In the winter, I rotate between jeans, black slacks, black corduroy leggings, and gray sweater leggings paired with a rotation of long-sleeved shirts, 3/4-sleeved shirts, and sweaters in a mostly black, white, and gray color scheme and an assortment of colorful scarves.
The Midwest is cold, even in the spring. The weather in the last several weeks has been all over the place. My clothes have to accommodate an office that's usually cool, a department store that ranges from freezing to boiling, and the outdoors itself.
In other words, I basically wear the same pair of floral skinny jeans almost every day.

These jeans are magical. I started admiring them when I was still working in the salon, but even with a very reasonable $20 price tag, I couldn't justify buying jeans I didn't need. Then I received a $10 reward from the JCP Rewards program--suddenly the price was right! The reward plus my discount took the jeans down to $7.50. Such a steal! I originally went with the size 6 petite, but I ended up getting the 4 regular so I can tuck them into my ankle boots.
I
receive compliments on these jeans almost every time I wear them. I
always glow under the attention, but I also laugh when a fellow employee
of JCP compliments me. They're a.n.a. jeans! We sell them!
Thus I make my fashion blogging debut! Below are just a small sampling of the different ways I style my floral skinny jeans.

So this is my attempt at being a fashion blogger! Do you have any standout pieces in your wardrobe? How do you like to style floral prints?
I really love them with the striped shirt. I also have a pair of floral jeans, I'm into everything patterned, and I'm totally going to wear them that way now!
ReplyDeleteThe outfits I didn't model were with two white shirts with black stripes and another black shirt with white stripes. All of which I wear routinely with my floral jeans. :)
DeleteI adore those as well. I'd like to check and see if JCP still has them. Or if they are in CA. I usually don't go for printed jeans but these are darker and adorable :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm obsessed with them. :) They're sold out online, but I know my JCP still has a bunch of them on clearance.
DeleteI also just bought these ones on clearance last week, and I'm wearing them today for the first time. Sadly, it was cold enough to need jeans and boots. :(
