I Have My Mother's "Jeans".

Hello Beauties!

   Hope you all have been able to discover some lovely looks while playing dress up in your closets these past few days. This week, I am posting for those of you who enjoy a look that is fashionably funky.
   This week I am very excited to show you two ways to wear a very easy to find "hand me down" item. (RR-Embrace Secondhand). Anything high waisted is one of my favorite looks for this year. Fortunately, most of you probably have a lady in your life who owns a pair of "Mom" Jeans. If you don't, no need to fret, they are very easy to find at your local thrift store. Look for a pair of high waisted jeans in any color. If they happen to have a wide leg cut, here is a quick trick to help give them more of a modern feel.


Step 1: Put on a standard pair of jeans with a wide leg cut.
Step 2: In the back, tightly gather the bottom of the jeans and tie a hair tie or rubber band around the bunch you have created.
Step 3: Roll the jeans up over the hair tie/rubber band.
            Yay! Your look is finished.

2WBT1: Mom Jeans.

1.





Here, I rolled my jeans as earlier demonstrated.  By wearing a unique item such as Mom jeans, you are taking a fashion risk. To add purpose to your statement, be sure to wear colors and pieces that are cohesive. To get this particular look, tuck in a lace blouse, rock some pearls, and add a wide, woven belt. Mom Jeans are an item that look best with a heel in order to give your legs length and femininity. Finding a unique accessory to add to your ensamble gives you an extra boost of style and confidence. I finished my outfit off with a pair of vintage inspired sunglasses to complete my bold statement.

With this, I decided to style a look that is sure to stand out. I have taken the opportunity to display the high waist of my Mom Jeans by tucking in a button down blouse and adding a black elastic belt. Designing and adding accessories that are one of a kind will display intention for a fashionably far-out feel. For this outfit, I have included handmade suspenders (+a), and a handmade bow wrap-around headband (+a). Adding platform wedges in a cohesive color will modernize the look and create a perfect combination of funk and flirtation.

The most important tip to remember when wearing Mom Jeans is to wear them with confidence. They are a unique item that aren't for everyone. However, if you want to be bold in fashion, go for it! Standing out is so much more fun. ;)

Stay Lovely,

Fancy Feet: Post 1.

Hello Friends of Fashion! It has been far too long. Hope you all have enjoyed these past few weeks and have been able to add summer enhancements to your closets without breaking the bank. For me, this past month has been filled with summer events that have kept me away for a while. Unfortunately, plans for a busy August will most likely continue to keep me away. However, it will be an excellent month filled with party planning, weddings, and concerts. As I may be MIA for most of the upcoming month, I felt I should leave you with a taste of what is to come later this year... This post is a preview for those of you who are, what I like to call, "Shoe-a-holics." ;) Sometimes, I find shoes at thrift stores that seem as though they just need a splash of personal adornment. Other times, shoes that I already own begin to seem repetitive and just need a bit of upgrading. Often times, I simply crave a shoe that offers a unique style and a touch of personality. Being a lover of c...

"Dress"-ing Up Your Skirt: Spring Edition

Hello Fans of Fashion! In last week's post, I displayed an item that wasn't as it appeared. This week I was eager to reveal that item and how it can be worn with my  2WBT1  label.  Drum roll, please... It is my midi, flare skirt. Midi flares are a fabulous item to own and are lovely for Spring, especially in the Northwest. They come in many different color palettes, allow you to stay stylish and warm on cool, spring days and can be worn in more ways than one.  As a Skirt. Wear it as a skirt. In this photo, I chose to include items that give my skirt a relaxed, spring look. Adding a loose, cotton blouse and some sandals,  give the look a modern, bohemian feel.  I tucked one side of my blouse in and threw on a scarf to give it that extra layer of warmth and style. As you can see, this specific skirt sits low on my waist and hits me at about mid-shin, making it the perfect skirt to get creative with.  As a dress. ...
