We become alive in a time of fear

Rag & Bone leather jacket
Understar cropped tee
Topshop leopard belt
Forever 21 jeans
Rebecca Minkoff booties

I've wanted red jeans since I first saw a pair at Zara when I was in Chicago in the spring, but the size was wrong so I figured it wasn't meant to be (yet) and moved on. There were many options, like J Brand, Ksubi and Rag & Bone all came out with gorgeous red jeans but before I pulled the trigger I went into Forever 21 to buy a bunch of disposable shirts/dresses for the SE Asia trip (clothes I wouldn't mind potentially wrecking in travel.. I'm kind of hard on my stuff) and saw these for 1/7 of the price so had to snag. Since I like them so much I'll know to invest into more bright jeans/pants in the future.

    Patience is definitely virtue :)
    The red jeans is a catch!
    Brilliant pairing.

    Seriously, you rock those red pants better than I've seen anyone do it (and I can probably count the number of people on both hands).

    And the fact that they were a bargain. Hands down winner.
