Happy Friday friends!
Today I’m styling an easy-peasy casual (but also
day-to-night) look with staples that I’m sure each & every one of you has
in your closet.

For this simple look, I paired a striped tee & a
statement jacket with simple skinny jeans & solid black heels.

These versatile pieces are fun to mix and match and are
perfect for almost any occasion.

We all have a pair skinny jeans in our closet, right?
(Let’s hope that the super skinny jean is a trend that isn’t
going out of style anytime soon. I’ll
gladly welcome the flare & the boyfriend, but the skinny is my go-to!)

Skinny jeans are my favorite jeans for a number of
reasons. They are super slimming for
one, and two: I love the way that they look dressed up with a pair of heels!

This pair from True Religion is a recent addition to my
closet. And I have to say, I am in love with the way they fit around the ankle!
I have inherited super tiny ankles which
can sometimes make shopping for jeans kinda difficult. (Unrelated – but they
are also indestructible too, you won’t believe how many times I’ve rolled them
in a pair of heels with no pain following whatsoever. Thanks mom!)
Anyway, I won’t complain, BUT most of the time
I have to cuff my jeans, because even when I get the hems altered, they don’t
always fit right. This pair though, I was shocked when I first tried them on
and the hems seemed to fall right where they were supposed to.

When jeans are tighter around the ankle, they do a really
good job of showing off your shoes too!

Which is always fun … especially when your shoes are these oh-so stylish chunkyblack heels!

Patrick and I have plans to go out to dinner tonight, just the two of us, & for no
reason at all. We just want to get out and do something a little different. We’ve been together for almost 8 years and married for 2 and a half, and date night still gets me really excited!
I’m sure I’ll wear something super
similar to this outfit. Not too dressy,
but not too casual either. I’ll take any excuse to slip on a pair of heels!

The rest of the weekend is already looking pretty busy – we’re
going to a Friendsgiving party on Saturday & the Renaissance Fest on
Sunday! I’m especially looking forward to rocking a flower crown & chowing
down on a turkey leg at Renn Fest. Gotta
get into the renaissance spirit right?
