wearing: silver and white earrings / lipstick / black 3/4 sleeve tee (old, similar here)  / blue scarf / spring nail polish / Gucci bag / pleated skirt (under $100) / black suede knee boots /

OK, so I didn’t’ get a lot of twirling photos, but in the first one, you can sort-of see me twirling into spring right?? Seriously, this skirt is fun to twirl in, and it has been so versatile this winter season. It is also a piece which can go from winter into spring. For spring, all I need to do is lighten up my top, and slip into sandals or slides; and voila! It will be perfect in the spring season, love that!

The weather this month has been swinging in all directions. We have one day with 30-50 degree temps, then the next will day will be 50-70 degrees! It’s so crazy! I wore this outfit on a day when temperatures reached the high 60’s, and it felt so nice outside! I paired my favorite winter skirt with a 3/4 sleeve tee I had in my closet from last year. To fend off the morning chill, I wore this blue scarf; which I removed later on in the day when it warmed up. It is a great winter into spring outfit. Love!

To get into the spring spirit, my daughter snapped these photos in front of a living wall at Valley Fair mall. It was just starting to get a few flowers. I cannot wait to see how pretty it gets in the spring season!

The groundhog predicted an early spring a few days ago, and I know he is right! We are already getting tree blossoms, and a few bushes in my yard are starting to bloom. I have had enough of cold weather, and I am definitely ready for the warmer, spring season!

My winter street style and a cross body phone case

wearing: large gold hoops (under $100!) / lipstick / black knit turtleneck / long winter coat (under $200!) / cross body phone case (read about the trend here) / black belt / skinny jeans / spring nail polish / western style high heel boots /

I recently met my friend Dawn for brunch in downtown Los Gatos, and it was freeeee-eeeeeeezing outside! I bundled up in this warm, winter coat and threw it over my go-to knit turtleneck, and this soft, cozy pair of jeans. It worked out really well by keeping me warm!

It was also the first time I wore my new Gucci phone case, which was fun, since it is a hot handbag this year. You know I love to rock the new handbag trends! I found the cross body didn’t feel right over my coat. It would also have been clumsy to have to take off the bag if I wanted to remove my coat. So, I wore the bag underneath my coat; which is actually a great way to fend off pick-pocketers when walking around the city. Of course, I was in Los Gatos, not a big pick-pocket location, but still a good habit to keep up!

We ate at Southern Kitchen, which is on East Main St. in downtown Los Gatos. It’s a great place to grab brunch, or lunch, if you are in the area. We have met there are few times already for brunch! Yumm!!

The softest skinny jeans for a cozy winter

soft skinny jeans skinny jeans trend how to wear skinny jeans

wearing: blue and silver earrings / lipstick / white knit turtleneck / black belt / black knit wrap c/o Chico’s (on major sale!) / soft skinny jeans c/o Chico’s / spring nail polish / Chloe bag / boots (sold out, also love this pair) /

Ooooh, Chico’s has a new denim style! I have been a fan of Chico’s denim for quite some time. They always use ultra soft denim, and their jeans keep their shape after washing. So, I am super excited about their new skinny jeans!

I was thrilled to find a surprise box on my doorstep earlier this month. Chico’s had sent me a pair of their new skinny jeans to try. I was thrilled! How did they know I love their jeans??

The new skinny jeans from Chico’s are made from a really soft and stretchy denim fabric. They are very comfortable, and after washing them twice already, they have kept their shape and color. Love!

As we move from winter into spring, denim is giving us a few new styles to wear and love; thankfully the skinny jean is one of them! Actually, skinny jeans are the only mainstay in the world of denim trends right now. So investing in a good pair will carry you from season to season in 2020. It’s the most classic style on trend right now! In addition to skinny jeans, spring will bring us high waist styles, skinny cropped jeans, wide leg trouser jeans, and cropped classic fit jeans. Skinny jeans are the only style you can wear now, in the winter, and continue wearing into spring and summer. It’s the ultimate denim style for staying on trend, and not having to buy new jeans every season!! You know I love a good investment buy 😉
