In Search of: Spring Denim

I'm currently on the hunt for a new pair of dark wash skinny jeans to replace the Forever 21 pair I've been wearing for the past couple years, which finally bit the dust this month. But in addition to a practical pair of denim, I'm looking for a fun pair as well. Everywhere you look, store windows and magazine pages are full of colorful and patterned pairs of jeans. And I think a pair is just the thing to punch up my wardrobe this spring )a bright pair of pants will make my lazy day outfits 100x more exciting). Because I am both small (approximately 5' tall) but not completely lacking curves, finding pants that fit me is a bit of a chore. So I plan on doing a thorough search of the mall (yes, I live in the suburbs) as soon as possible. Any suggestions?
