Mom's Must Have Summer Items Series - Week 1 JEANS.
Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!! Summer has been kicking in high gear for a while now and I'd say it is even more necessary to stay Comfortable while keeping Cool. For the next few Fridays in a row The Beautiful Agnes from Vodka Infused Lemonade and myself will be styling several Summer items of clothing that we think each Mom should own in her closet. =)
This first week we are doing Jeans. Of course, every woman should have at least 2 pairs of well-fitted Jeans, one light wash and one dark wash. But I believe this is even more necessary for a Mom. I decided to show you My Newest Jeans two different ways from Day to Evening. I decided to try a trend that is coming back on Style (from the 80s days) & purchased a pair of Acid Wash Jeans. While they are definitely noticeable, the best part is that they fit so well. And they are like a Straight/Skinny pair Jeans which is my go-to-style when it comes to Jeans.
In the Day Outfit I cuffed my Jeans and paired them with a Girly, Color-block Tee & Electric Blue Jelly Sandals with Neon Circles in the front. I added a Round-Buckle Belt, some Fun, Teardrop, Dangly Earrings (they are very Light), a couple of Fun, Neon Bracelets & a Long Necklace. I even dressed up my Sock Bun with a Silky Scrunchie which ties on the bottom like a Bow. While in the Evening Outfit I left my Jeans Long & Lean, wore the Mint Blouse with Tigers printed on it, an Elegant & Dainty Silver Chain Necklace featuring an Electric Blue Fireball & some Mint, Oval-Shaped, Semi Precious Stone, Post Earrings. I kept the hair in a Sock Bun once again, added in a couple of Fun Glass-Beaded Bracelets and as far as Shoes I wore Heels - Cork Peep-toe Pumps. I also added in an Envelope, Glittery, Faux Snake-skin Clutch. I also want to let you know that almost everything I have on in these 2 outfits is new: the Jeans, the 2 Tops, the Fireball Necklace, the Neon Sandals, the Neon Bracelets, the Ponytail Holder, both pairs of Earrings & the Clutch. So, in a way I am showing off all my New Purchases from June, too. I guess I did a challenge within a challenge and not only did I style my Jeans in 2 ways, I even wore a lot of my June Purchased items. What do you think of each Outfit? Do you prefer the Day or the Evening Look?
And below is a Sneak Peek of how Agi styled her Boyfriend Jeans for Daytime (Running Errands) & Nighttime (Going Out). To see more, check out Her Post from Today at Vodka Infused Lemonade. Of course, Agi always looks Effortless Chic in her Jeans and other Casual pieces. =)
F.Y.I. I am hearing everywhere that as of July 1st Google Friend Connect will no longer exist. I love My Readers & Followers and wouldn't want to loose any of you. So I have created a Bloglovin account. Here you have easy directions for how to move all the blogs you follow onto Bloglovin - I did it too, it was easy. This is the Link to follow me on Bloglovin too - please do. I wouldn't want you to miss out. I promise I got exciting things planned for this Summer and for the rest of this year, including my First Giveaway.
P.S. Linking up with Alison, Amy+Amber, Sherry, Anne and Bonnie+Tara for their Lovely, Friday Party Link-ups.

Aw what a great way to mix up jeans! I love the heels in the night look and that striped top in the day look is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Frannie. I tried. I must say I love both Looks & the Heels. =)

Thanks Sherry. I must say I really like both of these Tops & plan to wear them plenty. =) I love my new Clutch, also. Thank You.
DeleteVery cool you and Agi are doing this :) love the tops you're wearing today, very cute :)
ReplyDeleteGinny
Thanks for the encouragement. I Love both tops, too.
Deletewhat a super fun feature! Jeans are definitely a mom must have. Love both of your looks! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteJeans are an Everybody Must-Have, and a great fitting pair should be a mom's staple.
DeleteGreat post Ada. Thanks for collaborating. What are we doing next week?

Thanks so much Agi. We will have fun doing this, every Friday this month.
DeleteYou look AMAZING for just having had a baby, Ada! You look amazing even if you hadn't! What's your secret?! Just fabulous! I really like how you dressed the jeans up for evening; that's such a classy outfit. Love your style!
ReplyDeleteAwww Brittany you are so Sweet & Kind. You look AMAZING yourself for just having a baby. I don't have a secret. Just taking care of a baby, sometimes not having enough time to eat and quite a few sleepless nights have to do with it. She is all worth it though.
DeleteThanks for all the compliments, on the Outfit too. I had missed seeing your pretty face around here. =)
I am really liking that mint top. I bet it would be super cute with shorts too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ginger and Welcome.
DeleteI have many creative ideas about my Mint Top too, including tucking it into a Colored Pencil Skirt, pairing it with Denim Shorts, White Jeans or White Crops, Pattern-mixing it and even trying Eyelet with it.
Both the day and night outfits are great! I love that tiger print top!
ReplyDeleteI love my New Top, too. Thanks so much Inge.
DeleteThere's that mint top I like again :)
ReplyDeleteI have seen that acid wash is back ! I see you are already sporting the trend-
I guess Acid Wash is back. I have seen it in some of the Trendier Stores, myself. I loved this pair and how they fit me. I figured for a little less than ten bucks, they were totally worth it.
DeleteObsessed with that tiger blouse. Great for an evening look! Thanks for linking up. Hope to see you back Friday!
