Seeing Red

I remember buying my first pair of cowboy boots, a Red pair of Justins circa 1990. Oh how I loved those boots. I don't think I have worn a Red shoe since.
A pop of color can make an outfit, especially if your like me and mostly wear navy, grey, and black and are always in jeans. I like to think of an accent color as a neutral.
I am currently obsessing over something RED. Maybe a pair of RED Chuck Taylors or RED Valentino's, either way I am seeing red, and in a good way...

More from the Denim Junkie

It is so easy to shop for anything you want when you are on the smaller side. Trends don't seem so scary and seem easier to carry off. I think though regardless of your size shopping for a pair of jeans can be beyond intimidating, there are so many different cuts and styles it is overwhelming. 
Recently a friend who is not a size 0 asked me to help her find something cool to wear for an afternoon in the city. I am such a denim junkie that of course I suggested jeans and sent her to Old Navy to try the Rockstar Skinny Coated jeans in black. It is such a versatile jean great for day or night, dressed up or down and range from sizes 0-20 mid rise or low rise, they even have a Plus size line with all the same great styles that range in sizes 16 plus-30. Old Navy has such a huge variety of on trend denim at fantastic prices.
Loft a division of Ann Taylor is another great source for on trend styles in a variety of sizes that won't leave you feeling frumpy. Jeans come in sizes from a 24 to 34 (waist size) and a choice of regular, petite or tall inseams.
Both Old Navy and Loft have great easy to navigate web sites to make shopping from home easy and painless.
