Shark Bite

April 27th, 2009

Vintage Blazer, J.Crew Tank, F21 Pearl Necklace, Handmade Shark Tooth Necklace, 7 Jeans, Seychelles Heels, Vintage Clutch

Even though I live in Los Angeles, where jeans are the staple of almost everyone’s wardrobe, I rarely wear denim. This pair of 7′s is the one exception since I’ve had them since college and they’re unbelievably soft and versatile. I threw them on with a vintage blazer and one of my new shark tooth necklaces, which will be featured in my Etsy shop later this week.

As a person who hasn’t fully embraced denim, what’s your favorite line and/or style?

Here, in the south of France, we use to wear it very simply: in summer, with a white marcel contrasting with our sun-kissed skin, golden jewels, huge earrings particularly are indispensable, and wild hair!
In winter, many girls wear them with a blazer like you do, a black turtle neck, brushed hair and very high heels!
It’s funny to think most of us here wear them this way… and it’s never boring!

I love the outfit, very simple and…sophisticated-looking at the same time! And that necklace is so pretty!
PS have I mentioned that I love your hair?

very cute. i don’t have a particular jean that i love. i just search and search and search until i find a pair that works for me, and then wear them until they begin to rip (and often, after)!

You look great! I wear jeans way too often, but they’re so easy, you know? Paige Denim is great and Madewell (the J.Crew spinoff) has really nice skinny jeans.

I could wear jeans and a blazer everyday… although now the temps are rising, blazers will be only for evenings out and about or chilly days. Sevens straight leg are my favorite! Actually any straight leg are great – they are the new “skinny”!
you look fab of course, love the layered necklaces!

I love my citizen of humanity’s kelly straight leg jeans. They are perfect for all my boots and ballet flats. Love the necklace by the way:)

Love the necklaces!

I love Habitual and Hudson jeans… they both fit great, even when you’re having a “fat” day! As we all probably know, that’s very important.

I looove the necklace..:)

I love this simple and chic outfit! I also love my good old Sevens…

I agree with Paula…I adore COH’s kelly straight legs. I’m a huge fan of R&R jeans and Jbrand as well.

Love your look. The shark tooth necklace is really pretty and love how you layered it with the other necklaces. I’m so low maintenance when it comes to jeans that most of the time the ones from UO (BDG) work great for me.

LOVE the shark tooth necklace, I may need to own that. Jeans are my everyday staple (sad, but true) and I am beyond picky about them. Citizens for Humanity are tried & true, my favorites, even over Sevens.

Oh my God, girl. Get yourself into a pair of Acne Jeans and you will never take them off. In Sweden (where I usually live), they’re practically mandatory. And for good reason, because they’re amazing and are now the only jeans I wear.

I am not one to spend a lot on denim. Because even the expensive ones seem to wear out just as fast. I get a lot of my jeans at TJ Maxx and always seem to find these obscure brands with great fits and washes. I also am currently obbsessed with F21′s $12.50 denim. They fit me like a glove and have simple detailing (I don’t like overt branding on the booty). I have three pairs, and at that price I am planning on stocking up on plenty more.

Love our outfit. And how do you get your hair to look like that??
My favorite jeans are American Eagle Outfitters 77 Straight. I have 3 pairs. They fit me perfectly and somehow work with flats and heels. They can also role into capris easily. The short size is the perfect length for me (I’m 5’1). For a splurge, I love Paige jeans, but they definitely need hemming.

I am loving Foxy Jeans right now. They’re fairly inexpensive ($70 or $80 CND) and are based out of Montreal. Beautiful cuts and washes.
Love the sharktooth paired with the pearls!

you’re necklace is gorgeous!

Love the necklaces, especially the pearls and the gold together.

you + jeans = anything but typical LA!

Great outfit. Love how the jeans are rolled. I love Seven jeans the most, but I do have some Hudson and Rock and Republic that are great too.

Loving the blazer right now (and always really)…but am seriously craving a black DVF with the sleeves pushed up! Any substitutes you can think of??

Hi there-You look so lovely in this classic, stylish outfit! I love this look, so easy and chic to pull off!
http://polishedlife.blogspot.com Ella
I love your necklace!! And you layered it soooo nicely. It’s not overwhelming but yet manages to have weight and be feminine. Awesome.

it’s so funny how i would solely wear denim in school, and now i can’t remember the last time i wore a pair of jeans. but back then, 7s and Paige were my favorites in terms of fit. Some True Religion fit well, although I can’t stand that pocket.
and what a great way to revamp an old pair of favorite jeans! i’m going to root through my jeans and see which ones i can turn into bf jeans.

oh my gosh you look so cute! i’ve been looking for a blazer like that everywhere!! I’m just not very good at the thrift and vintage stores.
Excited for more items in your shop!!

I find all of my jeans at secondhand stores… but they always look great! Citizens for Humanity wins a gold star for durability
That shark’s tooth necklace is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see it in the store!

I love your outfits and your blog. Your so classy.
http://www.krislynblog.com Kristin
Rock & Republic is an amazing line of denim. Lately, I have become a fan of Joe’s Jeans(especially the distressed ones). I am a huge denim girl!!
http://kec-contentedme.blogspot.com Kristin @ Contented Me
I love that look! I have to agree that my 7′s are probably my favorite pair, although I have a pair of matchstick cropped jeans by AG that I adore and wear all the time. Yep — those are my two fave brands.

I’m not much of a jeans girl myself, but my denim mini gets PLENTY of weekend use.

the necklace combo you have on is fantastic (and i might have to start saving for some 7′s).

Love the outfit! I have a hard time wearing designer jeans as I have a bit of a booty, but I have worn COH jeans before and loved them!
http://redotter580.blogspot.com Julia
What a great combination I love the Shark Bite!

I love this whole style! I really need to get a blazer of my own. But I have small shoulders so I have a hard time finding the right fit.

I’m going to go out and copy that look!
I’m currently loving my Lucky Brand jeans. They make my butt look great and can look dressy or casual depending on how I accessorize.

i love levi’s jeans! american eagle jeans arent so bad either, and they’re rather inexpensive compared to most brands!

I have a pair of 7′s I’ve had since college and I love them. So soft. Cute outfit, love that shark necklace.

I had just picked out my ridiculous lazy outfit for the day when I read this. Then I put my huge U of Oregon tee shirt back in the drawer and decided to wear something cute. Thanks for being inspiring!
