I heard a rumor the other day that printed denim is the new colored denim. The rumor was actually started by me because I bought these pants and I didn’t want my collection of colored jeans to feel jealous. Actually I don’t really think they are the new colored jeans, but I do think they are a distant cousin to them that’s just new in town and wants to be given a chance.

This post is going to weird places a lot quicker than I had anticipated. And sadly I have nothing else to save it. Printed denim for spring, that is all.

  1. Kendi, you are so funny. Your posts seriously make my day. Fabulous fashion and hilarious commentary: Bravo. 

  2. I concur. Printed denim is like the cousin of colored denim — not quite as versatile, but just as much fun. 🙂

  3. I love your pants! they are so cute. I got polka dot pants so that my colored pants wouldn't be lonely.

  11. I literally laughed out loud at this post. "This post is going to weird places…" 

    I'm crushing on printed denim, but I have yet to buy any. This post has encouraged me to go get some asap. Thanks! I'll be sure to help spread the rumor.

  12. I'm on board with printed denim! I like the tribal prints, like your pants, more than the floral prints though. And they're harder to find! Love your gold earrings, especially with the color of your sweater. Gorgeous!

  14. Lol. Started thinking of the song by the song by Amy Winehouse when I read your title. Your writing is so quirky, I love it! Idk if I'll be trying printed denim, I still haven't found colored jeans I like. Love your fearless fashion sense Kendi!

  15. Not sure the super curvy girl can wing this without getting stones thrown at her, BUT they are cute and given the right top it could all work out fine. Distant cousin, you are welcome here.

  16. Love the look – I picked up this exact sweater from h&m today! Great way to style it. I enjoy a printed pant – especially in similar and not too obnoxious hues.

  17. Oh, Kendi. I believe you. This printed denim stuff both excites me and worries me, because I currently have every color of denim imaginable (except pastel orange and mint), but I only have 1 pair of graphic pants. Ikat pants. I've been searching for polka dot pants, but haven't found a pair I like yet. So thanks for warning me about this new trend. I'll keep an eye out next time I go shopping. Investing in printed denim might be wiser than colored denim now.

  18. I love the printed denim. I've been going back and forth on whether to buy some beauties from Urban Outfitters- I'm just not sure I can justify buying them when I work in a business-casual world….
    Cute blog!

  20. Lovely looks that you present here. But what I love most about it is the weather, that you have over there. Here its freezing and snowing, so we have to wear really thick coats and pullovers

  21. You look phenomenal! I am in love with your sweater and those pants make your legs look a mile long!

  24. Those pants are amazing. In fact, as I scrolled down the page, I said "those are sweet pants" aloud to no one.

  25. Great mint and gray combination. Chic as always!

  26. You really are loving mint lately! Looks good on you! The sweater almost looks studded in the first pic from far away. Vey cute. so springy yet im dealing with below freezing temps in Chicago!:(

  27. Def, printed denim is more fun than colored denim. But both are in the same family, whereas regular ol' blue denim is left in the dust. Those are some pretty daring pants, though! Super cute!

  28. I'm not a fan of printed denim, but I love the pants you're wearing. The soft colors of the print make them look more subtle.

  29. This is such a lovely outfit.  I'm obsessed with the colour combo and the pattern of the pants.  xo
