The New ‘It’ Jean

What. am. I. talking. about. Well, there’s a new jean style in town and it’s awesome. It involves pleating and a high waist, so I’m in. I’ve seen a few high waist jeans starting to pop up in stores, some are actual denim material like these white ones I’m wearing, and some are a little softer. I love the fit though because with high waist, you can move and feel comfortable wearing the crop shirt trend. This new jean is pretty much taking on the ‘paper bag’ pant style, which is a few pleats and ruffles on a high waist, and sometimes a tie. But I definitely urge you to try it. The only body type I would just say be careful if you try it, is if you have a completely flat bootie (no shame, everyone is different). But just a warning because this style might accentuate it instead of rounding it out more like a regular style jean would give you.

Today, my outfit is a perfect spring neutral option that you can wear in these warmer days on the weekends, to a brunch, or even to work. For work wear, just throw a blazer or light jacket over it. I love these high waist jeans because the material is thick, where it’s not see through, but light enough to feel just fine on a warmer day. I think the fit is very flattering because of where it hits on the waist. As far as the turtleneck tank, this look is very chic and to me, can be very french. While we’re here, I have to touch on this amazing bag. It was so kindly made just for me from Leather and Vodka. If you are not familiar with them, definitely check them out. I love supporting small, unique businesses, and they are so inspirational. This trend of repurposing LV bags and adding fringe is kind of all over the place now, and they were one of the first people to do it. They use authentic Louis Vuitton bags, and create new designs. They include a certificate of authenticity with every bag, and they smell of divine leather! The fringe detail is so cool, and every single bag is different. You can either buy from their site right away, or send them a message and work to have something custom just for you. They also find the most incredible turquoise stones for a special touch. The fringe look is so boho, which to me, is perfect for warm weather dressing and summer. So this is your next summer bag! Think of it with a crisp white flowy sundress and flat sandals.
