Now that the weather has become a bit warmer, it is more difficult to wear flare jeans on a daily basis. I need to wear a heel, or a wedge, with flares, and sometimes I would prefer to wear footwear which is a bit more comfortable. Thankfully, baggy boyfriend jeans are a hot trend this season, so I have a great alternative to my flares for the warmer weather! Love that!

Baggy boyfriend jeans are perfect for casual days. They are comfortable, non-constricting, and easy to style. They can easily be dressed up with high wedges, heeled sandals, or funky pumps. They can also be worn casually with a low heel, flat sandals, or flats. Since I am short, I prefer to wear a low heel.

This particular pair of baggy boyfriend jeans has heavy distressing; this allows for natural ventilation at the knee, which is great when the fog burns off, and temperatures heat up. I don’t feel like I have to rush home to switch into shorts, the baggy boyfriend jeans stay cool. Love it!

Since these jeans are baggy, I like wearing a low heel. I am short and the lower heel elevates me more than a pair of flats. Also, wearing a small heel with baggy pants helps to keep my legs from looking frumpy; which easily happens with flats, and baggy jeans on me! Yikes!

My beautiful nine-year-old daughter took these photos, and I think she did a pretty good job! She is really creative, and enjoys learning photography, art, and fashion design. It is fun seeing her interests grow, and develop. Someday she will be an artistic force to be reckoned with! Love!

Last weekend, I had a fun and fabulous Girl’s Night Out with my friend Rita. It had been a really busy week with my children’s activities, as well as my own, so an evening out was exactly what I needed. The busy week meant I did not have a chance to think about my Girls Night Out outfit! The horror!

I didn’t have a chance to hit the gym that week, so I was feeling a little larger than usual. I decided I needed to wear something which made me feel thin; and since I was tired from the week, I also wanted to feel comfortable. This meant I needed to reach for my current go-to Girls Night Out outfit.

An all-black, casual outfit is always perfect for heading out with the girls. I love how comfortable these jeans are, and this top is turning out to be my favorite black top of the season. It looks great during the day, and at night! I also love how it look with cut-offs; this top will get a lot of wear this summer too! Love that!

Rita and I met at a chic restaurant in Los Gatos named “Verge.” The food was fabulous, the atmosphere was chic, and everyone who worked there was extremely friendly and nice. It was a great dining experience all around. I highly recommend Verge for a Girls Night Out, or a dinner out with your significant other. I cannot wait to go back for dinner again! Yum!

After dinner, we enjoyed walking through downtown Los Gatos, and chatting it up! It was the perfect Girls Night Out after a super busy week. This Girls Night Out outfit turned out to be ideal for the evening. It was comfortable, simple, and my shoes were easy to walk in. Love that!

What is your favorite go-to Girls Night Out outfit right now?

tory burch espadrille wedges

Every summer season, I have a casual, go-to outfit. My weekend casual summer outfit for this year is definitely the one pictured in this post! The pants are comfortable and cool, the top is soft, and more interesting than your average tee, and these shoes! We have to talk about these shoes!

Espadrilles are fabulous in the summer months. They are comfortable, and make walking on the beach a breeze. I cannot go through a summer season without a fabulous pair of espadrilles, or two, or maybe three! Ha!

These Tory Burch espadrilles offer a small wedge, so they are comfortable. I love small wedges or heels because they offer just the right amount of arch support. I have worn this pair several times already and they are so comfortable for walking, and wearing throughout the day. They have become my go-to pair of shoes on casual days. Love them!

This top has quickly become one of my favorite casual shirts. I love how it looks with these cropped twill pants, as well as jeans, cut-off shorts, twill short, and denim skirts. It is a really versatile, casual top for the spring and summer months. It will easily be a part of any weekend casual summer outfit no matter which bottom I choose. Love that!

The bracelet I am wearing is from Kendra Scott’s summer 2016 collection. I love this bracelet because it is convertible! The tassel is removable, so the bracelet can be worn as-is with the tassel, or as a chunky chain bracelet without the tassel. I prefer wearing the tassel, I love how fun it is! I am tempted to pick it up in gold-tone too. Kendra Scott’s entire summer collection is to-die-for. You can check it out online here.
