Denim Daze

Skirt The Rules // Faux Fur Trimmed Coat

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!

Currently Craving: Matching Sets

Zig Zag Print Matching Set

Matching Set // Geode Necklace // Quilted Bag // Cut-Out Booties

I’m not usually a matchy-matchy kind of girl.  My boyfriend can attest to that, considering that I constantly force him to change shirts if we’re ever wearing the same shade of anything (sorry babe!).  Even my fingernails are never painted the same color as my toenails.  But lately, I’ve been entertaining the idea of the matching set.

Matching Set // Bucket Bag  // Leather Watch // Ankle-Strap Sandals

I never thought I had the je ne sais quoi to pull off the look, but the more I see it rolling down runways and onto the racks, the more I want to give it a shot.  Because why not?  Whether you’re dipping your toes into a fun print or a classic texture, there is plenty of experimentation to be had!  And when you’ve given it a whirl, each piece is as perfect on its own.  Check out how I would style a matching set and let me know what you think of the trend!

Desk to Drinks: Striped Pencil Skirt

Day and Night: J.Crew Factory Pencil Skirt

desk: top | skirt | bag | wedges | sunglasses | bracelet
drinks: top | skirt | necklace | heels | clutch | cuff

Having rekindled my love for pencil skirts, I wanted to show you two ways to wear one of the striped variety.  It may seem a little plain Jane, but the classic cut and print makes it much easier to spice up.  For starters, I added a splash of mixed prints for the desk (floral and stripes is my go-to combo).  I also love the clean lines of this black satchel and this open gold cuff.  And things get a little sultry for drinks, with a dark burgundy cami and a gorgeous leopard clutch.  Either way you style it, they’re both anything but boring!
