Tips for looking your best in wide leg jeans!
•Create balance by wearing something fitted or cropped on top. You want to create balance and definition.
•Accentuate your waist by either tucking in your top, or wearing a shorter “cropped” top. A belt will help add definition.
•A pointed toe shoe helps elongate the leg. Avoid anything chunky that will only create more heaviness on the bottom.
•If wearing a sneaker, opt for one that is streamlined and low profile.
•A cropped jacket works best so as to not create more volume. If you need to wear a jacket that covers your butt, I would opt for a longer jacket, not mid length.

Yes, this is an investment piece.  But as you can see, it’s so versatile.  It can be worn so many different ways, from a casual get-together, to work, to brunch and to date night.  

I love the fact that you can change out the Dickey inserts and change the entire look.  You will have this in your closet forever.  

As for sizing, I am in a 2 which fits me perfectly.  I will not be wearing anything under it other than a lightweight top.  So, you may want to size up if you plan on wearing something heavier.

No more skinny jeans with low shaft ankle boots!  You don’t want that awkward gap of skin between the jeans and the boots (but let’s keep it real—if that’s your vibe, you do you!).

Here is a round up of some of my favorite ankle boots with a taller shaft, and some of my favorite cropped jeans.  As a side note, the more narrow the shaft, the better. It’s just a cleaner look under the jeans.

My jacket is an XS, and I’m wearing a 25 in the jeans. My exact shoes are final sale, but they fit very TTS. I always wear a 9, and mine fit perfectly !

I have ALWAYS loved clothes. ALWAYS. Fashion is such a big part of who I am. I love expressing myself through style. But I have not always understood my style. 

For so long, I thought that to be stylish, I had to be wearing the latest trends, and basically what everybody else was wearing. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a good trend. But I finally realized I had to incorporate the trends to fit my own style and what I felt good in. 

For example, when the prairie dresses were so popular, I bought a few of them. And I felt absolutely ridiculous in them. I can remember having one on at an event, and all I wanted to do was hide. So many of the other girls had them on and looked adorable. But I felt stupid. It wasn’t my style. Lesson learned. 

My point is, if you don’t feel confident in what you’re wearing, then you’re not showing up for yourself. So wear what makes YOU feel confident. And that means wear whatever the hell you want—as long as you feel good in it. Don’t worry about what everybody else is wearing. We are grown mature women now. We don’t have to worry about “fitting in” with the crowd. Just the opposite. We should be strong independent women who aren’t afraid to stand out!

Enough of my rant!! Don’t miss out on these jeans!! They are on sale until August 3rd for $43!!! They are TTS (I’m wearing the 25). This blouse from Sold Out NYC is a classic. It’s 100% cotton and feels like butter. I wish I had sheets that felt like this!  I’m in the XS (it’s oversized).

Some tips on looking better in shorts. These are true for any inseam whether short or more of a Bermuda style. 

1. High-waisted and fitted at the waist. This wi elongate the legs and create waist definition. 
2. Leg room—this is super important!  A wider opening is so much more flattering than a tight fitting pair that cuts your legs off. 
3. An a-line pair that is cut on an angle—very flattering. 
4. A low heel as opposed to a flat will also help elongate your legs. 
5. Body makeup. This stuff has come a long way. I would have demonstrated it but I bought the color I have in the winter and the shade doesn’t match my legs now. 
6. Illuminating body oil. It doesn’t have to be greasy or overly sparkly/shiny. A subtle glow will enhance the way the light reflects from your skin. 

I’m linking my outfit, plus other shorts that I think are super flattering!

The sweet spot for your cropped jeans is just above your ankle bone at the smallest part of your ankle. This is the most flattering length and will work with all of your shoes  

If they’re too long, you lose the intent of even wearing a cropped jean. If they’re too short, they cut you off and make your legs look short (and is frankly an outdated look). 

I’m linking some of my favorite cropped jeans, including my top, belt & shoes!

Instead of a painted on skinny jeans, think about opting for more of a “slim” fit for an updated look. Look for a slightly bigger leg opening that you don’t have to wiggle your feet to get out of 😆. Style with a taller boot and an oversized blazer or jacket

A monochromatic outfit always works. You will always look put together. Every time

An easy formula for getting dressed is the 3 color rule. Keep your outfit to no more than 3 major colors to keep your outfit from getting too busy. This way you will always look put together!

My sweater and tank are Jcrew, and my jeans are from Joe’s. My leopard bag (which is ahhh-mazing) is by Parker Thatch. I’m linking my jewelry as well! (Unfortunately I can’t link my Sneex here)

I’ve been asked several times where your cropped jeans should hit. The answer:  just above your ankle bone at the smallest part of your ankle. It makes your legs look leaner because it’s showing the thinnest part. 

BEFORE you cut the jeans, make sure you wash them first because they may shrink some. Then, measure how much you need to cut, and make sure you use a pair of sharp scissors. It doesn’t have to be perfect because they are frayed. And to get the fraying back after cutting, throw them in the wash & dryer!

My top from JCrew is on sale!  It’s got a nod to the Wild West with the front pockets, pearl snaps, and yoke in the back. 

I love the look of denim on denim, and no the colors don’t have to match. My top is lighter than my jeans, and it still works. 

My jeans are by Mother, and I found them at Tuckernuck. They are the dazzler fray cut. 

My shoes are old, but I’m linking some that are very similar!

Don’t be afraid to try the denim on denim trend, aka Canadian Tuxedo!  It’s so easy to style. The denim shades do not have to match. You can try different shades and different textures. But you can also do matchy matchy with the shade. 

Any color shoe and belt will work. And any color bag will work as well. 

There are no rules!! 

My top from JCrew is on sale, and has a nod to Western wear with the front pockets and pearl snaps. 

My Mother jeans are old, so I’m linking similar pairs. 

I can’t link the Sneex, but I’m telling you, I LOVE them!!
