January 2015 – Page 4 – Skirt The Rules

Month: January 2015

Posted on January 21, 2015 in Outfits

Getting dressed in the morning is usually my favorite part of the day … that is, until this time of the year. When it’s cold enough to see your breath in the air or frost on the car, I can barely manage to pull myself out of bed let alone put clothes on! For the next two months, finding the balance between warmth, comfort and style is key.

So when Lee sent me jeans to try on a few weeks ago, I was A) excited to throw on an outfit that didn’t involve leggings and B) pleasantly surprised at how comfortable their denim is! I promise you, their Slimming Stretch fabric is a winter wardrobe game charger. The denim is super stretchy, contoured to fit and above all else, feels so good.

I loved the saturated hue of this straight leg pair and embraced the timelessness of the denim with a simple sweater layered over a plaid shirt. Between the faded wash and the pops of plaid and leopard, it felt like the perfect balance between casual and cool. I’ll be over on their blog styling another denim look this week, so be sure to check it out!

Whenever the new year rolls around, I find myself re-visiting some not-so-new resolutions. Staying fit is usually at the top of my list — not necessarily because I’m feeling guilty about all the sweets I devoured over the holidays (okay, that’s part of it), but because I want to challenge myself to be stronger and healthier than the year before. This year is no exception (mission #bridebod is in full effect) and thankfully, chic workout gear like these sneakers or these leggings make it much easier to hit the gym in style.

Black & White & Brunch 19 Replies

And all of a sudden, it’s Monday again. I wish I could rewind to Saturday brunch with Courtney and Daisy. Getting together with other bloggers is one of my favorite things to do. Besides sharing a love for fashion, there’s a mutual understanding that no one touches their food until the perfect Instagram shot has been taken (an important principle that my fiancé has slowly come to embrace). For our afternoon outing to Foragers in Chelsea, I wore this black and white sweater and a pair of coated leggings. My sweater is on sale right now, so head on over if you’re in the market for some majorly discounted winter essentials.
