've worn this top before with regular blue jeans, but I like to change up my outfits, so adding a color was the perfect update for one of my go-tos.
