thank goodness the day is 24 hours long. i had this extensive plan to get things done today and right now i'm sitting here... looking like... well it's actually irrelevant. ANYWAY---it was a good week! it consisted of-

<<studying for exams.

<<washing hair 'no poo' style.  you know you're curious.... http://www.coderedhat.com/no-poo/

<<getting pulled over for having a break light out. (honestly, it's not like i'm constantly checking my break lights, i'm rarely ever back there. so don't act so surprised when i say "oh my heavens, officer, i had no idea!") give me a break....... (hahahahahahahahaha).

<< and eating frozen yogurt for dinner.

 

kachow!

 

this week i wanted to talk about one of the 8th necessities every woman needs in her closets. last week: the all black outfit. today: the perfect pair of jeans.

 

when i was 16, i started working at one of those clothing stores where you sell/trade your clothes for new ones. so as you can imagine i was -constantly- (hahahahahaha, understatement) buying new clothes. i can honestly say that i didn't wear the same outfit twice my junior year. (it's because of this that i had to quit my job and move to CA to save $$ for college...) at that time i had 17 pairs of jeans.

 

let me be the first one to say that {{17 pairs of jeans .... EXCESSIVE. crazy.}}.

 

right now i have 3 pairs, and i can honestly say that they make it into every rotation. why?? because, i love every pair. they fit perfectly and i have a pair for every outfit that i can come up with. i have boyfriend jeans that are worn, black, white and these babies....

 

 

these are my favorite. they are from gap. they are NOT skinny, they are NOT boot cut, they ARE straight-leg. parisian chic says, " one things is for certain: straight-leg jeans are without a doubt the most timeless cut of all. the parisian's favorite shape is easily worn with anything."

 

so there we go. if it's the parisian's favorite, it's our favorite;)

since i've purchased these jeans, i've lost a little bit of weight, so they ride a little lower and are not too tight in the thigh, which makes them perfect!

necklace & yellow stripes: f21, chambray: nordstroms, bag: target, jeans: gap, shoes: clarks.

 

i know that jeans come in lots of colors. but may we advise (by we- ignes & myself, i refer to us as a team because in my dreams we are), washed, dark, white and black. if you stray from the path.... well, we'll throw you a rope;)

 

never forget that the days when we try the hardest are the days when it most likely won't work out. isn't that annoying???? but seriously, on the days when i really think about what to wear, i always end up being totally annoyed at myself by the 2nd hour of the day!

 

just pull it out of your closet, pull it out of your drawer, pick the most random necklace and head out the door. (dr. seuss would be proud!)
