Styling | Mom Jeans

Mom Jeans- noun informal 

'Women's jeans of a style regarded as unfashionable or unflattering' 

"Just because you're 40+, it doesn't mean you have to start walking around in mom jeans"

Alright, I think it's safe to say Mom Jeans have come full circle since the 80's. Particularly in the last year or so we've seen a total revival of the style of jean and in light of that I am dedicating a post to styling them from day to night showing just how versatile these little gems are and how useful it is to have a pair in your wardrobe.

I opted for a classic pair of light wash denim mom jeans from Topshop, however if you have the time and want to find a cheaper pair I would recommend looking in Vintage shops, it takes some dedication to find the perfect pair but they're a fraction of the price compared to places like Topshop and American Apparel and will last a lifetime!

As far as styling goes, I went with a simple layered daytime look, perfect for throwing on in the morning if you're heading off to college or doing errands, teamed with a pair of runners you're sure to be comfortable all day.
 The nighttime look is a lot more feminine, I personally am obsessed with the colour yellow, I understand that it isn't everyone's cup of tea but I think it contrasts perfectly with denim, dressing it up with a pair of heels and you're favourite clutch and you're good to go!

So to conclude, Mom Jeans are most definitely far from unflattering and unfashionable and in 2015 in my opinion are a must have basic wardrobe essential.

The Culottes Trend.

                            

My latest obsession is the wonder that is the culotte. Originally worn by gentlemen of the European upper class in the late Middle Ages they somehow made their way into women's fashion and having been a huge trend during the 60's and 70's they disappeared off the radar only to make a modern comeback in 2015.

I put together two different ways I would style them. Both sticking to the androgynous theme.

What are your thoughts on culottes.. yes or nah?

Get The Look | Carrie Bradshaw

Before you say it, yes I know, Carrie Bradshaw is a fictional character who doesn't actually exist but to me any girl that can pull off a tulle skirt and ghetto hoops deserves recognition.

Carrie's style is the epitome of the late the 90's and early 00's. It's impossible to sum up her look in just one word. She went from ghetto to girly in a moment and each outfit had it's own authentic quality. She manages to look effortless yet put together and because of that she is my ultimate style icon. 

I put together two different Carrie-esque looks that I feel is a little more wearable yet still staying true to style. I am aware that not all of us are lucky enough to have the body of SJP and the perseverance to wear heels on a daily basis, but you can easily tailor the look to what suits you. 

Does anyone else really wish she married Aiden instead of Big in the end? no.. just me? cool.

My Christmas wishlist

So, I've recently discovered polyvore, which has resulted in a mass amount of wishlists, style the looks and time wasted. Buuutt, I decided to put together a little Christmas wishlist in the hope that the right person will read this.

Mom jeans: I'm in a rut of only ever wearing tights with shorts or skirts so I have decided the time has come to broaden my leg attire horizon.

Mustard jumper: Jumpers are my fave, the colour mustard is my fave. Both of them combined.. well I think you can see where this is going.

Black Barely there's: I don't know why I didn't think of getting a pair of these sooner, they basically go with everything. 

Triangle bras: I rarely buy myself anything other than spongebob knickers for 2 euro from pennys but I have decided that I want to invest in a few seam free bras with matching underwear. How gorgeous is this green one from Topshop!?

Samsung galaxy s4: After 3 years of owning a blackberry that does nothing but receive texts and calls I have decided that I want to join the rest of the 21st century and get myself a fancy ass phone. I don't really understand the whole iphone hype so I opted for a trusty Samsung. 

Berry lipstick: I think apart from a traditional red lip, this is a gorgeous lip colour for the winter season. 

And I threw a little hot chocolate into it too.. just coz I can.

What is everyone else hoping to open up on Christmas morning?
