Bootcut Jeans & Sweater

BOOTCUT JEANS & SWEATER — I’ve been on the lookout for flare jeans for about a year. I tried these bootcut Democracy petite jeans from Nordstrom Rack. They are a great deal at $39.97 – super stretchy, soft, and comfy. I like how they looked but, I think I’m in between sizes for their brand so I ended up returning them and continue my hunt for the perfect pair.

Jeans are an item I am willing to pay full price for when I find the perfect fit. Since I only buy a limited number jeans for the season, I get good use out of them. Finding the perfect jeans can be a challenge so I would love to know what brand jeans fit you best. Please share in the comments below.

If you like my booties, Joe Fresh has a similar pair on SALE for $9.94! I also LOVE my tassel necklace. It’s super versatile and I wear it almost every day. I picked it up from Target several months ago; it’s only $16.99. (I’m actually wearing it now as I’m writing this post.)

COMMENT OF THE WEEK:

“Really cute! I appreciate that you had it [pop of red blazer] altered…. bad fit cheapens any outfit it seems. It makes it obvious it was a sale purchase instead of something perfect. You’re lucky to have found a good seamstress. I find it hard and time consuming to look for jeans so when I find ones I like I take care to make them last as long as possible. Black ones are the worst for losing their colour, but I keep mine looking great by adding coffee to the rinse water (good tip for all blacks) and giving them the old Rit dye job when that no longer works. This is a great versatile outfit for so many reasons!” TERESA

Thank you for your comment on last week’s post: POP OF RED BLAZER, Teresa! I think we all appreciated your tips on how to care for dark or black jeans. I would love to get any pointers you have on dyeing jeans.

I wanted to add one more comment because I thought it might be helpful for some of my readers who like the blazers, but haven’t found one that works for them.

“Love this outfit and every one you post and I love red! Wish I could pull this off…..don’t think blazers lay quite right on the busty which I am….”LORI

Thank Lori, you might want to consider trying an open front blazer that isn’t meant to be buttoned closed. A style like the THEORY Lanai blazer made of wool and crepe. (Currently on sale for $110.40 normally $395.) Or the Lanai stretch wool crepe blazer ($395). The angular style can be flattering on a busty figure. Or the Caslon, by Nordstrom, also has a cotton knit open front blazer for $59.
