If I Was Your Boyfriend

Happy weekend, everyone! Here’s a little something I put together to wear to class earlier this week. These boyfriend jeans were my repeat item (it’s the end of week 3 of the remix challenge…craziness).

I’m pretty excited about these jeans. Why? Oh good, I’m glad you asked. Well, I’ve always been a fan of the cuffed baggy jean look on girls…in theory. But I was skeptical of trying it myself due to my – shall we say – efficient size. Thanks to the Olsen twins, we’ve all seen what few favors baggy clothes lend to a tiny person, and I’m not rich enough to pull off the homeless look like MK and Ashley.

Anyway, I happened to go in New York & Company the other day and saw they had these jeans called “slim slouch.”  At first I thought that was a ridiculous name, because how can jeans be slim and slouchy at the same time? Well, it turns out…like this. They really are slim and slouchy, and I love them! Super comfortable too. I don’t shop at NY & Co. often, but I might have to start buying more jeans there! My pant-fitting challenge (we all have one, right?) is that my hips are quite a bit wider than my waist, so I always get that big gap in the back of the waist band – handy for storing snacks but otherwise annoying. If you have that problem too, you should try NY & Co. (and let me know if there’s another store I should be trying)!

Bloops and Bloopers

On Wednesday night I went to an event with some other fashion-minded Indianapolis residents, and I figured what better time to bust out the boyfriend-jeans-with-heels look. It was a good time, and I got several compliments on my sweater, which just confirmed that I made the right choice in remixing this bad boy.

Also, I am really loving this necklace! I’ve been doing a lot of statement jewelry recently (like yesterday, for example), but sometimes I like to go the dainty route too. This necklace is what I like to call a “bloop.” That’s a very technical jeweler term that refers to a short chain with a small pendant. I got this necklace recently at Forever 21 in case you’re interested. I’m having trouble finding it online, but I’ve linked to a similar option below.

On a side note, I’m going to start posting some behind-the-scenes blooper photos (and there are some doozies) on my Facebook page and I’ll need your help creating “captions” for some of them. Next month I’ll do a blooper reel post with some of my favorites. “Like” Sarah’s Real Life here so you can get in on the action!
