Outfit: Ombre Jeans

Despite being more of a behind the scenes kind of girl, I thought it would be fun to start doing a few outfit posts here and there – primarily so that you can see how I style my DIY projects.  This is how I wore my ombre jeans (and an armful of DIY’d bracelets) for a work day.  I like dressing them up with simple, tailored pieces… in this case, a blazer and heels to keep the look from becoming overly casual.  Granted, I work for a start-up so pretty much anything goes, but I still try to look pulled together.  On the weekend I’ll wear these with a slouchy tank like this and casual sandals like these.

We’ll talk about the jewelry below.}

{Let’s just talk about this skull ring.  She was a gift, from Plukka.  I love her so much.

The little rings are BaubleBar and Catbird.}

    You are so cute!  I really think I need these pants in my life.  My mom used to be big into tie dying  back in the 80’s… maybe I can rope her into helping me.

    The cutest!! Totally love these pants and how you styled them. Amazing arm action going on! PS: Love those AA tees but guess what?! The lack of cleavage makes the V way too low. Haha. Much cuter on you. 🙂 Happy Friday! xo

      Thanks, Alyson! I know that AA has a crewneck version of the tee, too – you gotta try it!! Or try sizing down – that always helps too 🙂 xox
