Good Jeans

What I Wore - Top: Anthropologie (similar), Jeans: Loft, Bag: Madewell, Booties: Sam Edelman (similar)

There is something to be said about finding a good pair of jeans, I honestly can't remember the last time I owned a pair of light wash jeans. I think by the time I entered high school I had sworn them off completely and was wearing only the darkest of washes, and since I wear jeans so seldom I've never been one to collect a lot of different pairs - I like to stick to the basics. The reason I dislike jeans so much is mostly because I find them incredibly uncomfortable and unflattering, something that I think is a fairly common sentiment for a lot of women. And don't even get me started on shopping for jeans, trying to find a pair that fits in all the right places is something I attempt only about two times year because I hate it so much. But recently I feel I've had a bit of a change of heart - when I saw this pair of light wash boyfriend-ish jeans hanging in Loft I felt like if anything was going to make me like light wash jeans it was going to be this pair of pants. So I tried them on and they were so soft and fit really really well and were pretty flattering and now here we are. It's hard for me to not buy something that makes me feel as good as I did when I tried these on. Watch this space for more posts of different ways I style them in the upcoming warmer months!

Floral Smock Dress

What I Wore: [Dress: Asos, Jacket: Macy’s, Boots: Sam Edelman, Bag: Jessica Simpson, Necklace: super old from Accessorize, Lipstick: Bobbi Brown “Rosy”]

I’m home! Finally, after 4 months of being abroad, I’m back in my hometown for the remainder of the summer. As much as I already miss London, which is an indescribable amount, it feels good to be back home with my family and friends and no longer living out of a suitcase. One of the best things that goes along with that is that I have been reunited with about half of my wardrobe (the other half still being at school in Portland) that I had been without for 4 months. I’ve been enjoying rediscovering pieces I’ve forgotten about and putting them together in new ways.

This look is made up of a dress I bought last september (after I saw Julia from Gal Meet’s Glam post a photo of her on Instagram wearing it and fell in love), a freakishly old utility jacket that I don’t even remember buying, and my beloved Sam Edelman boots. The smock shape of this dress is something that took some time to get used to because, let’s be honest, smock dresses are not meant to be flattering on anyone. They’re meant to be comfortable and easy (this one definitely is) which makes me not care so much about how my figure looks in it. Overall, I’m quite pleased with how this look turned out.

Thank you for stopping by!

OOTD: Tweed-ily Dee

What I Wore: [Sweater: Forever 21, Skirt: Nordstrom, Fleece Tights: Nordstrom Rack, Necklace: Forever 21, Booties: Sam Edelman]

I snagged this amazing, slightly sparkly, tweed skirt a few weeks ago during Nordstrom’s half-yearly sale, and I am so glad I did! The length is perfect, the shape is flattering and comfortable, and because of the colors in the weave it literally goes with ANYTHING. This skirt is going to be the first thing I pack to take with me to London because I know I will be getting so much use out it. I am equally as obsessed with else little booties. The color and height is perfect and I’ve been loving pairing them with just about everything this fall. Plus, the little rose gold zippers on the back are just the perfect finishing touch. Overall, this outfit made me very happy when wearing it and I thought I would share a happy thing with you all. 

Enjoy your day!
