Polished Casual

November 7th, 2011

J.Crew Coat, Blouse, Necklace, and Pumps, Gap 1969 jeans, Zara bag

I would never classify myself as a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. It’s not that I don’t like jeans (or dressing down, for that matter), but rather I find it hard to find that perfect pair – that bridges the gap between being comfortably worn-in, but still able to be dressed up with a great heel and a crisp blouse. These boyfriend jeans are easily my favorite pair (as seen here, here, and here), and I love the classic vibe they take on when paired with heels, a striped top, and a swingy coat.

    Great boyfriend jeans. Gap does it up right. The J. Crew heels are great, too. I think Kendi from kendieveryday has them, too:)

    I love your outfit and the pink shoes are such a cute and chic touch! Your outfit would also look cute with a black blazer or a black wrap–it would give it your outfit an elegant and preppy touch :)

    Love the blend of casual with just a bit of polish, the heels add that much needed brush of color. I would wear this in a heartbeat.
