Royal vs. Cobalt

Probably the best part about having real-life roommates (as opposed to e-roommates) is the fact that I could ask them any stupid question I wondered about and NO ONE else had to know about it.  The funny thing about this blog is...I am letting the entire world wide web know about these ridiculous questions I have.  The good new is, I never lose sleep about these ridiculous questions.  The bad news is, everyone who looks at this blog realizes I think about a lot of really dumb things.

Oh, well.

Today I have another ridiculous question for you. I bet you're excited.

I might have accidentally purchased two ALMOST identical pants.  So identical that you can barely tell the difference in these photos.  So identical that it is ridiculous I couldn't decide in the store and I had to take them home and make my husband sit there while I try each of them on over and over again.



Although they look the same color in the following pictures, believe me-- they really are two different colors.

So, which do you prefer....

...the cobalt?

.....or the royal?

I know..I know.. they're so similar.  But, if you HAD to choose.  Which ones would you choose?  
Shirt: TJ Maxx Scarf: Gift from Whitney 
Cobalt Pants: Marshalls Royal Pants: Target Shoes: Target


PS- if price factors into your decision...the royal ones are 2 dollars more.  Although, they both were free from gift cards.

Kristen said...

I'm going to say royal

Kat said...

Royal, because it leaves more room for a bit of fading the first time you wash them.

Royal...I think the color looks richer....but the cobalt is nice, bright, and cheery

Sarah said...

ROYAL! Love the richer color and it's a little less "WOW" if you know what I mean... but cobalt is nice too haha

Abby said...

Royal... looks richer and more of an adult way to wear the color!

I like the royal blue ones, but that's probably because they look a little darker - and I like to stick to darker colors on the bottom... ~ Andi

royal!

Lindsay said...

I'm going for the cobalt. I see the difference in the first pic, but not in the outfit ones. Jeesh! It's so hard!

Mel said...

ROYAL. Although if you're trying to get a pair of pants that are a little farther from denim, then you should go with the cobalt.

Helpful, huh? :)

royal!

Audrey @ Putting Me Together said...

So hard to decide. Both are great! I'd choose royal though. I think it'd end up being more versatile because the color is richer.

Brittany said...

i like the royal one better. the color just looks richer. and since they're from target, i might just have to get myself a pair!

Nikki said...

cobalt! cobalt! cobalt! x

Libby said...

Adore the cobalt pants - they are gorgeous and the color is stunning on you!

Domestic Diva said...

I like the deep richeness of the Royal but the colbalt are bright and fun. I guess it depends on what you are going for?!? If I could only choose one, I would go for Royal .....

Mr. Taylor and his Lady said...

those blue pants are just so fabulous girl!! you are rockin' them!

SoFashionistica said...

The Royal, Definitely!

Terri said...

I'd go royal. While cobalt is really trendy right now, it looks like it'll fade sooner than the royal. Thanks for visiting my blog. I love yours and I'm totally going to follow it now!

My vote is for the Royal.

rlutz said...

I vote royal...they look amazing on you!!

Richard said...

Rhett must still be a rookie to have even considered the question. As he will not doubt learn, most men get past that stage the first time they have to pick which shade of white looks best when you repaint the guest bedroom...do they need any adjunct professor positions in his program I might apply for?

Stephanie said...

I like the colour of the royal but the fit of the cobalt - so cobalt is my vote.

@lliE said...

I just found your blog (totally randomly-- you know the, "I'm bored-- I'm looking at a strangers blog....now I'm clicking on something else...". Well, she -- whoever it was I forgot now, had a button of your blog and I was like, "Hey, I totally know/knew those girls."

What a totally fun blog you have.

I'm your newest follower.

Here's my creative blog if you're interested.

Christine said...

The Jones said...

Oh hands down COBALT gets my vote...somehow they are just the perfect colour on you and just look really chic. The royal are cute, but the cobalt have an edge :)

P.s. I'm SO GLAD you commented on my blog, it's great to get to know you! Following you...stop back again and visit :)

The Youngs said...

I love the cobalt. The extra brightness really makes them pop out, especially if you pair them with neutrals.

Ana from Sweet Serendipity said...

Cobalt! They are a little more obnoxious and bright which = awesomeness!! :) That ruffly shirt is all sorts of adorable!!! Love it!

Tiffany said...

Definitely royal. I'm a new follower, found you from The Pleated Poppy. And what a beautiful backdrop for your pictures!!! I love all the fall colors.

Janelle said...

ROYAL! love the darker color! Love the look for fall, plus the ROYAL will look great with a white tunic in the spring!

Lisa @ MMT said...

I like them both! Hard to choose!
