TOO SHORT FOR BOYFRIEND JEANS March 10, 2013
I'm short and feel like boyfriend jeans look silly on me. Is there a trick or can I just not wear them?
Anything that hits between the calf and ankle tends to shorten the leg a bit. The trick is to wear a great pair of heels! Most people automatically assume the Boyfriend Jean is a casual look, but that is far from the truth. Most of the trendsetters that rock this look are dressing it up. It's adds an unexpected twist to an otherwise laidback style. So go get that great pair of heels and stack on the jewelry!
HOW TO WEAR PRINT October 18, 2012
I really like all of the new printed denim I'm seeing for fall but am a little nervous about trying it myself.
This is a common concern. Print can be a little intimidating at first, but it will broaden your wardrobe selection once you try it. Most of us are used to the top being the "statement" piece but this season it's all about the pant. Start with a subtle print, like tone on tone or a neutral, and pair it with a solid top.
DENIM DILEMMA October 4, 2012
I love this seasons super flare jeans, but I'm only 5'-4". I feel like I look even shorter when I put them on. What's the trick? Should I stay clear of the flares?
The key is a good pair of heels! The extra boost will elongate your leg and keep the jean from pooling around your ankles in turn making you appear shorter. Also, be sure to wear a more fitted top. One of the most basic styling tips is pay attention to the composition and proportions of your outfit. If you are wearing bottoms that are wider or looser, balance the volume with a slimmer top. You can definitely wear this look!
SILVER & GOLD September 21, 2012
I normally wear silver jewelry, but gold seems to be what is in style right now. Is it okay to wear silver and gold together?
Absolutely! We love mixing metals. The key is mixing a little here and there. For example, if you really want to wear some silver stud earrings with a gold necklace, just throw on a set of mixed bangles that have both silver and gold. The little pop of silver on your wrist ties the earrings in to the rest of the ensemble.
