Muscle Tank and Mom Jeans

 If you've been following me for a while, you know that I love a good classic look. I think it's important to have pieces in your closet that will never go out of style. On the flip side though I love a good trend. I think this look checks both those boxes. 

These jeans are easily my favorites and I find myself reaching for them more than any others in my closet. I really love all my denim from this retailer, but especially these acid wash mom jeans. 

That's easily the classic part of this outfit. The top is also classic, but if you look closely it has shoulder pads... and that's the trendy part. 

This is such a great tank to have in your closet. I will easily be pairing it with denim, skirts and shorts all summer long. It's also really good quality at an even better price point.

The Classics

 Being a fashion blogger is all about showing new trends, different ways to style things and sometimes really stepping out of your comfort zone. While all of that is fun, I think it's important to go back to the basics from time to time. And that's just what I'm doing today. 

When I was searching for a white button-down dress for this outfit I decided I also needed a new white button down. I have a linen one and a more fashion/trendy one so I decided to add a true Oxford style shirt to my collection. This one is so crisp and classic. I will definitely be wearing it for a long time. 

While planning outfits one day I thought what is more classic than a white shirt and jeans? Since I hadn't shared a true closet staple/basics post in a while I thought this would be perfect. I paired it with my favorite mom jeans and a pair of nude heels. I kept my accessories and lipstick very minimal as well. 

Overall these are all pieces I think everyone should have in their closet. Even if they aren't these exact jeans or these exact heels. Every gal needs a good white button-down, a good pair of jeans and a classic nude heel! 

I do want to say that sadly my exact shirt is sold out. This retailer always sells out so fast. However, I have linked a ton of very similar options below.

What are some of your favorite classic pieces? I obviously love these pieces and a good leather jacket. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I appreciate you stopping by today! 

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.
