Recent purchases: Coral jeans

Do my legs look bright in these?!
Colour is what makes me tick. In my work, my home. I love playing around with colour combinations and trying out new shades. When it comes to my wardrobe however, I'm a bit ... well ... shy! I tend to stick to neutrals like camel, beige, navy and lots of shades of grey, honestly my wardrobe has so much grey.

Recently, I've felt like I might be missing out. There are so many lovely colours in fashion at the moment.
I got a little brave a couple of weeks ago and bought green shoes! Feeling quite smug at my colourful shoe purchase I went one step further and ordered these coral jeans from George at Asda. They were on offer for £10 (they have since gone back to their original price of £14).

I didn't bank on them being quite so bright in "real life" and it came as a bit of a shock! But ... I kind of like them. I tried them on with some very old ankle boots (in grey!)

I'll probably wear them with a slouchy grey(!) tee-shirt and converse style pumps, just to tone things down a little. Oh, and for the record, they are really nice quality, the denim is so soft and comfortable.

  4. These are so nice! Wear them with pride. More people need to wear bright colours...saying that I have a pair of bright red jeans and I always feel like everyone else is going to need sunglasses when I wear them!

  5. I'd say £10 for those is a pretty fabulous bargain, they look great with those boots too! I wish I were braver as I'd love some mint green jeans!

  6. I'm really loving the bright coloured jeans available right now. I just don't know if I could wear them - I still have weight to lose and bright jeans on a lardy arse is probably a no-no!! £10 is a total bargain! :)

  7. They're gorgeous! I've been eyeing up the george denim range for a while now... but clothes shopping on a student budget isn't always the easiest plan!

    1. Aaah, yes I remember those days :(
      Asda's denim and indeed the whole George brand, is pretty reasonable and they always reduce items .... usually right after I've bought it the week before come to think of it! :D xx

  8. Great colour! I'm a big neutrals fan too but I'm definitely being influenced by all the lovely spring pastels and brights and came home with a lilac tee shirt yesterday!

  13. i bought these recently too but they have lost all their brightness in the wash, i loved them until i washed them !! now looking very dull, and washed at low temperature, inside out etc ! have you had a similar experience, strangely the blue i also purchased have kept their colour when washed !!

    1. Oh what a shame! Mine have washed fine up to now (only washed twice) I turned them inside out as you did and on 30 degrees. Hopefully they won't go dull as yours have :( I guess for the price the quality of dye may not be very good?! xx
