Holiday Glam

 

Hi Everyone!

Since next week is Christmas, I wanted to share one more holiday outfit with you. For a super dressy look, you can’t go wrong with a red dress. I absolutely love this one. I chose those ruby earrings because I wanted to have something that matched. I also thought loved the way that the gold clutch looked with it.

This will be my last post this week as I am going to take some time to enjoy the holiday season. I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas with those that you love and I will be back next week with more fun posts! 🙂

Spring Polka dots

 

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you are all having a great week so far. Mine has been pretty good. Today I’m sharing a casual outfit for spring. I love throwing on a blazer with a t-shirt and jeans instead of a cardigan. It just makes me feel very put together. I also love polka dots and could not resist using that top. Since I’m not a big heels person, I chose a pointy toed flat. That bag has also been added to my wish list. 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that you all have a wonderful day!! ❤

First Outfit of Spring!

 

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you are all having a great week so far. Since I am so ready for spring clothes, I thought that I would share a spring outfit today. I never used to be a fan of distressed denim but in the last two years it has really grown on me. I also just bought my first pair at work a month ago. 🙂 I kept things simple with a white t-shirt, but I could not resist using that striped blazer. I paired it with blush ballet flats and a blush bag to make it girly, and simple jewelry.

 

What do you all think?

Premium Denim Guide Pt. 2 – Styles & Body Types

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you are all having a great week so far. Today I wanted to the second part of my denim style guide. Last week I shared some tips on what to look for when buying premium denim, so today I wanted to talk about styles and different body types. One of the most important things that I learned at work is helping people find the right pair of jeans for their body type. We try on jeans all of the time at work and the best part is that all of us have different body types. Which makes it really helpful when working with a customer who is looking for jeans, since every customer is different. 🙂

I picked three different styles for this post and I will give an example of which body type works for that style of jean.

 

1. Skinny Jean. This jean is a universal fit, you just need to find the right brand. I only wear skinny jeans because I’m pretty petite and they always fit me the best. This pair from Paige  is my favorite right now and I wear them ALL of the time. They are amazing.
2. Boyfriend Jean. Most of the boyfriend jeans that we carry at work are more of a “girlfriend” style. They are tighter in the hips and butt and just look a lot more feminine. As for a body type, this works well if you’re tall, but also if you have a figure like Kim K or Jennifer Lopez. 🙂 This boyfriend by Paige is great, and so is this one from KUT from the Kloth .
3. Flared Jean. I love this style!! Flares look amazing on really tall ladies, but also if you are not super tall they still look great. Even if you have to get them shortened a little bit. This pair by Paige is fabulous.

I hope that this was a little bit helpful. The next time that you are shopping for jeans, try on a bunch of different brands too. They are all different and sometimes you might be surprised what ends up looking the best.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that you all have a wonderful day!! ❤

Off the Shoulder Top

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. Mine was great. I had to work Friday and Saturday, but only until 5:00. I was able to enjoy the beautiful weather here and delicious food.

Today I wanted to share a summer outfit. Off the shoulder tops seem to be everywhere lately, so when I saw this one I had to use it. I love a bright top with white jeans too.  I also added some boho earrings and a straw bag to complete it. I also have that exact wedge. They are comfortable and look good with just about anything.

So what do you all think?

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that you all have a great day today!! 🙂

Casual Skirt Outfit

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you are all having a great week so far. Today is my day off and I’m looking forward to enjoying the day.

One of my favorite looks is wearing a fun sneaker with a skirt. I have a pair of Converse that I usually wear with jeans, but I like to switch things up during the warmer months and wear them with a skirt.

For this outfit I could not resist using those bright pink sneakers. 🙂  I used a denim jacket as layering piece, and  I also completed it with some delicate jewelry. This outfit can also be carried into the summer, and you can also wear casual sneakers with a maxi or short cotton dress.

So what do you all think?

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that you have a wonderful day!! 🙂

Spring Peplum & White Jeans

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you are all having a great week so far. Spring has returned to Chicago and it’s going to be in the 60s and sunny here today. It also happens to be my day off, so I’m looking forward to enjoying some time outside. I decided to use my new white jeans as inspiration to create an outfit to share with you all today.

For this look, I decided to do something more classic. I chose that peplum top because I loved the color. The leopard flats I could not resist. Same goes for those elephant stud earrings.  The frayed hem of these jeans just creates a little bit of an edgy look. I definitely have some other outfit ideas for these jeans and I’ll share them soon. Including an actual photo of me wearing my jeans. 🙂

So what do you all think?

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that you all have a fabulous day! 🙂

Polka Dot Jeans

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you all had a great weekend. My weekend was pretty good. My husband and I went to a blues concert on Friday night that was great, Saturday I worked, and yesterday we watched the Pride Parade. We also grilled some delicious burgers and spent some time with my Dad.

Moving on!

Today I just wanted to share a fun outfit with you. I love polka dots. They are cheery and they will never go out of style. We had a pair of polka dot jeans at work and they were adorable. I had a lot of fun creating different outfits with them too. Here I paired them with a bright pink top and wedges. I of course had to add the polka dot Tory Burch bag. 🙂 You could also go more casual with a t-shirt and some flats. I also like the idea of wearing a graphic t-shirt and denim jacket with them.

Well I hope that this inspires you to give a fun type of denim a try. I also hope that the cheerful polka dots have brightened up your Monday.

Have a wonderful day everyone and thank you for stopping by! 🙂

Boyfriend Jeans

Hi Everyone! I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. I did not have to work this weekend so that was nice. We also celebrated my Dad’s birthday, and enjoyed some nice weather here.

Today I wanted to do a post about denim. At work we have been trained to become denim experts, and to know about the different styles of jeans, and what body type they will work best for. A pair of jeans is an investment, and finding a good quality pair that fits well is important. I also like to share different ways you can wear them during each of the seasons.

Today I wanted to share a boyfriend jeans outfit. Boyfriend jeans are more relaxed in the waist and in the legs and waist.  I paired them with a t-shirt and sandals for a casual summer outfit, but they would also look great with a dressy top and either wedges or pumps.

I’ll do some more denim posts showing different types of jeans and share what you can pair them with. I also hope that this inspires to give boyfriend jeans a try.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope that you all have a great day! 🙂
