I have to admit that the days I wear jeans for the office are easy to count and I pick my days carefully - don't want to be surprised with too formal meetings in my jeans. This is even as my perception is that jeans are considered as more accepted in the business environment nowadays. Do I have to add that the jeans should be dark, and absolutely not a distressed version... One easy classic way of styling is just combining the jeans with a black turtleneck and a black blazer. Classic, but more relaxed … [Read more...] about An Office Version Of Jeans
Skinny Or Flare
Or both? Somehow we are in between right now, it's ok to style with both skinny and flare! Have you ventured into the flared jeans styles yet? I'm still mostly into my skinny jeans but eventually wearing my vintage (old!) jeans with a very wide cut! What I love about my pair of flared jeans is that they are wide over the thighs as well. Personally I don't like the style with the tight fit in the waist and over thigh (and flare at the bottom) as I think it's very hard to make it flattering for the most type … [Read more...] about Skinny Or Flare

The Jeans Story
…or “Is there a special life cycle for jeans?” My answer is definitely – yes! Phase 1. When the jeans are brand new – new cut, and for me that means never too trendy and always in a darker dyed color (nothing too distressed or washed out…) These are my new favorites, I wear them all the time, evenings, weekends, sometimes even to work. A phase that will last for about two years. Phase 2: the jeans are gradually worn less and less. Replaced by a new pair in phase 1. Eventually falls into oblivion for … [Read more...] about The Jeans Story
Weekend Business
... is mostly a casual thing. Jeans, jacket and boots - in a couple of variations - one of them you see here. I do not switch handbags in between days, outfits, styles, business or casual. Parties are the exception - then I love to bring out a stylish clutch. So you can see, like today colors are not exaggeratedly matched. Sky blue scarf, green bag... I could have done it with a green scarf but choose not to. In fact style wise, being overmatched or too color-matched is something I don't like. It tends … [Read more...] about Weekend Business
