Simple black and white


It would appear that I have been living in these black jeans. I suppose that goes beyond appearances; I have been living in these black jeans.

They've been my savior these past few weeks. I love paring them with lots of black and white and feeling vaguely Parisian and a bit nautical. My go-to splash of color for an otherwise black and white look is often a red lip.
Jeans are always such a trial, and while I realize different brands and cuts work for different people, I'm so happy to have discovered that Old Navy's Rockstar jeans, in the short length, are perfection on me. They don't stretch out after hours, or even days of wear, and can be had quite cheaply if you pick them up on sale. As far as how well they hold up, the last pair I got is nearly a year old and going strong.
