even though it's fall, it's still 80+ degrees out (and gorgeous) in san diego so we couldn't resist these polka dot denim shorts... and once it cools down some, these shorts will be cute with a cream cable-knit, chunky sweater & brown boots! #sandiegowinters

Jean love :: DL1961

I bought a pair of DL1961 jeans recently and they are so rad! They are slightly higher rise, which I like, they're a good ankle length, perfect for wearing booties and they literally do not stretch out at all. Buy 'em how you want them to fit. Plus as denim prices continue to skyrocket, I think their prices are fairly reasonable, too.

Practically Stolen :: Mother/JBrand

I've been in desperate need of new jeans lately. Everything in my closet is either too big, too small . . . or just too old. I planned on splurging and just getting a pair I love, but I always feel guilty not at least looking for a pair on sale first. Lo and behold, I found two super hot pairs at the Rack that were marked "Altered or Refinished" and they happened to fit me just right and the exact pairs are being sold at Nordstrom right now (I checked.)!

The moral of this story? One woman's poorly altered clothes are another woman's treasure.

Loooooove these flares by Mother.

These mid-rise skinnies by JBrand are amazing.

Spring?

Saturday, spring officially begins. Although, according to my itchy eyes and crazy sneezing attacks, it began about two weeks ago.

Here's my question. What should one wear in cities that require "transition" clothes? My usual rule is no open toed shoes or sandals before spring (it just looks silly) and after March 21st, no tights, wool coats or boots (again, silly). And although it's supposed to get close to 70 degrees this weekend (um, yay!), the rain will be back come Monday.

It seems like the rules have changed in fashion and anything goes these days, with open-toed booties, tights with sandals, floral dresses with coats and tights and, my personal favorite, leggings, which are perfect no matter the weather!

Is the key just layers and layers of spring-y attire? Here are some outfits that might work, but I'd love to hear your opinions on what's weather/season appropriate and what you think people can and can't get away with.

Here's Maggie Gyllenhal with boots and bare legs. You like?

Miss Moss looks pretty spring-tastic, but still appropriately warm, right?

PS: Love this site.

More bare legs with boots. Found this cute dress on Bliss!

This look goes back to one of Taryn's posts about loving jean shorts with tights. Seems like the perfect time of year for me to try out this trend!

Happy St. Patty's Day, people!

blank denim leggings
