Oh April, what a month it’s been! We had a few cool days in there, but it’s been so warm that even the neighborhood pool opened up almost a month early.

Has anyone tried the Forever 21 Twill skinny pants? I love the peach colored pair – a pastel pair has been on my wish list as well.

The key to wearing colored jeans in the office is to pair them with a dressier top – a blouse in a neutral color tones them down. If you’re feeling brave, add a colored blouse in an analogous or complimentary color for a color block look.
