Fashion Friday: Edition keeping it foxy
The other day I was thinking about the jeans I used to wear when I was a kid. I’m not sure what led me down this random path, but it caused me to look for Luv-It jeans on Ebay. And this led to a rabbit trail where I searched the internet furiously for photos of Luv-It jeans and couldn’t find what I was looking for. Which what is the point of the internet if I can’t find a photo of some jeans from the 1970’s with ice cream cones or roller skates on the back? Thanks for nothing, Al Gore.
So I remembered that when I was seven years old I was jumping off the swings in my backyard – as you do when you’re seven and unaware of things like DANGER and BROKEN ARMS – when the back pocket of my jeans got caught on the dangerous metal chain of the swing and ripped. As luck would have it, I was wearing my very favorite pair of jeans. What made them my favorite? I have no idea because when you’re seven all jeans look good on you.
But they were my favorite. And the back pocket was ripped. Fortunately, my grandparents owned a dry-cleaning business and my Pa-Pa told me that if I could find a patch then he could fix my jeans. So I found the patch I wanted.
I think we can all agree that is totally appropriate for a seven year old girl.
Needless to say, my patched jeans were the envy of every girl in the second grade because FOXY. I wore them with my rabbit fur coat and I don’t know if I’ve ever been as proud of an outfit to this very day.
On an equally foxy note, I mentioned a few weeks ago that Barrington Gifts sent me the most gorgeous leather tote bag. It’s the St. Anne Tote in Florentine leather and my love for it has only grown over the last month.
And I wanted you to show you a couple of these cute bags they have in summer colors because summer will be here before we know it. It’s true. I promise.
I love the Savannah Zippered Tote in poppy
And the Sonoma Zippered tote in navy
Best of all, you can mix and match colors and patterns to your heart’s content. It’s kind of become my new hobby when I’m not watching The Good Wife or looking for Luv-It jeans on Ebay.
Anyway, here are a few cute things I’ve found this week:
Perfect top to wear with jeans. So cute with cuffed jeans and some Converse tennis shoes.
I love the cut of this dress and I happen to really like this pattern. But it also comes in black if you’re just looking for a simple black dress.
I’m not sure if this is the new version of my favorite t-shirt from Free People or just another version. Either way, LOVE.
How cute is this patterned tote? Plus, it’s reversible.
I think these are perfect for spring and summer. I looked for something like this all last year and never found it and now here it is. It’s like the sandal people heard my plea.
Love this color and think this would look great over skinny jeans or leggings. Or by itself if you’re still in that demographic.
I believe I’ve mentioned how much I like Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper, specifically her style. Although I’m sure I would really like her if we ever met in person because she seems really likable.
The point is I always like to see what she’s wearing and specifically notice her jewelry. The good news is they sell several of her signature pieces on their online store, including this bracelet.
I just thought this was really pretty. Love the colors. It would be great on its own for summer or layered under a jacket in spring.
This caught my eye at Anthropologie the other day. I have no idea if it’s as cute in person but it has potential.
Yesterday I ran in Gap all in the name of trying on a couple of new styles of jeans. Here’s what I’ll tell you…the new high rise skinny jeans? 1992 called and said please don’t bring these back.
But these girlfriend jeans are really great on. They didn’t have a denim wash in the store that I loved, but I really liked the white for summer. They’re similar to boyfriend jeans but a little more fitted. I’m a fan.
And right now you can get 30% off with code JEANS at checkout on any jeans at Gap.
That’s it for today.
Have a good Friday and stay foxy.
