Two super exciting things…First and most exciting, today I was invited to Co-Host Fashion Item Friday with the fabulous Renae at Simple Sequins. How cool is that? Renae is one of my favorite bloggy friends. She is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met (in person or in the cyber-world), and she puts out a fantastic blog with lots of personal style inspiration. Her outfits are always so well put together, and she is a bargain/thrifting genius. It’s definitely worth your time to swing by Simple Sequins and check her out!
The second exciting thing is I think that I have found the best boyfriend jeans ever. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement. Let me amend that by saying the best boyfriend jeans ever for me. They are surprisingly from Old Navy. Surprising in that I’ve never really loved Old Navy jeans. They just don’t seem to fit me right, but these do. They have that perfect right amount of slouchiness without being too baggy… that’s hard to find, and the leg opening is just right…not to narrow and not too wide. Believe me, I’ve searched. I have found some contenders, but never perfection. And I must say these are damn close to perfection.
In light of the fact GAP and Old Navy are two of the biggest offenders in the travesty that is vanity sizing, it’s sometimes tough to gauge what size to get if you’re ordering online. Since my typical elfin size in the GAP boyfriend jeans doesn’t have that aforementioned slouchiness, I lived on the edge and sized up to slightly larger than elfin size in the Old Navy jeans. Bingo! Found a winner! The only thing that would’ve made these better is if they’d been free. But I guess you can’t have everything.
