That Preppy 60s Vibe

Hello, my lovely friends! This photo shoot has many accomplishments attached to it. To start with, I took these photos myself. Me, my tripod and little remote (Thanks, Dad!). Despite having a blog and very social lifestyle, I’m actually a private person. Packing up my stuff, driving to a park and photographing myself in front of others gave me complete and utter anxiety. However, I did it! I did it, guys. I kept repeating “you’re doing this for your readers” and I got the courage to do it. Oye.

I learned a ton and I hope to get the courage to do it again. It was such a beautiful day, I couldn’t pass it up.

I’ll chat about my second success after talking about my outfit! …

These jeans are everything I have been looking for and they were on sale. I originally went into Anthropologie for these latte bowls and walked out with a few more pieces than I expected! These jeans are not only a statement, they’re also comfortable. They have a nice light stretch, deep pockets and long hem lines. The inseam for these jeans, in a regular, is 32′. A petite girls dream! 3′ heels make these jeans just right.

I can’t wait to pair these with my Spring attire!

As promised, my second accomplishment is: listening to my own artistic sense and style.

After the overwhelming amount of compliments I received and, more importantly, how I feel in these jeans: no one’s opinion matters more than your own. I was once told that jeans like these don’t do anything for my figure and the pockets would make my hips look wider. I’m so happy I didn’t listen to that person.

This is real progress and a great lesson for anyone. It’s also a great reminder to not allow that type of negativity into your life. Especially from someone that’s supposed to be your friend.  Trust your gut with your own style, loves.

What are some of your favorite pieces you have been searching for?
