Jeans On My Mind | Style

Such a late post this morning - we all got out of bed late and then a particular dog decided that it would be a great idea to dig in the mud - so she needed a bath, all before 8:30 am - fun times!


Let's talk about an item that's mostly worn in our closets - jeans!  I don't know about you all, but I'm such a jean person and my jeans are probably worn the most out of any other items in my closet; yes, even in the Summer.  I've always felt like they hid one of my body parts that I was the most insecure about which are my skinny legs, and from there grew a love for jeans.


I was always a boot-cut lover with the occasional flare, but lately I've been switching it up with my new love: jeggings!  It took a while for me to warm up to the idea of jeggings (again skinny legs) but now I love them!  They have such a nice fit, and in my opinion can be dressed up a little easier than a boot cut -- maybe that's not really the case, but it's how I feel, ha.  I always buy my jeggings from Express.  I love their quality and they always have a great sale going on which make them even more affordable.

I've linked a few of my favorites below - right now Express has a buy one get one for $29.90 some are even buy one, get one $19.90 on all of their jeans!  This is when I stock up on my favorite styles.


The next jean style I'm going to try, are the flares and girlfriend jeans, - I love how they look!  They'd be so fun to dress up, and the Girlfriend jeans look like the perfect "on the go jean".

As you can see by all of my choices, I'm a huge fan of the distressed look; I have to force myself to buy jeans that don't have holes!


What are you favorite kind of jeans to wear?


Don't forget tomorrow is Wino Wednesday AND the first day of our #LovelyStyledLife Instagram series!  I can't wait to see everyone's posts!!

Have a wonderful day!

I find one pair of jeans and just stick to it LOL - basically skinny jeans from ann taylor have been my go to for a while now! xo, Biana-BlovedBoston

I'm with Biana, if you find a pair you love stick to it! There's nothing worse than going in a dressing room trying on 20 different kinds of jeans! You have me so intrigued about the Jeggings from express as I have always adored their leggings, think I might have to give those a try!! ;-)

Few things are better than the perfect pair of jeans :) I keep seeing flares styled so well that it makes me want to try a pair, but I know they probably wouldn't get that much wear so it's hard to justify the expense.

Since I work at a clothing store where helping customers find the right jeans for their body type is a huge part of what we do, I have to encourage you to try them all! Especially if you're open to different styles. Every brand is different too and fits differently too. Anyway, I'll get off of my stylist soap box now! haha. I had a pair of jeggings that were that Hue brand and they were awesome. Love that distressed girlfriend pair too! I hope that you have a great day today too despite your slightly rough morning!!! :-)

I love jeans! Lately I've tossed my pricey JBrand and Vince aside in favor of American Eagle denim. I love the fit, and you can't beat the price.
Cheers, Emily

I'm all about skinny jeans but I need to try the jeggings!!!

Pamela @ alittleglitter.com said...

My favorite jeans in the whole World are Express. They are bootcut and have just the slightest amount of give. They are so flattering and comfortable at the same time! Express is the best!

I've been all about the jeggings too, I love how comfy they are and they just look neater as they're not baggy/sloppy. Plus they fit perfectly inside of boots or roll up for ankle booties. I've always loved your style, and you always look fabulous <3

i'm a fan of the distressed look as well! don't know why lol. i really need to go into express and try their jeans on because it's been so long since i've bought their jeans but i am loving everything online and basically everything you shared lol.

On a complete whim I purchased a pair of REALLY inexpensive jeans at Forever 21 about a year ago. I have worn those jeans soooo many times and have been completely blown away with how well they hold their shape. Even after numerous washes (and I even dry them, which I don't usually do with jeans), they still look great!

I love the look of distress denim, but don't have any in my closet anymore. It may be time to remedy that!

I really want a new pair of distressed jeans for the spring! Unfortunately the holes are a no-go for the below freezing temps outside!
