Bringing Boot-Cut Back

I am a devoted denim-lover. I adore my jeans, and I can't imagine my wardrobe without the perfect pair (or three). I was surprised when I did a little "capsule inventory" to discover that once again, my bootcut jeans were one of my least-worn items. I wear my dark wash skinny jeans like crazy, and if they're in the wash my trusty back-up pair are my straight leg jeans. There was a time in my life when all I wore were boot-cut jeans, and I remember buying my first pair of skinnies, thinking "I don't know about this..." At the time I never imagined that they would become an irreplaceable closet staple.

In the spirit of shaking things up a little (and with inspiration from the Two Birds gals), I resurrected my boot-cuts from the back of the jeans drawer. With a leopard print blouse, gray moto jacket and boots, they're perfect for casual Friday. To make this look more date-night worthy, all I need to do is add my favorite statement necklace and a pair of heels.

What's your go-to jeans style?
