I can't think of anything more comfortable (for going out of the house) than boyfriend jeans and a tee. I resisted this type of jeans for a long time because of the distressing and I had a hard time with fit, but once I got over the distressing and found this fit from Loft, I fell in love. Over the past year, these have become a favorite. Add a pair of cute shoes and you even look like you put some effort into getting dressed.
 
I wore this tee last fall with a cardigan, jeans and sneakers.
 
 
 
And I've also worn it with a skirt.
 
 
 
I'm not much into plain tee shirts but I love a good graphic tee.

You can tell a few things from my photos and posts. 1- it's been a bit breezy in the afternoons (photo 3) . 2- I'm still a little behind on posting last months outfits. 3- I really like these nude shoes from Payless.
 
These shoes are like my summer go to version of black pumps in the winter. I'm sure the black pumps appreciate the break.
 
I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

Belted cardigan

I have decided that the belted cardigan look is not for me. I've tried it a couple of other times and it just does not flatter. I have a short torso and belting a cardigan tends to emphasize that and make me look thicker. If a cardigan doesn't lay nice and smooth it adds more rolls and bulges. Who wants that?
 
I could have ditched this post but I decided to share it anyway because the outfit idea might still work for someone else. It might also help someone evaluate what works or doesn't work for them and why. I love this look on others. 
 
What fashion trend or practice works or doesn't work for you?

I have worn this blouse a couple of times with coordinating blazers but it's so cute, it needed a chance to shine on it's own. I paired it with cobalt pants for a church outfit. Minus a blazer, this wouldn't go over well at work but I loved it this way for church or for a lunch or party maybe. The back has a cute little tie detail that always gets covered by blazer.


Here are the last two ways I wore the top:
