When I was seventeen I completely swore off jeans, I don't know why, I just hated how they made me legs look and because I'm so short the styles I wanted just never fitted me right. The leg was either too long, they we're too baggy on my waist, or just simply didn't fit over my bum without being two sizes bigger than I needed which is an obvious no. I hated jeans, they constricted my legs so I never wore them, it was always leggings, tights, dresses, a weird phase that only recently I've come out of if I'm honest. I bought a pair of high waist jeans from Topshop a year or two ago and they are my GO TO pair of skinnies and I've never been able to find anything like them in another store. Top shop supplying the perfect skinnies is no secret as everyone I meet has that one amazing fit pair, but it's made me really...hesitant to try anywhere else. The only other style of jeans I like to wear are 'Mom' jeans purely because they're meant to be loose and high waist, so when I came across these 'Booty fit' style jeans in H&M I freaked and bought them two seconds after they were put out on the shop floor. They are the most comfortable jeans I've ever owned which I've been wearing pretty much all winter, a statement I never thought I would say after hating jeans for years.
I really don't know where this comfortable style has come from, literally a couple of months ago in Autumn I was constantly in dresses, floral print and tried to not wear tights until the ground was covered in frost. I love wearing long floaty skirts or dresses (like I mentioned in my last post) but the second it turned winter I threw them all in the wardrobe and have lived in my jeans. Despite jeans being a casual piece, I've loved dressing them up as I love anything that brings in my waist! I instantly feel better about what I have on when I pair the jeans with a belt and some boots, even heels when I've been going to a bar! Jumpers, fancy tops, which is why I was incredibly happy when Rosewholesale got in contact and sent me this beautiful ruffle blouse*! If you followed my blog back in summer and saw the majority of my fashion posts, I wore to death off the shoulder dresses! They were so comfortable in the heat and I styled them with some loose, gothic jewellery or tight chokers! I lived in them all summer, so to have an off the shoulder piece back in my life has made my winter. With wearing high waist jeans I've wanted tops or shirts which hold all the detail up top, because I always tuck them in with a belt. These jeans are way to big for me but I wanted them to have a baggy leg (and to fit over my bum nightmare) so the tops I edge towards always have fun details up top. I love how this blouse not only has an extra frill layer running around the back of the top, but a button down feature! It's super smart whilst also being dressy, I can't wait to dress this up more in warmer weather, but for now I'm loving giving it a more gothic look.
How would you style an off the shoulder blouse?
Thankyou so much Rosewholesale for sending me such a beauty!
