Come spring, I often find myself wanting to just...lighten up. Lighter skies, lighter mind, lighter colors. And this year, I've been really drawn to denim in a hue that I've started thinking of as, "true blue". True blue jeans aren't light wash jeans, but they're not navy, either. They're just a really pretty shade of real, blue-jean blue.

New denim brands can be a tough sell, especially at first.
I hadn't tried AGOLDE jeans until a few years ago, unsure of fits and washes (I'm picky about those), and I had been solidly relying on my go-to brands like Levi's and Madewell. But being someone who doesn't happily stay in any rut for long (variety being the...
Abercrombie has really come out swinging in the past few years, particularly in their denim department. A brand that I *thought* was just a strong smelling memory of my childhood made the ultimate Justin Bieber move and reinvented themselves, now gaining just as much, if not more, love and admiration for their clothes (and not just from teenagers).
The Ultimate...
I knew I would love these skater jeans the second I saw them online. With a rating of 4.6 from over 50 reviews, these jeans are SO good, you guys. I had high hopes when I ordered them, and when I felt the fabric in my hands, I was like yaaaaaassss.

When I saw my face in some of these photos, I laughed out loud. You can't fake that attitude, people -- I legit felt like a total badass in this outfit.
Ripped jeans, leather moto jacket, heels and sunglasses...this is what I'd wear every. Single. Day. If I could.

As I mentioned in an earlier article, My 5 Most-Worn Pieces This Fall, I'm a girl who loves a uniform. Once I find a combination that works...I werk it.
HA!
Just kidding.
But in all seriousness, having some sort of formula (these straight-leg jeans with this type of shoe) does help me get out the door faster, while still feeling like myself....
Ultimately, I'm a pretty boring gal, fashion-wise. I tend to find my uniform and wear it to death. In the winter, it's a black turtleneck and jeans, in the summer it's a linen Reformation dress, and in the fall (or spring) when the temps are wildly fluctuating, I tend to flop around with a random assortment of pieces until...
The '90s are back, baby, and I. Am. Here for it. Give me all the '90s trends from back in the day: chunky shoes, relaxed denim, dark lipstick....I love it all.
But this time, I'll be wearing '90s style in a less-grungy, more-sophisticated way.

While we've spent the last several years convincing ourselves that joggers, are, in fact, real pants...I've pretty much ignored sweatshirts. Every once in a while, I'd layer a hoodie under a leather jacket or something, but the vast majority of my sweatshirts were worn strictly as loungewear or post-workout whatevers.
I took the name 'sweatshirt' v. literally.
Oh, Hey!...
I ran across this gorgeous ivory blazer from Ann Taylor when I was recently pulling together my spring and summer workwear capsule. Being the blazer fan-girl I am (and I don't just mean the Portland basketball kind) I had to try it. Turns out it was worth the try! Wowza. I love it!
