White Jeans and Velvet Blazer

This is the outfit I wore the other day to work. I love this outfit.  Even though it is a very simple outfit it definitely took me a while to pick it out. The hard part was my velvet blazer. I LOVE THIS BLAZER! I have it in black too! If you don't already have one, you should add at least one velvet blazer to your closet. The thing about velvet blazer is that you really need to be picky when choosing the bottoms you want to pair it with. Personally, I have found that velvet blazers look best with a pair of denim and even with a dress. I don't really like the velvet blazer with any other type of casual pant or pant material.

Sooo, on to the white jeans I am wearing. These jeans were gifted to me. They are cropped and distressed jeans from Express. I also love these jeans. They are extremely comfortable. When I shop for jeans, aside from wanting them to look good, I shop for comfort. Who else has those jeans that make them feel like someone is constantly hugging your thighs and when you take them off you have a sigh of relief? That is not what a pair of jeans should feel like. It doesn't matter if they are skinny jeans or not they shouldn't make your legs feel heavy all day. For style AND comfort, I recommend jeans from Express.

Also, you will notice in all of my outfit posts that I ALWAYS accessorize. However, I am not big on doing too much when it comes to my accessories. I do just enough to compliment the outfit. To be honest, sometimes I put an outfit together and I like it so much that I feel like it wouldn't even need any jewelry. But, of course I use some anyway. It is important to always wear some accessories even if it is just a watch.
