Transitional Look

[Scarf] Forever 21
[Tank top] Nordstrom BP
[Jeans] BDG Urban Outfitters
[Purse] Marc by Marc Jacobs
[Earrings] Vintage

This past week has consisted of cool mornings and warm afternoons, which is perfect for leisurely runs and outdoor dining but it is not so easy to select an outfit for this ideal weather. However, this past weekend I was particularly satisfied with my outfit selection. I paired a stylish pair of BDG Urban Outfitters tie dyed jeans that are embellished with studs around the pockets with a simple black racer back tank and light weight cotton scarf. The cotton scarf provided warmth in the morning as it acted as a shawl, however in the afternoon when the temperature rose the scarf became an accessory. I also selected a no fuss chain link over the shoulder purse and vintage earrings to complete the look.

Casual Travel Outfit

Last week my boyfriend suggested we spend the upcoming weekend in Boston. I was excited for the mini trip but was unsure about what to pack. It was important that I packed comfortable versatile outfits that would work in the humidity and rain. I opted for a comfortable pair of jeans with a tank top that is both comfortable and cute.

You Can Never Have Enough Denim

As a high schooler I was under the impression that in order for a pair of jeans to properly fit you, you had to spend upwards of $200 per pair.  Furthermore, one pair was never enough.  As the years quickly passed I realized that jean trends tend to come and go just as quickly.  Therefore, I needed a less expensive alternative to help me keep up with the trends.  Then I discovered Urban Outfitter's jean brand - BDG.  These jeans come in a varity of fits and colors.  Plus, their stretchy fabric makes them form fitting yet still comfortable at the same time.  The best part, they are affordable!  Above I have a picture of 3 of my favorite pairs - a dark blue boyfriend cut, white cigeratte jeans and royal blue cigarette jeans.

Beachside Dining Outfit

[shirt] Ella Moss
[belt] Nordstrom Brass Plum
[jeans] Urban Outfitters BDG cigarette jeans
[shoes] Target



Several months ago I purchased this one shouldered Ella Moss shirt through Shop it to Me (website previously discussed here) in anticipation of the warm weather.  While I had no idea what I would wear it with or when I wear it, I just knew I had to have it.  Just a few days before my vacation an idea popped into my head, I NEEDED WHITE JEANS.  Of course, I went to my go-to brand, Urban Outfitters BDG cigarette jeans (jean blog post coming soon) and found the perfect pair.  Adding the belt and the durable shoes that could handle the sandy terrain were natural choices.  I simply love how the outfit came together!

To follow the trend or not to follow the trend

[shirt] J. crew
[jeans] Urban Outfitters BDG cigarette jeans
[shoes] Steve Madden leopard print flats

The colorful jean trend is in full force and I could not hate it more! I don’t want to say that I will never jump on this trend, but for right now I have no interest in it. Something about it just bothers me - maybe it is the fact that you can’t walk down the street without seeing multiple people wearing coral jeans with a white button down and nude pumps or the fact that the mass produced jeans seem to be compromising the quality. Whatever the reason, it is just not doing it for me. I am however interested in livening up your standard blue jeans by introducing a more vibrant hue. I am pictured above wearing a different take on the colorful jean trend.

More to come on my current favorite brand of jeans (Urban Outfitters BDG) in a later post!
