Red, White and [Royal] Blue Jeans

The summer heat may be turned way up, but that’s no excuse for letting your style turn down. Colored denim came in with a roar this Spring, and now that we’ve had a few months to warm up to the idea it’s time to give it a bold go denim vests. In-Jean-Ius Boutique in Boston’s North End is the spot for colored denim. They carry colored varieties from J.Brand and Citizens of Humanity (pictured) in a variety of cuts and fits. Knock two trends out at once and colorblock your bright bottoms with a solid top. Pop on a pair with nude heels, flip down your shades, take your little buddy for a walk and be prepared to stop traffic. I was at F.L. Woods in downtown Marblehead the other day, browsing for my millionth pair of Jack Roger’s Navajos when I stumbled on these: the Jack Roger’s “Georgica” sandals here. What a refreshing twist on the classic, right?! I usually avoid studs like the plague (seriously, do not like), but I actually am into these. They anchor the extreme prep factor nicely. On JackRogersUSA.com they retail for $148, but for some reason I remember them being priced less at F.L. Woods (I’ll have to get back to you). Either way, the Georgica’s are a great way to break out of the Navajo rut.
