I know I wear a lot of dresses and heels, but I do own jeans too. I actually own over 30 pairs of denim pants, and I realize I rarely post them. Truth is, I rarely wear jeans... that is up until now. The past 4 years I have been working in healthcare, and jeans are not part of the dress code. I became used to dressing professional, or at least testing the boundaries of professional attire. But... there has be a slight change in my job, and the dress code policy with it. I recently became unemployed. Although I am pretty freaked out about having to find a new job, I am thoroughly enjoying lounging in my jeans as of late.
This little look is what I wore to run errands in last weekend. I know some may think I run around in 5 inch stilettos and a fur caplet all the time, but that's absurd. Confession: as soon as I shut my front door, I am already pulling off all my clothes and looking for the ugliest and most over-sized garment I can find. I love dressing up, but I love dressing down too!

Good luck on your job search! It's tough out there for just about everyone right now. I am in the same boat as you, but I am really lucky that my husband has always forced savings down my throat and we aren't in a panic over my situation yet. I think you look wonderful in this simple, but classic look and you have such a positive outlook. I send you all my best wishes for a great job soon!
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of you sitting down. Such a cute casual look. I am the same way these days. Find me the largest, ugliest shirt (i.e. something from my husband) and I'm wearing it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the changes but you look cute in jeans :) What does your tattoo say?
