WISHLIST: Colored Denim

My biggest rule when it comes to spending on a new trend is to buy from places like Forever21, Target, H&M, etc. With their cheaper price tags I can try out the trend without spending big $$$ if it goes out of style.

Here are some options I have come across for this trend depending on your budget, from HIGH to LOW of course. :)

Express
$80

Wayyy too much $$$ in my book for a trendy item. Plus, these were super long on me & run really small. The perfect inseam for me is around 30" and these were prob around 33/34" so I would've had to spend more $ just to get them hemmed.


American Eagle
$45

I like how you have the option of getting these in Short, Regular or Long. But for $45 I still feel like the price tag was way too high for this item.


Mossimo for Target
$23

I've heard it runs small but that's prob b/c it's Junior sizes. I am looking to try a pair of these on sometime this week, but I can't decide between the blue or the red! The $23 price tag is exactly what I am looking for when it comes to a trendy item. Even if I only get a couple months of use from these I won't feel bad when the trend dies.


Did you go out and buy some colored denim? 
If so, let me know from where?

Outfit Inspiration: High-waisted Flares
