Meet My Bf

Happy almost Friday lovebugs,
One of the items I reference a lot on this blog is the boyfriend jean. I think it's a great relaxed style that can go with a lot of the tops I post. Well today we're going to look at a few that are all under $40.

Gap, 1969 Sexy Boyfriend Jeans, $39

I'm quite partial to this wash because there is not a ton of fading and the darker color is a bit dressier.

Target, Mossimo Cropped Boyfriend Jeans, $24

You really can't beat this price and the wash it great for summer.

Eddie Bauer, Women's Cropped Boyfriend Jeans, $39

A nice relaxed fit in a white wash. Simple, clean, dress up or down.

Old Navy, Cropped Skinny Boyfriend Jeans, $19

Seriously though, $19. You can't pass these up.

Denim doesn't have to break the bank, especially with a more relaxed fitting bf jean. Pick a wash that is fairly consistent all the way down the leg and try to avoid whiskering near the waist.

Zig-a-zig-ah

Sometimes you just feel quirky. You don't feel like wearing your solids, your stripes, even your dots. Sometimes you just want to throw on some zig zag.

Topshop, Rosa Zig Zag Print Pleated Maxi, $96

Oh do I love this dress. The print is smaller which gives the skirt a lot of movement, and the pleats are perfectly ladylike and camouflaging.

Modcloth, Make it Zig Dress, $61

A very geometric looking print is softened by the sweetheart neckline and gathered pleats at the waist.

JCPenny, Mandarin Collar Popover Top, $19

This shirt is great with jeans or tucked into a pencil skirt for work.

Loft, Stipe Print Pleated Summer Stroll Skirt, $39

A great wear to work skirt that hits just above the knee. Oh and the kicker? It's machine washable. You're welcome.

So mix it up when it comes to patterns. Zig zag, chevron, dots, stripes, just have fun with it. If you walk with purpose I guarantee you will only get compliments.

Reader Request: Snakeskin Flats

Today's post is from a lovely reader who is looking for snakeskin flats. She loves her flats and she walks all over the city, so they'll need to stand up in the quality department. Let's see here.

Lord and Taylor, Lori Ballet Flats, $79

I really like this shoe because the ballet flat softens the sometimes harsh snake pattern.

Bloomingdale's, Steven by Steve Madden Ella, $89

I love this shoe because of the classy cap toe. It is a four season shoe.

The Limited, Pointed Toe Flat, $19

A sassy lipstick red snakeskin is something unexpected!

Shopbop, Vera Wang Lara Ballet Flats, $89

A great leather sole goes a long way if you take care of it. It also is very easy to replace after you've worn through it. No need to buy another pair of shoes, just invest in a good cobbler.

Snakeskin is a pattern that isn't going out of style any time soon. It can truly morph into any style depending on the outfit; sweet, bad ass, sexy, or cute.

All in: Beach Ready

Hey there lovebugs,
Happy Monday to you. It's the first Monday of the month which means it's all in day. It's when I put together an entire outfit for under $100. Since it's August, I thought I would try to squeeze in a teeny bit of beach before the summer is over. Here's beach ready for under $100.
