Skinny Jeans Two Ways

Two outfits for today! The first was from a couple of weeks ago when the temps were still hovering around 90. An easy tank, statement necklace and sandals. And of course my favorite accessory of all, my adorable kiddo! And then an outfit for a day spent walking around a kids museum. Comfy shoes and easy layers.

I have always avoided jeans in the past because I had such a difficult time finding them. But I am really loving these. They are super comfy and were available in colors like red and plum which I promptly snagged. ;) Do you have a favored brand of denim that you love?

Firmoo Fab for Free!

Happy Monday, y'all! I spent the weekend in bed. We are all sick around my house, but starting to feel better, so that's good. ;)

 I got new sunnies! Aren't they fabulous. And they were free from a cool online glasses retailer called Firmoo. If you are a glasses wearer, go check them out! They have program allowing bloggers to get free glasses as long as you blog about them. So, I ordered these sunnies and they came at just the right time. (More on that tomorrow.)  I also got a pair of regular glasses which I am really enjoying. They are more rectangular than my others. They are also just a teeny bit to wide for my face, but I have a small face. ;)

Anybody else out there tried Firmoo? What did you think?

Leopard Loafers and Teal Comfiness

I loved this outfit so much I wore it twice! I wore for Sunday evening services and then again on Monday. This teal blouse is super silky and comfy and it covers my hips a bit (a must for skinny pants) not to mention the prettiest shade of teal. I added my black skinnies and my new leopard loafers for a perfectly comfy and chic feeling outfit! I have a feeling these leopard loafers will be getting a lot of wear this fall!

Hope y'all are having a lovely week!

Cute and Comfy Coral and Plum

Happy Monday, pretty ladies!

I am so far behind on my outfit posting! I think I wore this last Monday. These are my new plum jeggings from walmart and they are super comfy. And the deep plum color was just screaming for this bright coral cardi. I loved this outfit - comfy, colorful and cute!

Hope y'all have a great week!

Monochromatic and Animal Print!

Hello, lovelies! Here is what I wore to church on Sunday. ;) We all know how much I love an animal print shoe and these wedges have definitely been faves this summer. (Although not quite as popular as my leopard sandals!) I loved the monochromatic look here and thought the leopard shoe was the perfect finishing touch. I kept the jewelry pretty simple with my cute little owl earrings a charm bracelet I made years ago from all the necklace pendants I had received over the years and never wore. It is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry because it is original and so personal.

As much as I love a leopard shoe or belt, I am just not into leopard clothing. ;) We all know how I feel about prints. ;) A cute leopard cardi makes for such a chic outfit, but isn't for me. What about you? Do you enjoy leopard (or any animal print) clothing or just as accessories?

Oh, and although I had it done almost two weeks ago, I think this is the first time y'all have seen the new hair. ;) I finally went ahead and permed it and I am loving it. The extra body and ease of styling has made my life so much easier. ;)

Hope y'all are having an excellent week!

Bye Bye Grey Jeans

 

Here is one from the archives! I wore this back in early August for some kind of evening outing. I don't even remember what. ;) These are one of the smaller pairs of jeans from last year, but they are way too big in the waist and won't stay up. It annoys me to no end when I have to keep pulling my pants up every five minutes. And yes, it happens even with a belt. I just don't think my body was made for jeans. This is the last time these were worn before being consigned. Just as a fun little tidbit they were also the first jeans I wore here on the blog - I think it was my second outfit post.

Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Fall Wish List Shopping Update

Happy Thursday, pretty ladies!

As many of you know I am on a jean hunt this fall. I am consigning 7 pairs of jeans/pants that no longer fit. This leaves me with a few pair of pants (including a pair of mint cords from years ago) and two pairs of jeans. So, clearly some shopping was in order. Now, I am also on a massive budget constraint, so cheap is imperative. I also have fit issues. I am petite with a very small waist in comparison to my hips. They don't make jeans for my body type. Seriously. If you knew how many pairs of jeans I have tried on in the last six months, you would cry. No joke. If I find them to fit my hips they are so big in the waist that I have to wear a belt and even then end up yanking them up four thousand times a day. Not fun. And if they fit my waist I can't even get them over my hips. Nice. Frustration city.

Enter jeggings (I hate that word.) Now I am not talking the knit legging type ones, which I do own, but the ones that are pretty much jeans with an elastic waist. (I know. Just writing that I wear jeans with an elastic waist is making me feel way old.) Awesome, y'all. Made for me. And..... I found them at Walmart for $12.

They are insanely comfy, the perfect length and the right price. They are also a heavier stretch denim fabric so I can wear them when it is cold and not freeze. I got them in this blue, black and red and plum. The red and plum ones just came today. They were only available online. This means that I have four pairs of super comfy jeans for under $50. Color me happy.

Still on my wishlist for fall are jeans/cords in pink and teal and a pair of leopard loafers. I am planning on Old Navy for the pink jeans - the $19 rockstars are calling my name and I really like the Hue cord leggings in teal, but will not pay $39 for them. Geez.

So, look for some outfit posts featuring my new denim coming soon. ;)

Do you have denim fit issues? Will you be buying (or have you already bought) colored denim for fall?
