"Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah"

How many of you remember being so pumped when your mom bought you that first pair of jeans with the zipper at the ankle?  Or are you too young to even have that memory?  Heck, some of you might not have even been born when zippers down the side made their debut...crap, am I dating myself again? 

I must say that when I spotted these Georgia Peach skinny jeans {with zippers down the side} I had a flashback....let me take you back to that moment....I was at Wiener's {remember that place and it's weird smell} with my mom and she bought me a pair of jeans {with zippers}. They had flamingos all over them.  I thought I was the luckiest and most fashionable 10 year old girl in the world!

Okay, back to the present...I truly fell in love with these jeans.  I had no idea what I was going to wear with them, but I knew I had to have them.  I loved the pastel peachy color {another great Spring 2012 trend}, I am a sucker for skinny jeans and best of all they had a zipper at the ankle.  Score!

When I brought them home and showed them to the hubs, he looked at me like I was crazy and just shook his head.  But, once I pulled this little get-up together he actually said that they were 'cute'.  Ha!

I think I am digging these more than my red skinny jeans, and you guys know how much I love those!

So, here is the low down, I took another pair of colored jeans and toned them down with some simple, classic and feminine pieces.  Who says jeans with zippers are a distant memory?

I focused on natural, skin-toned colors to make this an edgy, but soft everyday style.
Notice the zipper in this picture?  Super cute, right?  Are you warming up to the idea yet?
I added a little black into the mix to break up the soft, muted colors in the top and pants.
This necklace can be dressed up or down.  It is a piece that can be worn with a variety of outfits.  The colors in the beads remind me of my favorite Essie and OPI polishes.
These shoes are Missoni for Target. I have so much to wear with them!  You can't see it in the picture, but they have a fab wooden heel.  I heart them!!  These babies are gone from Target, but I know that you can snag a pair on eBay for a great price!  Plus, the chevron print is all over the place right now!
One last look...again, do you see the zipper? Pretty cute, right?  Get you some!

Happy Friday, My Friends!

Cheers to adding a bit of "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" in your life!

I love the little details in clothing and the zipper at the ankle is so cute! I also like the way that you styled these jeans and it makes me want to go out and buy a pair for myself.
