Crazy for You: Boyfriends

I posted the link to my new Skinny Boyfriend Jeans on my Facebook Page yesterday.  I haven't been this smitten with denim since the Rockstars.  I just ordered them in white too because I am crazy about them.  As I have mentioned time and time again (you are probably sick of it) I have a few lbs left to lose from Preston. I can squeeze myself into my size 28's but it isn't a pretty site...muffin top anyone?  So,  I am hitting the gym hard and making some small diet changes, but I am certain, doing it the healthy way will take at least another 3 to 4 months.  I want to be fashionable and comfortable up until then and these jeans serve up both of those requests. I love the slouchy fit and especially love the forgiving nature of the waist.  Reviews online say they are running large...I suppose it depends how you want them to fit.  For me, I really wanted them to look like slouchy boyfriend jeans so I ordered and am wearing a 6.  I could probably squeeze into a 4 but that is not how I wanted to wear them.  On a side note, I do not know when or how, but mint has become a neutral color for me and I am wearing it with everything like red and orange as shown below.  Hope you find some outfit inspiration and Happy Shopping!

Tshirt Old Navy available here, Skinny Boyfriends  Old Navy available here, Blazer SAVA (pre spring not available yet),  Scarf Banana Republic (old),  Clutch Deux Lux, Earrings Stella and Dot, Bangles mix of c/o Lydell and Boutique Brands, Booties TOMS (no longer available)




By far my favorite screen cleaner for my phone, Ipad and computer....Check out the site here!

Boyfriend jeans are one of the last items on my wishlist. Who knew Old Navy would have cute ones? Loving your orange blazer and mint combo! Heather

My fave pair of boyfriend jeans are from Old Navy. These fit you perfectly. You've inspired me to add a new pair to my collection and something mint. I really like it as a neutral, especially for spring.

I used to be scared of boyfriend jeans and thought they would make me look big. Now I have a few and love them!

I have adored these jeans since I saw them on your Facebook page, oh I want so badly. We have gap here but not old navy and the shipping is ridiculous. So I'll have to wait for someone else to bring them out.

I love how you styled the orange blazer for a casual look. Love the addition of the scarf and great clutch. Have a great weekend.

I'm so glad you shared! I need a few pairs of pants to fill in that postpartum awkwardness and I love that these don't cost a lot! Off to order a pair now. . .

Yes, I love the look. But I am clicking NOW to get the cleaner. I've been using method on mine and I don't think it is ideal. Thx for the tip!

You look amazing! I don't think you can go wrong with BF jeans...especially how you paired with a great jacket & scarf!

Girl, you inspired me...I got a pair from Gap. They're definitely not as flattering as a dark wash but they're cool and very in style. Love how you styled em.

And they are now in my online cart...Heart you! xoxo
