Shades of Grey

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

Everyone knows just how essential the black jeans are, and it doesn't even matter what style. Your black jeans can be skinny fit, flare legged, high waisted, wide leg and all are still quite important to building a well rounded wardrobe. Black jeans go with everything but sometimes you want to break free from that tradition and experiment with something a bit more interesting and perhaps a little bit challenging! I'm talking about grey jeans, or the super faded black jeans. Grey jeans have that lived in flair, from the lightest shade of grey to almost charcoal. It's a neutral, just like your black pairs but it adds more interest than by creating a mostly monochrome (similar color blocking) look. Honestly once you learn what works with grey jeans and mix and match several outfits, you will get the hang of it and add it to constant rotation! 

The Essential Black Pants

I love my skirts and dresses, these pieces are the "defacto" feminine wardrobe pieces. While yes, it's quite predictable to find dresses and skirts in any woman's closet, pants are the unknown. Nowadays, most women wear pants but less than 60 years ago women were not allowed to wear pants, it was seen as great disrespect to husbands and men everywhere. Wearing pants said to the world that women could be just as independent and tough, and men were intimidated by it. Fortunately, the movement happened and now ladies everywhere enjoy wearing pants to work, to the park, to school, at home and everyplace in between. I don't know how I could survive without the use of my jeans, trousers, capris, and pants! It's just an absolute necessity to life in 2016 and beyond. What is even more needed to build the perfect wardrobe, are black pants. Even if you're not a self proclaimed pants girl, having a few essential black pant styles will ensure you'll be comfortable and stylish. Don't be so hard on the black pants, they're in everyone's closets and only need a bit of love! 

Denim Heroes

It's finally the unofficial beginning of the Fall season, which means the return of layers, sweaters, and my favorite, jeans. I mean, you can wear jeans all year long, but if you've experienced a Philadelphian summer, you would know exactly what I mean! Denim is never ending, there's always so much you can do to reinvent it, looks good on anyone and goes great with everything. I couldn't be more excited for a little autumn chill and the new Levi's collection!

Every fashion addict probably has a closet full of this hot item, and most likely doesn't need a new pair, of jeans. Although, those baby blues from two seasons ago need an upgrade and this years new denim trends prove to be lust worthy for our closets. This Fall season, denim has improved to  an all new level of chic, gone are the days of your plain Jane jeans!

The Winter Blues.

Top and jeans: J.Crew, blazer, jewelry and shoes: F21

          I love to wear colors especially in monotone and today seemed like a blues kind of day. Monotone colors emit this casual, retro 60's vibe, which I'm all over! These blue jeans from J.crew are currently my favorite pair, so comfortable and it's ankle length, for us short gals that's perfect! Ankle length jeans are also perfect for displaying a pair of shoes since it does not have to fuss with too much pant fabric. If these shoes don't scream out, "Spring!" I don't know what does. Victorian floral prints always seem to call out my name. Wedges are my go to shoe, easiest things to walk in and with a height, I still love my pumps though!

Xoxo,
