Skinny Jeans, Maxi Dress, Oversized Cardigans, & Scarves!

SKINNY JEANS:  Black, Indigo , Dye washed, distressed . . . I own every variation of skinny jeans ( even though I hate wearing pants sometimes ). They may not be the jean for everyone like me, but they're definitely my go to cut. I wear them with a tank top and sandals, or tucked into riding boots and UGGS  with loads of layers. They are the most versatile item in my closet. My only favorite pairs are from Forever 21 , Levi's & Cotton On. (Very affordable jeans) 


MAXI DRESSES:  This year I really got into wearing maxi dresses most of them don't fit right on my because I am 5'1 1/2 :(.. But I can often be found in a high- low maxi skirt. They're super casual but also dramatic, and if the waist hits just right then I think they're exceptionally flattering, too. If you're short like me don't be afraid to try on a maxi skirt or dress, throw on some wedges or sandals and work that outfit!


Oversized Cardigans:  Whether they're worn to the airport with leggings or layered over a sundress, I love Cardigans. Because I live in California, most of my cardigans are very lightweight. I spend so many nights in tight clothes (jeans, bra , etc.) All I want to do on the weekends is slip into something comfortable. And to my mind, a pretty cardigan is equal parts glamorous and pajama-like.  Loose, tight, cozy, knitted, they all play leading roles in my closet .


ALTERNATE USES FOR SILK SCARVES!
It can get frustrating to keep a silk scarf around your neck right?! so I like to fold mine into a thin strip and it into the handles of a neutral bag. (sometimes, not often) It's an elegant way to add a much of color and pattern. You can do a knot, or a pretty bow-- don't be too precious about it!
Most of the times I use one as a hair accessory. Choose a relatively narrow scarf for this you can use any scarf you want it can be silky, bandanna, or a nick scarf , (if there's too much material it gets a little bulky): Fold it until it's about three inches wide, and then place it in your hair as you would a headband. Tie it under your hair or ponytail and yay!!! You've just created a scarf headband :)
