Boyfriend jeans have become one of my wardrobe staples, so I felt it only right to style them for Fall [in California]. I've been wearing them quite often, and there are many ways to style them in a chic way, despite their slouchy feel.
According to my actual boyfriend, "They're called boyfriend jeans, because you wear those when you are comfortable...ain't nobody actually getting a boyfriend in those jeans."

O.K. back to our regularly scheduled fashion programming. First up, we have boyfriend jeans styled for work. Now, I work in a casual/business casual [mostly casual] business environment in California. Have you seen the show 'Silicon Valley'? It's all jeans and flip-flops people, no joke. Oh, and if you live in the bay area and have not seen that show, stop what you're doing, set your TiVo to record it / download it / whatever you have to do, and then come right back. Phew, now that that's settled.
If you're donning the boyfriend for work, I feel like there needs to be some structure to your outfit. I chose to add that structure with a classic tweed jacket and a boxy handbag.

I love the subtle green color of this jacket that adds a hint of color to an otherwise neutral palette.
Comfort is huge to me when I'm dressing for any occasion, but especially for work. How much more comfy can you get than these bad boys?!
I'll let you in on a little secret . . . this is my go-to hairstyle when I have dirty hair. I just let the part fall naturally, and pin back the front [most dirty] part of my hair and curl the rest. Wha-la! Judgment free hairdo.

Up next we have the slouchsters styled for everyday / casual wear. To be honest, this is my favorite way to wear clothing. "Off duty", if you will. I just feel most like myself when there are absolutely zero restrictions as to what I can wear / how I can wear it.
I just love orange. I think it's one of my favorite colors, like ever. It just makes me happy.
I think I have a post back in the day [when I very first started blogging] about this bomber. It is one of my most worn / loved pieces, and for a long period of time I found myself wearing it over and over and over again.
Remember how I said I like to be comfortable and myself? Well, part of that is being lazy. [Hey, I'm embracing it.] These slip-ons are a lazy girl's dream. You really don't have to try at all, and the studs somehow make it look like you did.
“Whatever!!” One of my all time favorite movies is ‘Clueless’. Yup, I’m that girl.
Look who decided to make an appearance . . . Mickey! O.K. I forced her, but same difference.
What I'm Wearing:
Beanie - Zumiez
Earrings, Jacket, and Tank - Forever 21
Ring - Crossroads Trading Co
Shoes - Wanted Shoes
Jeans - TJ Maxx
Last, but definitely not least, we have the pair styled for a night out. For a night out on the town, I'll need an overcoat for walking in and out of places, but I better be wearing something more slinky underneath cuz mama gets HOT.
Wearing black and a red lip is pretty much my go-to for "dressing" things up. Add a pair of chunky fancy earrings, nude pumps, and you're good to go.
I just had to include my baby Mac in this one. I love the way she sits up so straight, like the queen she is.
This is my Inspector Gadget / Audrey Hepburn coat. You take your pick.
I think this outfit would be great for a holiday party at someone's home if jeans are approps, like they are at every one of my family's functions. My dad's even worn jeans to a wedding, but we won't delve into the shame and embarrassment surrounding that here.

Earrings - Francesca's Collections
Top - Supre'

I hope everyone's having a wonderful Sunday like we are. Do something fun outside of the house to get your mind off the pending doom of Monday. Also, let me know which outfit was your fave, I'd love to hear from you! Oh, and for anyone who was wondering, Marley had prior engagements and could not be bothered to be a part of this photo shoot.
Lots of Love,
J
