Throwback - Light Denim

I've been a devout wearer of dark demin for as long as I care to remember; the last time I wore a pair of jeans this light was probably in middle school. But every since my last foray into Talbots, where I tried on a pair of fabulous but pricey wide leg light denim trousers (with the rest of my purchases that day the pants were out of the question), I've been looking for a pair that are a little easier on the wallet - and found them at Forever 21+!

I love how long wide leg trousers/jeans make my legs look, and for the wallet friendly price (I can't remember the exact amount, but they're F21+ - aka around $27 at most), I especially love how great this light pair looks!

Oh, and if you're looking for a pair of comfy nude pumps, may I recommend this pair from Bandolino? I picked them up to go with the Adrianna Papell dress I wore to a recent wedding, but have been wearing them a lot since. They are SO easy to walk in, and mucho comfortable considering the heel!

Do you rock the wide leg trousers, or do you stick with straight leg or skinnies? What's your favorite style of bottoms?

Much delayed

Sorry for the blog silence! I had much less time than I anticipated to post this weekend, and I know I wasn't the only one exhausted after losing an hour of sleep! So here's my much delayed birthday work outfit :)

Soo I was feeling rather ballsy being as it was my special day and all, so for the first time ever I decided to rock the red lip...to work no less! I did feel glamorous, but I don't know that it's something I'd be comfortable doing as often as some people. It's just so loud! I think I need to get a shade of red that's darker, maybe more towards a dark wine shade rather than true red. But I did like it and I think I'd wear it again on a night I'm feeling particularly sassy.

I love the graphic print on this buttondown, which doesn't get worn all too often. I really wanted more color in here and was searching through my drawers for my pink tights, but alas no luck so I settled for this textured pair from Target. I'm feeling like my closet is a bit lacking in the shoe department, so I'm going to make it my business to stock up on some fun bright heels (especially wedges) and flats for the summer.

All in all, not one of my most exciting outfits, but I liked the little twist I put on it by pairing the button down under the dress, and the kick of my bright lips. I'm also loving this pretty spiral bangle that boyfriend's mom got me for my birthday. It's from a company called Stella & Dot, which is much like Lia Sophia or Premier Designs in that it's sold through reps at jewelry parties and such, but you can also find their pieces here! I really love their style, it's trendy and cute, but doesn't lean toward matronly like some Lia Sophia pieces tend to do.

These are just a few of my favorites. Aren't they awesome? I would love to layer the heart and arrow necklace together! And the two statement necklaces?? SO fabulous!
