Moody Style: Distressed Jeans

It’s very rare for me to find the perfect pair of jeans for my body type.  When I’m shopping for new denim, I usually end up going to several different stores where I try on various styles before finding one that works.  So needless to say that when I find the right pair of jeans for me, I tend to wear them over and over again.  And that’s what happened with these distressed jeans pictured below.  I’ve always loved the look of boyfriend jeans, but I could never find a pair that looked right on me.  That's why I was pretty happy when I found these Tomgirl Jeans at American Eagle, which is more of a slimmer boyfriend jean. The fit, the color, and the distressed fabric turned out to be more than perfect for my curvy figure.  Do you have a pair of boyfriend jeans that you love?  Do you have a pair of Tomgirl jeans? Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Target Fashion

Did you all survive the Lilly Pulitzer for Target sale?  I have to admit, I wasn’t truly prepared for the frenzy and I’m not sure that Target was either.   My store sold out of everything within the first 5 minutes of the doors opening. I missed out on all of the clothes because I over slept and didn’t make it to the store in time to line up – big mistake!  Luckily, I’ve been able to find a few things here and there from returns and a few decent ladies on Instagram not trying to make an extra buck.  I’ll share some of my goodies in a later post. 

I’m not sure about you, but I often forget about shopping in Target’s clothing section when I’m looking for something new to wear.  And I’m quickly learning that I’ve been missing out on some really cute stuff.  I’m definitely looking into grabbing these flats, these heels and this handbag and this tote in the near future.  A few weeks ago, I found this shirt that reminded me of one of Mara Hoffman’s psychedelic prints and colors.  After I tried it on and looked at the price, I decided that I couldn’t leave it behind.  I’m definitely going to check out the fashion section more often so I don’t miss out on any fabulous finds.

Now that we have cooler temperatures here in Florida, I’ve been all about layering lately.  Nothing keeps me warmer on a chilly day than either a wool coat, a down vest or a plaid blanket scarf like the one I’m wearing here.  The oversized style and soft fabric makes this scarf one of the coziest scarves in my closet. I love it so much that I bought it in several colors.  If you’re obsessed with this scarf like I am – check out my previous posts on plaid blanket scarves here.  I paired the scarf with a gold polka dot sweater that I searched long and hard for in the beginning of last year.  And I’m so glad that I did because it turned out to be a perfect match with just about anything that I wear with it.  I also added a chambray shirt, a pair of dark rinse jeans and leopard flats to complete this casual look for any time of day.  What are some of your favorite items in your closet? Or do you have any items that you wish you had in your closet?  Let me know in the comments below.

Moody Style: Cold Snap

We are finally getting another cold snap down here in Florida and I’m really looking forward to it.  I’m already planning out my outfits for the rest of the week as I type.  I know for sure that I’ll be pulling out all of my Zara scarves and wearing lots of sweaters.  We're expecting the coldest weather this season where the temperatures are being forecasted to dive into the mid 20s area wide.  This is a big deal for us down here considering today we reached a high of 81 degrees.  It’s crazy how the weather changes so dramatically.

Moody Style: Vested

Do you guys ever find yourself searching high and low for a product that you become ridiculously obsessed? Well, I have to say that this scenario happens to me pretty often especially when it’s a hot new “IT” item that everyone’s grabbing.  How many stores do you search before you give up on that perfect piece of clothing?

I finally found this awesome utility vest at Old Navy a couple of months ago after walking out of several stores empty handed.  And just when I was about to give up, I found the last one in the area on a clearance rack.  I always feel so lucky when that happens.  Anyways, this vest is fantastic because the olive color is so neutral that it complients just about everything.  It is the perfect weight for the warm southern fall and it’s ideal for layering.  I decided to pair it with polka dots and stripes and I threw on some leopard heels for an extra pattern mix. Do any of you have this vest? What are some ways that you are styling it?

In the Mood: Jenny Bird

My sister recently introduced me to Canadian jewelry designer, Jenny Bird, and I think I’m officially obsessed.  I love finding unique pieces of jewelry combined with exceptional craftsmanship; and this designer's looks fits the bill.  They are truly one of a kind.  The earthy, bohemian and uptown feel of this Bird's jewelry line is just the right balance of feminine and edgy.  I currently own two Jenny Bird pieces right now – the Artemis Collar and Wala Cuff.  And I am currently plotting ways to add more to my personal jewelry collection.  I’m pretty sure my next purchase will be a couple of bracelets because they are gorgeous and they stack so perfectly together.  I’m also crushing on a few more amazing statement necklaces from the collection.  Check out the rest of Bird's collection here and some of my favorites below.  Do any of you have any Jenny Bird pieces?  What are some of your favorites?

“My line was born out of many inspired moments of observation and a calling too poignant to ignore. It was so hard to find beautiful accessories that were fashion forward yet well-made, luxurious yet priced affordably. Few things on the market were distinctly beautiful with a meaningful story; everything felt vacant of soul. I didn’t want obnoxious brands or empty fast fashion. I wanted indie-luxe and cool. I couldn’t help myself but to create.”  — Jenny
