White shirts...





I have a collection of crisp white dress shirts. Something about them just scream classy to me. I wear them under suit jackets, but also on Casual Fridays with jeans. That is actually my go-to look - jeans, white shirt and black pointy pumps.  Here are a few images of crisp white shirts via Pinterest. What is your favorite look?

Not your mama's jeans......







 I have been on a search for a new pair of jeans for quite a few months now. I probably have four pair of jeans. Two of which are my absolute favorites. Since I have been working out pretty regularly, none of them really fit like I want them to fit. My quest for finding new jeans has finally ended with  a pair from my old reliable - Banana Republic. Why I didn't just start there, I don't know.

The problem I had was the thigh part of the jeans. Just about every pair I tried on had the same problem. The thighs were waaaayyyyy too skinny. I have pretty thin thighs and no hips (unfortunately), but these seemed to hug my thighs like they were painted on.  I am all about fashion, but not at the cost of comfort.  (Exception - a super cute pair of shoes -   LOL) Oh, and I refuse to purchase MOM jeans - refuse.




 The pair I purchased from BR are the Martin fit which has always fit me perfectly. This new pair was no exception. They are SUPER comfortable.

  Have you had a hard time trying to find the perfect pair of jeans?
