Cream of the Crop

I’m not one to try many trends since I tend to be more classic in style, but since I’m wearing more denim than ever these days, I figured why not, right? And, I know for a fact that I can mix my daily uniform of a pretty blouse and flats with them, too. Completely justified. I will say, I’m pretty intrigued with the latest denim trend: the crop flare.

I’m 5’10, so this will either work or not work for me. Plus, I’m not willing to invest a lot until I know it’s a trend worth sticking around in my life. I’ve got these in my shopping cart right now. Have you tried this trend? Are you as intrigued as me? I mean they preached to us for years, “no high waters…” Ha, how time can change a lot. Now I’m really rethinking throwing out all of those jeans that shrunk on me in high school and college. Word to the wise – never throw anything out.

Happy Thursday, Everyone!

High-Rise Denim – J.Crew

J.Crew finally came out with a high-rise denim. And, they come in Tall.  I’ve been a denim loyalist to 7 For All Mankind for over 10 years now, because they fit me so well. But, I’ve had my eye on this pair for quite some time (I’m talking almost a year). I know they’re back ordered, but I may have to just buy this pair. They would look great year round. I know if I buy them that they will be on repeat a lot. I love wearing crisp, white denim in the fall/winter, too. I think wearing white in the winter makes me feel like sort of a rebel. I know, I am dork, and I’m happy to admit it.

Have you tried their high-rise denim? These sold out really quickly, so they’ve gotta be good, right?

 I’m off to celebrate my birthday now! I’m looking forward to a fun day filled with playing with my little one, and then topping off my birthday with Italian takeout & my Mom’s homemade chocolate cake & chocolate frosting with my husband and family tonight! I have been so incredibly blessed so far in life, and I’m excited to see what the next year ahead has in store for me!
