Go-to Tuesday: Skinny Jeans at Old Navy

I'm a huge fan of shopping around, checking out new stores, and rifling through the racks at Marshalls. But sometimes, I know exactly what I need and where to get it. Go-to Tuesdays will be a weekly(ish) feature where I share my go-to stores for particular items.

Let's start off with Skinny Jeans.  Old Navy is, hands down, my first stop when I need to stock up. The Rockstar fit is my favorite (now with some great flares, too!), and I recently discovered that The Diva has a nice thickness to make white pants less see-through.

I've also had good luck with colored/patterned skinnies at Forever 21, although that is extremely hit or miss with the fit. And my newest discovery are the Super Skinny jeans at LOFT.

Style Stalking: Rumpled Plaid with Bows & Sequins

This post, called Fancy Footwear, from Bows & Sequins originally caught my eye because that's the sold out J Crew shirt I spent forever tracking down on eBay last winter! But what seemed interesting to me was that the shirt was clearly not ironed. I thought maybe Jessica was slipping up her game, but then I saw a few other posts with similarly rumpled shirts. The wrinkles are a styling choice for a laid back look!

Low-key Festive

This is what I wore to the last day of school before Winter Break. Thursday was the Holiday Concert, so all the teachers wore their Ugly Sweaters (I wore something very similar to this), so I was a little kitsch-ed out by Friday. I thought this green J. Crew sweater (found in store on sale) and JCP burgundy velvet loafers gave the essence of holiday spirit without being so in-your-face.

Go Together Like A Horse And Carriage

This is an old skirt, and it was in the To Be Tailored pile for a while. I love the look of this length, but it's impossible to walk in! I feel like Peg Bundy, both in style and in walk. I decided to give it one last hurrah before finally getting the snip.

DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS

No theme this week. Here's what I wore to the burbs to go wedding dress shopping. On the surface, it's just jeans and a black shirt. But all the little details make this a little more interesting.

NECK PARTY: DAY 4

Ever since I saw this blue blazer on Yolanda (from the highly intellectual documentary Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), I've been dying for a similar jacket of my own. To my delight, Gap is offering a very similar version in 3 colors - of which I now own 2. Here I am channeling my inner Yolanda, and layering a few bright necklaces to fun-ify it.

LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR: REVIEW

BONUS POST TODAY!

I never used to like wearing collared shirts. I always had issues trying to get the same shirt to fit my shoulders, boobs, and waist all at once. Most of them just made me look butch - which is kind of hilarious.

My mind started changing a few years ago when the Mr and I discovered the magic of Express's stretch version. And I fell fully in love when Jill forced me to enter J Crew after years of neglect and introduced me to the Boy and Perfect shirts! Now, collared shirts are an integral part of my wardrobe and I can't remember how I ever got dressed without them.
