Denim Jacket Days Are Here!!..........almost...

Okay, so you might not be ready to wear your bikini top under your denim jacket just yet, but the day will come!!.......if you wear a bikini that is. I am just super excited that we are experiencing weather with temps in the 40's here in the northeast. So, dig out that denim jacket! So what if you have to layer a blouse under a sweater in order to wear it. Layers are good! Especially at this time of year :)

Here are some of my favorite denim jacket styles:

This vintage denim jacket from Free People brings back memories of my first denim jacket I ever owned. I was in the 8th grade and my mom took me shopping at the mall. If you live in my town you might remember a shop in the Bangor Mall called Brooks back in the 80's. It was one of my favorite stores and I used to dream of working in a place like that. Those girls behind the counter were soooo pretty and they always looked super chic. Anyway, this is an exact replica of the one that my mom bought me at that shop!

This denim jacket by Moschino is the mother of all denim jackets. There is only one word that comes to my mind. FABULOUS. It is more of a blazer style which makes it more refined. I would wear this with a pair of white or black slim leg ankle pants.

Just look at the GORGEOUS BUTTONS!

I am always a sucker for a cute little cropped denim jacket like this one with a little western flair from Topshop. They look so awesome worn over all of my longer drapey style tops. I also have to say that a cropped jacket can look super cool on some pregnant ladies because you can wear all of your baby-doll style tops underneath and look super chic and feel comfy at the same time!

This little jacket by Vero Moda totally caught my eye. The asymmetrical zipper detailing and the leather patches make this denim jacket totally unique.

See the photos below to see how I styled my own denim jackets.....these are not the only three that I own. I just didn't want to bore you too much!

You can't have too many denim jackets!

This denim blazer style jacket is from Gap.

This is one of my favorties from Talbots. I love the fringe.

This cropped denim jacket is also from Talbots.

Which style do you love? Which styles do you own?

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us. Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus. Here are some of my all-time favori...
