Day off Destroyed Denim

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!

Your Making Me Blush

There's no color I love more this season than blush, it is a staple in my spring wardrobe.  When I saw the jacket I knew I needed it (and prayed that it fit while practically yanking it down from the display), the waterfall detail in the front makes it look effortlessly chic and again... the color is perfect.

I have been trying to add more neutrals to my wardrobe but this top has been one of my favorites for almost two years now and has yet to fail me.  Chiffon shirts are great for layering as the weather warms up because they are so breathable and fall nicely over anything from trousers to skirts, this one has a permeant place in my closet.   

In addition to the coat these sunnies have been glued to my face since I picked them out the second I saw them at Nordstrom.  Aviators are my favorite style because they are as easily worn with gym apparel as they are with something a bit more put together and versatility is my go-to.  The handbag is Rebecca Minkoff (I'm addicted to her bags) I love that I can remove the chain to make it a clutch, like I just said... versatility.

Trench Coat (noun): a loose, belted, double-breasted coat essential for spring

When it comes to essentials I am extremely picky.  In addition to the perfect bucket bag, I have been looking for the perfect trench coat since the snow started to melt.  I am trying to build my wardrobe around essential pieces and a trench coat is something I am missing.  Meanwhile the bargain hunter in me found this one for 30-something dollars and could not pass it up.  Until I find one that fits like a glove this will do! It's amazing how a trench coat makes an outfit.  This day the trench coat was my outfit, underneath I was wearing my boyfriends paint covered thermal (in my defense it was colder than these photos look)! 

Ohh, and these sunglasses, less than 6 dollars... 

now, off to find the perfect one!

Transitional Vibes

Spring has not arrived quite yet in the northeast.  Until the sun appears for good and temperatures stay above 45 I have been channeling these transitional looks. 

Essentials: a trench coat, ripped denim, and a white t.  Adding on a scarf when it is a bit cold (or extremely windy) has been my goto.
