Day off Destroyed Denim

4/10/15

I have two days off a week and I would be lying if I said I didn't wear destroyed denim on both of them. I have always loved distressed jeans. I remember sitting in class my freshman year of high school, bored out of my mind, shredding my jeans with a pair of scissors (looking back there were probably more constructive things I could have been doing). Notice: I did not destroy these jeans myself (if I could have, I would have). To make these jeans even better they are boyfriend style... so not only are they hella cute, they are just as comfortable.

always laughing

Now I have a confession: I could not stand boyfriend jeans for the longest time.

There, I said it, I despised them... It was not the look, it was the fit. I must have tried out 20 different pairs of boyfriend jeans until I found ones that looked like boyfriend jeans. I am curvy and have a booty so the loose fit of boyfriend jeans usually dose not translate well when pulled over my thunder thighs (I'm a big fan of squats and I don't plan on stopping). For my fello curvy girls I found these in the plus section of Forever 21 and I'm wearing a 12 (to be honest they are a bit big, but the proportions fit well so I will have them taken in at the waist) For my thinner girls heres a similar pair!

it's finally feeling like spring!

Date Night Chic: Bodycon

3/24/15

My love for transitional pieces is real. I declared my love for this dress in my last outfit post and heres another example of how this dress (and any other body-con dress) can be so versatile. As much as I wish I had a jet-setting, vacation taking, exciting life I don't. Like many 20 year olds my life is filled with work, school work, and a lack of sleep. On occasion I may have a chance to dress it up a bit and having pieces that are as easily dressed up as they are dressed down makes things easier.

Dressed up this dress is perfect for date night, dressed down its perfect of running errands, heading to class, or a quick lunch with friends.

Top the dress with a longline vest, blazer, or coat for a more sophisticated feel.

Versatile pieces can make getting dressed less of a headache. Lets not overlook the marble print of this gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff clutch, I was in love the second I saw it. (cross body version)

This slight glimpse of warmth (and by warmth I mean anything above 40 degrees) has given me hope. I am ready for spring and everything that comes with it! Bring on the sandals, dresses, light coats and anything else that has no connection to negative degree weather or snow.

Yesterday the high was 57... yes f i f t y s e v e n! It didn't feel like 57 but lets be real, I will take anything over 40! This casual transition outfit was perfect! A light sweater, boyfriend jeans, and my chucks topped with a scarf for those gusts of wind! I brought out my favorite spring bag and lets not forget the violet mirrored sunnies (I'm obsessed). When thinking transitions I always keep layers in mind. If it was a bit warmer I would have replaced the scarf with a necklace; a bit cooler and I would have added a vest!
