Utility Romper

 If you've been around for a while then you know ya girl loves a good romper/jumpsuit. I would honestly say they are probably my favorite silhouette. 

When I first started seeing the utility romper I thought it was so cute.

This denim one immediately caught my eye and I thought it would be so cute for Spring/Summer. I really like that it's pretty structured since it's denim. I feel like there are so many different fabric options and they all look so good. Mine is pretty limited in sizing so I've linked a ton of different options below. 

I paired mine with some fun sandals and my favorite bamboo bag. You could also really dress it down with a pair of white sneakers. (Y'all know I also have a love for white sneakers. haha) 

Romper: Zara (also love this one, this one, this one, & this one) | Shoes: Shein | Purse: Amazon | Earrings: Target | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Lips: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Prague

What do you think of the utility jumpsuit? I just love how versatile they are and how you can style it so many different ways. I may or may not have more than one in my closet.

Denim

 If you have followed me for a while then you know I’m V picky about my denim! I used to DREAD shopping for new jeans. I have definitely gotten much better in the last few years because I wear them so much more. I recently found a new favorite brand... Abercrombie & Fitch.

I know they have made a pretty big comeback in the last few years, but up until a month or 2 ago I had not shopped there since I was a senior in high school.

I actually decided to try their denim shorts first. (If you think I hate shopping for jeans I REALLY hate shopping for denim shorts.) I had been contemplating pulling the trigger on a pair of Agolde shorts, but decided to try a few other brands before dropping that kind of cash.

I bought a pair of their curve love denim mom shorts and fell in love! After ordering a second pair I decided to try their jeans when they did a big denim sale. I went with the mom jean because I always have a really hard time with that style. It took me two tries because I didn't do curve love, but once I found my size I was obsessed. There are so many great things about their jeans. 

The first thing is their Curve Love line. If you are unfamiliar this line gives you 2 extra inches in the hip area. This helps to prevent a gap. The problem with high waisted jeans is accommodating your hips and sometimes you have to size up creating the gap. Enter Curve Love. This prevents that because you can order your normal size and still have extra room in the hip area. This is seriously a game changer. The next jeans I order will definitely be in the Curve Love line.

The second great thing about their denim is the variety. They have so many different styles and washes. There's literally something for everyone. 

I also love that there are no labels or stitching on the booty. It's weird but I prefer when you can't tell what brand of denim I'm wearing. (Unless it's Levi's because they are a classic.) 

If you haven't tried Abercrombie jeans in a while (or ever) I highly suggest you check them out the next time you're in the market for new denim.

Straight Leg Jeans

Happy Galentine's Day!

It's super late, but I had to get a post up today.

I am really slacking on one of my February goals. :( 

Anyway, let's talk about today's outfit. 

I'm sure many of you are looking forward to Spring, but with all my travel to cold weather and that fact that it's been somewhat cold in FL (until this week) I've been wearing lots of winter attire. 

I bought this vest last year and it is one of my favorites. It was around $30 and looks so much more expensive. (I've been asked more than a few times if it's real.) 

I love that faux fur vests keep you warm without the full bulkiness of a jacket. 

I also want to talk a minute to talk about these jeans. 

I have been looking for a pair of straight leg jeans for a while and these were finally the perfect fit! Since I have bigger hips and thighs it's hard to find ones that don't end up looking like SUPER wide leg jeans. Not saying I don't like that look it's just not what I've been looking for. When I found these I was so excited. I have 2 more pairs in my cart. The best part is they are under $50!!! Do yourself a favor and get you a pair. 

Sweater: H&M old (similar here, here, & here) | Vest: Target old (similar here, here & here) | Jeans: Old Navy | Shoes: Old (similar here & here) | Sunnies: Amazon | Necklace: Amazon | Lip Gloss: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre Lip Gloss in Pillow Talk

What are everyone's plans for tomorrow? Ours have changed a little. We are going to go out for dinner now. We don't have reservations so that should be interesting. I told J I don't care where we go as long as I can have a dirty martini. (They are my new favorite!!) hah

I hope everyone has a great weekend and thank you so much for reading! 

Pearl Details

Tuesday I talked about the ruffle trend, and I thought I would keep the theme of trends rolling this Thursday with another favorite trend of mine…pearl detail!

Just like ruffles, pearl detail is everywhere. I’ve seen it on jeans, tops, hats, dresses, I means it’s literally everywhere. (I’ll link some of my favorites below.) I started seeing these jeans at the beginning of fall, but all of them had a very hefty price tag. When I found these on Nordstrom.com for under $50 it was a no brainer, so I immediately ordered them. I think they have the perfect amount of pearls without being too over the top. It’s girly bu, subtle. I paired them with my favorite white booties and this super warm chunky knit sweater for a cold day of walking around DT Raleigh with J. I also love them with a leather jacket because y’all know I love mixing girly with edgy.

Sweater: Forever21 old (similar here, here, & here) | Jeans: Nordstrom (other pearl pieces more denim, shoes, sweater, beanie, sweater, denim, dress just search pearl detail on any of these websites and so much will come up) | Booties: Lulus | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Earrings: BaubleBar old (similar here) | Lipstick: Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Lipstick in Rose Wood

What do you think of this trend? Do you like ruffles or pearl detail better? (I think it’s a tie for me!) I hope you have a great weekend. Check back on Tuesday for a fun project I’ve been working on plus a GIVEAWAY!!
