A Little Bit Classy, A Little Bit Modern

A ladylike jacket made of tweed and shiny gold buttons is the epitome of class. But I don't want to look like I'm wearing a Jackie O. costume. I believe the way to style the classics is to marry those pieces with modern and casual elements.

For me it's easy, I take distressed jeans and top them with structured more formal pieces for a balanced look that's chic and every day appropriate. Adding jeans to blouses and tops you would typically wear to work, church or dressy occasions allows you to get the most our of your wardrobe and creates a pretty outfit for the weekend. Y'all know I'm not a comfy/athleisure wear kind of gal.

I encourage you to try mixing tweed and torn up jeans this Spring.

My darling with me always. She was making her list of things to do (wonder where she got that from) while I tried to snap these pics.

Paper Bag Pants

Raise your hand if you want an outfit that whittles your waist! It's high time you get yourself a pair of paper bag waist pants. Let me explain. The name is deceiving, there's nothing plain or unattractive about these pants. It is simply used to describe the cinched waist like that of the bag. The waist is higher and often has a fabric tie sash. This highlights the smallest part on your body.

The legs tend to have more volume so I suggest pairing with a fitted top and always tuck in to highlight the tee tiny waist these pants will give you.

And not only do they flatter, they're extra comfortable!

I swapped out the sash for a contrasting belt. It adds texture, color and acts as an accessory.

These pants are timeless, just look back at Audrey Hepburn! So I kept my blouse and pumps classic.

PS Baby girl has me on Target runs weekly and like every other gal who steps into the 'danger zone' (that's what I call it because the amount of things you bring home and money you will spend on each run is dangerous #truth) I came home with more than diapers and baby food, such as these pants!
