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?

Even with all the fancy brands out there, I don’t think I’ve ever found jeans that fit me as well as the ones from American Eagle. Luckily for me, because they are cheap!

So I probably haven’t worn jeans in 2 years, something about the Honolulu heat makes my hair frizz just thinking about it…..but this look totally makes me wanna break out my jeans!

I adore jeans. The ones that I normally wear are my 7s, Citizens, and Rich and Skinny. I like the Matchstick jeans from JCrew. They are comfortable, and I got them from the JCrew Outlet for $30 plus a 10% student discount. Not bad for jeans that are about $100.

love this look. I’m a blazer and jeans kind of girl. I really love my rag & bone dark skinny jeans and my Levi’s skinnies. I am unbiased when it comes to brand, I just buy what fits me.

I love jeans and a blazer! I find that skinny jeans fit well. I recently bought a pair of AG non-skinny jeans that are SO comfortable!

I happen to be OBSESSED with all things denim! I have way too many pairs of jeans…and jean shorts, jean jackets, the FINALLY popular again denim vest…etc. My favorite brands for fit would have to be 7 For All Mankind and Paige Denim. I love Frankie B’s for their unique pockets and I love Citizens for wearing out at night….I work for a denim company and can give pretty advice on pretty much anything in this department. XoXo

You have no idea how much I love this outfit. It’s classic, chic, and sophisticated; but incredibly trendy and laid back at the same time. And with your slightly tousled hair? It’s very beachy. So amazing!

I am not a denim snob, so I wear anything from cheap Old Navy jeans (seriously one pair I have is the most flattering ever) to reliable Mavie, to stretchy Forever 21 jeans to Hudson or Adriana Goldschelger or however you spell it if you must have high-end I reccommend Hudson though, I love their style. I have yet to try anything new or too expensive though – for my horrible lower body, if it looks good I’ll take it, I don’t care if it’s a no-name brand or not!

I love the fit of Joe’s! Seven’s and True Religion’s are great too, but I also have to get alterations done : (

I LOVE this outfit….so great!
I swear by Hudson jeans. They are so comfortable (I often lay around in them during the weekend in place of sweats) and really flattering!

I’d like to know as well! I hate denim and rarely wear it, but I’m curious to see if anyone knows of a good brand. I’ve heard J Brand jeans are quite nice, and I like my pair from American Eagle…

My new fav way to wear them is almost exactly like you… rolled up like that, their super comfy & will go with anything!

Mek and Rock&Republic jeans are my faves. I also think BigStar jeans fit nicely and make the bum look awesome.

Love the outfit. You should check out Paige Denim. I think that we have a similar body type, and Paige are definitely the best fit for me.

:::swoon:: jeans! Love,love,love jeans! So love the look Emily! I am new to your blog- first time postellet here; my fav jeans: my own! I distress and graffiti, vintage denim (levi’s)! Wear jeans with pearls or wear vintage chiffon victorian blousy blouse OR rock a vintage 20′s flapper dress all over jeans…with modern sexy heels- marni, chloe or whatevah you have in your fab closet that screams “modern” to set the look forward! Shalom- Elizabeth. P.s. Can’t under estimate the power of exclamation marks!
