Friday Favorites: Fun Jeans

 TGIF! This week has had some really fun moments. The weather has given us two warm and sunny afternoons that I took great advantage of with outside activities. I also had some really nice time with gal pals. It required some compromise on my part (I had to say no to my normal routine) but it was absolutely worth it!

Bodysuit Top - My Orange Jeans

I consider myself a classic gal but I also believe that 20% of your wardrobe (and home decor) should be modern. Adding fun trendy pieces to your wardrobe keeps your style interesting and stretches your style.

I'm seeing lots of new silhouettes with jeans: barrel, horseshoe, utility and cargo. 

Here are some fun jeans to try ...

Trousers for a Good Time

 Tis the season for dressing festive! In a world that's gone oh so causal I believe occasions that take us out of the cozy and into the glam does us well! As I create this post I'm sitting in a sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers (they do sparkle!) and while this is great for day-to-day I stand taller, walk more confident and have more fun when I'm all gussied up. 

A wide leg trouser is a great option! Especially in a bold color.

Note: You don't have to don sequins, a gown or opulent pieces to be dressy. I find the more sleek and sophisticated an outfit the nicer the look.

Trousers paired with fun tops are comfortable, elongate the body, and aren't a one time wear like a lot of holiday pieces. 

I paired this hot pink pair with a faux fur leopard jacket (found it at a thrift shop for $5!) and clutch for a look that's bold but not overly specific to the holidays. I can opt for a sweater, blouse or button up with boots for day time or less formal occasion.

Try a pair of wide leg trousers for your next soiree styled with heels and a sassy top and I guarantee you'll look and feel beautiful!

Black Pants

If you're around my age (ek 40), you remember wearing black flare pants and sassy tops out on the town late at night, to work or any occasion that wasn't casual. It was the uniform of my 20's. 

There was a shift into skinny pants around 10 years ago and then a major movement into denim for everything. The black pant almost went into a retirement.

I'm happy to share that they're back! And in cuts from the past including flare, trouser and wide leg.

My Flare Pants

Personally, I find a black pant sleek, slimming and sharp! They create a canvass that allows your top and face to shine. The pant, in a flattering fit, compliments your shape without competing with your pairings.

Here are some chic black pants 

Note: White I believe instinctually we tend to dress them up - in a crop/ankle length consider a casual styling of a tee/sweatshirt & sneakers.

Utility Pant

I recent purchased these and adore the flattering shape and modern detailing.
