Flower Power

Two words: Floral Denim.

Completely on trend for spring, completely attainable on a budget, and, surprisingly, NOT completely stupid looking!

Because flowers are a bold pattern with multiple colors, I'd say the safest bet would be to pair them with neutrals, the way these three pairs are shown.

I've been seeing pairs that cost upwards of $150, which is absurd.
 Let's be real...these jeans will never have a second life. You'll wear them this spring and summer, and maybe a handful of times next spring.  For most of us, these will never become a wardrobe staple, and 5 years from now we'll wonder what the hell we were thinking wearing them at all.

If you want to spend a boatload of cash on a pair, more power to you. I'm sure they will fit like a dream and not fade or fray regardless of how many washes they endure.

But I just bought a pair for $30 that look shockingly similar to a Current/Elliot pair that cost $198. (In fact, I think I like mine BETTER!)

Obviously you can tell by the pictures which pair are mine, but if both pairs were laid out next to each other...would you still be able to tell? Nope. Sure, the fit may be a little less tailored feeling than, say,    J Brand's (whose jeans I adore), but they satisfy my momentary fashion obsession. And really, what more could I ask for?
