How to Style Boyfriend Jeans

authenb

For some ladies boyfriend jeans may be a bit scary to tackle because they are the epitome of things that are not feminine. They’re not fitted, and don’t show off any curves. Most girls are concerned about looking like a slouch in them but I’m going to show you a way to style them so that you look and feel great while you’re wearing them.

Try pairing your boyfriend jeans with something super feminine! It’s an automatic way to balance things out. For this look I chose a red and white floral top with a front tie. I mean, whats more girly that flowers! This works so well because it shows just a sliver of mid drift which is another way to feel sexy with out feeling over exposed.

I decided on my converse sneakers because I was going on a walking tour in Riga. I also took along a long sleeve shirt just incase it got cool while we were out. This resulted in a cool and comfy look that was fit for being active yet looking fashion forward. Leave me a comment to tell me about your favorite way to style boyfriend jeans, Enjoy!

How to Style a Slip Dress | OOTD

authenb

What’s more simple than a slip dress? It’s one piece, you put it on and you’re done! The worry comes in if you’re not sure how to style it. Here are a few tips to help get you started. 

Slip dresses are extreme comfort wear almost like pajamas, so the materials tend to be on the thinner side. To keep comfortable indoors style it with a light jacket or a sweater. When you’re not wearing it just tie it around your waist or drape it over your shoulders. 

When it comes to shoes you can dress it up with heels and sandals or dress it down with a pair of sneakers. Either way, it will look great. 

Lastly, grab your favorite bag and a pair of sunnies and you’re ready to seize the day. What I like about this slip dress is that it has a nice print that’s not to bright or busy. I’ll be able to use it as a traditional piece for fall. It long enough to wear while I’m chasing my son around too. There is nothing worse than feeling like you shouldn’t bend over to pick up your kid because you’ll be exposed. Although it is a nice length, it has a nice slit on either side to add some interest to a simple dress.

Off the Shoulder Stripes | OOTD

We finally set out to explore the city of Vilnius and boy was it fun! We hiked up to the Gedimino Tower and got the most amazing view of Old Town Vilnius. Everything was so beautiful it looked like it was from a story book. 

My OOTD is an off the shoulder top that I already had and a new pair of classically cut pants from Houston Designer Steve Guthrie. When you’re moving around a lot you’ll want pants that can hold your stuff (deep pockets) and that will stay put (high rise). These were amazing for all the walking I did. I paired my trusty white converse with this ootd to keep it casual. The beauty of this look is that with a simple change of my shoe, it goes from casual to dressy if I need it to.  

Leave me a comment about your favorite look that changes occasions easily with a shoe change. Enjoy!

Cut Out One Piece | OOTD

authenb

If you’re still shopping for a swimsuit in mid July it’s because you may not have found the one that you love or you’re shopping for a special occasion. Here’s one more style of  “one piece” swim wear that I adore. 

This suit provides a monokini look. The cut outs in this one piece give me the feeling of a two piece with a lot more coverage. The top is a halter style with a bit of gathered fabric placed vertically in the center to wake up the black. Of course black is at the top of my favorites list as a color but I Iike to spice it up with texture. 

The bottom is high rise and provides full coverage in addition to being connected to the rest of the suit. A simple hook in the back rounds out the details of this suit. 

Good Luck if you’re still shopping for a swim suit and don’t count out cool one pieces from you search. Enjoy!

Lace Up Swimsuit | OOTD

authenb

One piece swimsuits get a bad reputation for being boring so bringing in a current trend helps keep them spicy. This white one piece is business in the front and party in the back. Lace up tops, dresses, and body suits are alive and well right now so why not bring it into the pool.

This suit may look basic but the magic is in the details.  There are wide straps balanced by a square neck line. Of course the lace up in the front is what catches your eye but don’t forget about the high cut bottom and the nearly backless back. All of these things come together to make this one piece truly stand out. I can’t lie, I feel like royalty when I wear it. Leave me a comment to tell me what current trends you’d like to see in a one piece swimsuit. Enjoy!
