I have to admit, when this style first hit stores, I wasn't rushing out on my lunch break to get them. But when I looked toward the jeans section of my closet last week and saw stacks of black and blue

monotony staring back at me, I decided the printed jean was officially in. Since I'm not crazy about the in-your-face prints - especially the ones that look like my grandma's floral rugs (my grandma would never have floral rugs) - I decided to test the waters with a muted emerald snakeskin print. They're subtle, but if you look close enough, you can see I'm branching out - I swear. Pair with basic colors and let the jeans do the talking.
