Destroyed Denim Jackets + High Waisted Crop Flares + Clogs | Twinning is Winning!

  I never know when I’m going to get a bunch of images I love…

I swear the more time and thought I put into a shoot, the less chance it has of turning out haha.

This one, however…I could split into two posts, because I got SO many that I love!

Yup, another pair of cut off pants.  Not going to stop, #sorrynotsorry 😉

I looooooove the detailing on the front pockets of these! Not quite sure how to put my hands in them though haha. This location is perfect for us, which is why we come here a LOT!  There are ALWAYS dogs walking by or playing in the field next to us, so Maya is in heaven!  It is sometimes hard to get her BACK into the shots with me, but usually I can grab her for a few here and there. LOOOOOOOVE this next one!

And…I was looking up this top from past blog posts, and saw THIS POST!

OH MY GOSH!  Chunky little Maya!  DYING!

AND!!!  There’s almost an identical image like the one below!

I HAD to put this other one in!!And then….these! LOOOOOOVE! I can’t believe it was warm enough for me to take my jacket off, but it was! DYING over these next ones!!  I’ll be so sad when her gap toothed smile grows back in!!

Silk Top + Flares for a holiday or NYE Outfit

 So, I never posted what I ended up wearing to the Huz’s holiday party.  I had option one (Silk Romper + Booties) and two (All Black!) all lined up, but they both got vetoed in the end.

I ended up going with this one, because it was a little warmer, more comfortable, and could go be seen as somewhat casual yet also dressy since I wasn’t completely sure what others would be wearing.  There were people more dressed up and also more casual at the party, so I was super thankful I went this route.

I never end up getting pictures on the nights I go out, because usually I get ready 20 minutes before we leave.  Then, there’s no time and it’s too dark!  So…I threw on this outfit again when I happened to have day 2 of straightened hair. 😉

It was a WINDY day, and I had about 5 minutes, in an alley a block away.  Such is life…

Could be an inspiration for a NYE outfit??  I will most likely be in my sweats… 😉Blog Ramy Brook Silk Top DL1961 Roxy Born Tortoise Heels-1 Blog Ramy Brook Silk Top DL1961 Roxy Born Tortoise Heels-2 Blog Ramy Brook Silk Top DL1961 Roxy Born Tortoise Heels-3

Not a true “keeping it real” image, except…hi wind!!  Oh, and you can see that I layered a long sleeve t shirt underneath to stay warm for these pictures, but I didn’t really wear that at night 🙂

Wide Leg Denim + Pastel Tops…for the both of us!!

 YES!!  I found wide leg denim for the both of us!!  Thrifting no less! (insert hands in the air emoticon!!)

Ok, but first… It’s really not that big of a feat to find wide leg denim for me.  It’s out there.  It’s popular.  I love it.  Some don’t, so yay for me!  I thrifted this particular pair for $16, which (might shock you) is more than I would normally spend.  BUT…wide leg, fun zipper pockets, and fit almost perfectly, except the length?!  I was sold.  I can’t blame my abnormally short legs too many times.  They do a LOT for me… (fyi, I’m 5′ 8″ and am wearing 4″ heels wedges-GRRRR)Blog Zara Mint Crop Tank 7FAM Dojo Wide Leg Flare Banana Republic Espadrilles-1Honestly, I had thought about pairing this top with a high waisted pair of wide legged jeans, but  then said F it, and wore it with low rise.  Yes, I’m over 40.  Yes, my tummy is a few shades lighter than my arms.  Yes, I kiiiiinda care.  But…no time for all of the above-DONE!
