I recommended these at full price. Now they're on sale at Nordstrom — 30–60% off.
This is my Half Yearly edit — the Agolde jeans I've worn on repeat all summer, the polka dot dress that built two of my trademark travel capsules, the Jacquemus bags from my wardrobe checklist, the shoe trends I hunted down, and a few insider finds your algorithm will never show you. Every piece was styled, recommended and worn by me before the markdown hit.

Light wash jeans and jelly sandals — it’s been 40 years and I’m reliving my childhood in the most flattering summer combination.

The most flattering jeans for any body type start with one measurement — your rise.

Rise is the distance from your center crotch seam to your belly button. When this number is close to your jean's rise measurement, the fit changes everything.

I'm 5'4" wearing a size 25 in the Mesmerized color. I've worn this pair more than anything else in my closet since I had them hemmed. Links are in my LTK. Comment JEANS and I'll send you directly to them.

light wash jeans and shoes — the color rule every stylist knows

Self-proclaimed jean snob and stylist for over half my life. 20 years in a Nordstrom fitting room. This is the combination I corrected more than any other.

Black shoes with light wash jeans. Stop. Black shortens your legs, looks frumpy, and is the least flattering and most predictable choice you can make with a light wash. Warm tones, tan, brown, nude, and clear are current, elongating, and actually work.
