skinny jeans? really?

I'm not talking about that pair of jeans at the bottom of your dresser that you are holding on to hoping someday you will fit into them agian. I'm talking about the jeans that tapper at the bottom (somewhat reminiscent of mom jeans) that everyone has been obsessed with the past few years. Well I've been a hater of these "skinny jeans" but for some reason lately I've kind of wanted to give in and get a pair!?!?! Weird!

What's your opinion, are skinny jeans a do or a don't? Am I just so past the trend that it's ridiculous I'm even talking about them? I know Emily said boot cut is coming back, lucky for me they never left my closet, but what do you guys think?

plaid and stripes forever

In all the stores this last week I could definitely see the fall trend: a new twist on plaids and stripes. With longer cardigans, ruffles, and tailored jackets these plaids slash stripes are not the familiar plaid styles from 7th grade.

In the mall this last week everywhere I looked there was something stripy or plaid in my face. This was okay because I really love both. I try to stay away from stripes if possible (the unavoidable widening effect isn't very flattering) but if done right stripes are super cute. And you can't go wrong with a plaid jacket! So bring on the fall, I’m ready for some new plaids and stripes in my wardrobe. 1. Forever21 2.New York & Co. 3.Gap 4. Nordstrom 5.Nordstrom 6.Forever21
