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.
