Are skinny jeans dead?

February 19, 2016

Flare Jean TrendUnless you’ve been living under the proverbial rock for the past decade, you know that skinny jeans have been ruling supreme in the denim world.  Love them or hate them, they seem to be devisive (perhaps it’s the name?); but they’ve been the denim style of choice for, well, most everyone.  First came the introduction of the boyfriend jean, which freed our legs from the constraints of the skinny jean but left us feeling, well, a bit sloppy.  But the continued and increasing popularity of the flare, wide-leg, and cropped bootcut (oh….yes) is making me wonder if I will ever stretch, pull, and plié into another pair of skinnies again.

Flare Jeans & ClogsMadewell

I am a child of the 1990’s; therefore, the resurgence of relaxed fit, wide-leg crops, and flares are totally nostalgic.  In addition to the cuts, even the washes are reminiscent of the decade.  Distressing has been in for years now, but now true blue denim or even acid-like washes are seeing a comeback.  And, the undone hem (like you cut it or let it out yourself) is huge for spring.  Again, didn’t we all do this to our older brother’s jeans??

AB30-015_PRODUCT_ANINEBING_copy_1024x1024Anine Bing

Girlfriend (aka. Mom Jean): These jeans feature a slimmer cut and higher rise than it’s slouchy cousin “the boyfriend” jean.  However, a relaxed fit is key to pulling off the “model off-duty” look.  Pair with everything from sneakers to a heeled ankle bootie; however, just make sure that your upper half doesn’t have too much volume, otherwise your overall appearance could seem too “carpool frazzled.”  Perfectly paired with crop tops and body suits (have I lost you??).

Flare: Nothing can make you feel more confident than a great pair of flare jeans.  Slimming and leg-lengthening (always worn with a chunky heel), they’re perfectly paired with fitted tops, tucked-in blouses, and cropped sweaters.  Go for the total 70’s vibe and wear with a great pair of wooden-sole clogs or sandals.  Or a simple boot or heel will do (nothing too dainty and never a flat), the hems of these jeans should almost skim the floor.

_8892327(1)Current/Elliott

Cropped: straight, flare, and wide-leg – you name it, it’s cropped! Perfect to show off a little more skin during the coming spring and summer months or easy to wear now with your favorite booties (no cuffing required).  I’m loving mine with sneakers (obviously) or oxfords for a preppy take on the trend.

Wide-Leg: Your legs will never feel so free.  A wide-leg jean should have a higher-rise, meeting at your waist.  Accentuate a little middle by tucking or wearing a fitted top (short-sleeve turtleneck…those are back too!).  Again, as with flares, you’re always wearing these pants with a heel and the hem should nearly graze the floor (otherwise all leg-lengthening benefits are null and void). I’m loving the tie-belt of the pair pictured above, but also would be awesome with a show-stopping belt.

What I’m Lovin’: Shopbop Friends & Family Sale

October 14, 2015

FP_sb_20151013_friendsfamily_1-0

Exciting news, especially for your fall wardrobe!  The Shopbop Friends & Family sale is live now thru October 15th.  This is a great opportunity to stock up on basics as well as invest in pieces, such as coats and boots, that will see you through the season.  Hurry, prices go up in 2 days and inventory is limited.

Even if you can only dare to flare…

September 30, 2015

 

how to style flare jeans for every day

Kirsty is back today sharing tips on how to make fall’s 70’s revival relevant for everyday wear…with flare.

Maybe you’re not quite ready for fringe or suede or over-sized floppy hats?  Just you wait.  In the meantime the most flattering move you can make is letting flare denim back into your closet.  Or perhaps it never left.  You know who you are – you non-skinny adaptors.

Not judging.

Either way, 70’s-inspired fashion is hot this fall, and we are super excited to see major flares back in the action.

These jeans are just a bit tighter up top, slightly more flared on the bottom, and a tad higher waisted than their bootcut cousin.  And super flattering all around.  A butt’s best friend and legs for days.

I Dig Them.

Best paired with a clog or wedge heel.  The exaggerated flare can swallow up your silhouette.  Clogs are a great way to incorporate a shoe with a bit more height but still reasonable for day wear.  No wobbles, no excuses.  We will save all the AMAZING clogs {like these!} we’ve been seeing for later this week.

Don’t forget, the Anniversary Sale opens to the public this Friday (and by “public,” I mean shoppers that don’t have a Nordstrom credit card or choose not to shop the sale during early-access).  More stock will be on-hand for the first “official” day of the sale, so check back then if you can’t find your items or sizes now.

Thanks for continuing to follow along with my favorites-of-the-sale.  Stay tuned tomorrow for my menswear selections! ~Jenn

Each day I’ve intended to post here. I greeted t Each day I’ve intended to post here. I greeted the new year feeling inspired with a renewed intention for my account; to share with you the goodies I love, wear, try. Unfiltered and honest. That’s what I’m here for. But then...2021 arrived feeling much like her older sister, 2020. Instead, I’ve avoided a lot of social media; choosing to tune into various news outlets and into my family. So, HERE WE ARE. A post proving that I got dressed yesterday, wearing some of my new favorites (these @flamingosshoes white boots!) and steady stand-bys (year 2 wearing this @notmondaymercantile beanie on repeat). I took the kids out after school to run a couple of errands and connect with a business I love to support; we made plans for a spring share. Man, it felt good to get out! And now, I’m posting early before I’ve read the morning news. So, it’s happened.

Please stay safe, remain respectful, and true to yourself. Social media is a beautiful way to connect, create, and inspire...but can also be a dangerous rabbit hole of misinformation and an opportunity for people to behave in a way they ordinarily wouldn’t in person. Off my soap box. Have a lovely Friday!#wordsfrommyheart #realoutfitgram #flamingosshoes #whiteboots #notmondaymoments
Happy New Year my dear friends! I’ve missed you Happy New Year my dear friends! I’ve missed you all but enjoyed a nice long break. Heading back home after some snow time and I’m feeling re-energized (for now). Isn’t it funny how a change in the calendar can make you feel different? Are you a “new year, new you” kinda gal or more indifferent? I do like a good reset. Even though we’ll be doing more of the same early this year, I’m feeling more optimistic. For now. Cheers to 2021!

Also, posted in stories a nearly identical photo of us from last January at the top of @schweitzer_mountain. While the photos look the same, it’s fun to think that we now are Sandpoint homeowners! A positive outcome of 2020. #newyearonthemountain #snowbest #schweitzermountain #skifamily
Snow plus a Christmas sweater...I’m checking all Snow plus a Christmas sweater...I’m checking all the boxes this year. Thinking of everyone not able to spend time with loved ones this year. I’m so grateful for our little family but really missing my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, my in-laws.  Over a year seems far too long to be apart; but we all need to continue to be safe. It matters. #christmassweater #christmas2020 #staysafestayhome #vintagesweater
Let’s make merry! Although holiday traditions ma Let’s make merry! Although holiday traditions may look different this year; we have an opportunity to get creative and share in new experiences. Like the new-to-me homemade marshmallow recipe, @thekirstyfiles and I have the pleasure of bringing to you in partnership with @pacific_place. We encourage you to invite a few pals to a zoom date, pop a bottle of bubbly, and create these delicious confections together. I promise they’re relatively fool proof (I pulled them off!) AND a sugar-high afternoon spent with friends (even virtually) will be sure to get you in the holiday spirit! Tune in to Pacific Place’s IGTV or YouTube to see the full tutorial, including my gaff when my marshmallow began moving into the “hard ball” territory (note: this recipe does require a candy thermometer and the ability to read it!). Cheers to making the most out of holiday 2020! #homemademarshmallows #pacificplaceseattle #craftingtogether
Ooooh...how I love a good shopping day with a frie Ooooh...how I love a good shopping day with a friend. The belly laughs, chit chat, and groans (as we tried on a number of jeans) provided the escape from reality that I needed. Sometimes you don’t realize just how much you miss something until you get to enjoy it again!

Other things I love? Soft luxury cashmere, designer denim that fits like a glove, and packable hats (yes, packable!). All can be found @willaseattle; a small, women-owned boutique located in the heart of the Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle. Be sure to check out our stories as @thekirstyfiles and I share holiday-perfect gifts for your sister, mother, girlfriends...yourself! Lucky for Kirsty and I, our husbands also know the lovely owner, Liz (and she has our wishlists on file)!

Also very near and dear to my heart, Willa is the epitome of shopping local. The shelves are stocked with unique, small business designs; including many Seattle businesses. When you shop local, you not only support your community but also curate a look all your own!

Sure, 2020 may be the year of the sweatpant (combined with a sleeping bag-like coat, as seen here). And yes, a mask chain is this year’s hottest accessory. BUT I still take care to actually get dressed each day. And while lipstick may no longer be a part of my daily routine (I mean, was it ever??), it’s still important to be pulled together..if only for my own mental health. And even if no one else sees it but the grocery clerk. #whatmamaworemonday #sweatpantsseason

On the eve of Black Friday sales bonanza, I hope t On the eve of Black Friday sales bonanza, I hope to inspire, remind, urge, and even beg you to ignore all of the crazy cyber sales that have been creeping into your inbox for the past week and instead SHOP SMALL this holiday season. Yes, perhaps it’s less convenient and even less of a “deal” but this pandemic is putting an even greater strain on the small and local businesses that are the absolute life blood of our communities. And, in addition to supporting an entrepreneur and neighbor, you’ll likely find more creative, individual, and unique gifts for your loved ones by shopping a small business.
