Product Review: BDG Ankle Grazer Cigarette Jean

I don't usually make many purchases from Urban Outfitters due to the exorbitant prices ($35 for a ratty looking t-shirt? No thanks...) But let's be real: there are some gems to be found and they can have some rockin' sales!

How many of you feel kind of nauseous just thinking about shopping for jeans? It's so DIFFICULT to find a pair that fit just the way you want. Will they stretch out? Are they too long? Do they rise high enough for you to feel comfortable in them? Is there any creasing or pulling around the zipper? Blah blah blah blah.

I recently purchased this pair of BDG Grazer Cigarette jeans for $30 on sale at UO. At 4% spandex they're incredibly comfortable but won't stretch out and don't look like jeggings, either. Their ankle length and skinny fit are great for flats or boots and have nicely sized, plain pockets that would flatter any backside!

Plus they have a little Audrey Hepburn sass..

What is your staple denim brand or cut?

Socks For Winter!

Upon request, this next post for winter clothing staples will again regard footwear!

I don't like socks. I hate the way they feel on my feet, how the seam never lines up... but alas, winter requires them sometimes, be it thick wool or just some playful ones to pair with heels and a dress.

To wear under boots:

(DKNY Cable Boot Topper- $24.00)

(Hunter 'Welly' Pattern Cuff Socks- $40.00)

These would be great under regular boots, too!

(Smartwool 3-Pack- $69.85)

Smartwool socks are WARM and they wear well- a seriously good investment!

(Betsey Johnson Sweet Heart Crochet- $24.00)

To rock with sneakers or heels:

(Lace Ankle Sock- $8.00)

(UO Patterned Socks- $8.00)

(Pinky Toe Socks- $14.99)

Or if you're feeling really crazy...

(Unisex Wigwam Socks- $10.00)

Hope this helps keep your toesies warm!

Winter Necessities: SWEATER TIGHTS!

Sorry for the blogging hiatus, I've been feeling really boring and inspiration-less lately.

I've decided to do a little series on the fashion side of winter necessities, starting with sweater tights! They are a wonderful, warm staple to a lady's wardrobe during the cold(ish) months of the year.

They're really affordable and last a lot longer than regular tights. No runs or tears unless you've had a fight with a blackberry bush!

You can go with plain:

(Hue Flat Knit Sweater Tights, $18.00)

Ribbed ones add a little fun texture (that's what she said!):

(Frenchi Ribbed Tights $12.00)

Or you can throw crazy patterned ones under a sequined black LBD for a holiday party!

(Nordic Fair Isle Sweater Tight- $18.00)

Some great places to find sweater tights for cheaper are places like Nordstrom Rack, TJMaxx, or Ross!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
