I spend so much time & energy (specifically in the mornings) trying to think of the most innovative and unique outfits/pairings. Lately I found myself overlooking some of the best pieces I have….my basics. There’s something so easy and laid-back about a cool pair of denim jeans, especially if it’s a modern take on a throwback acid wash from the 90’s! Wearing a pair of fitted jeans with a breezy tee might have to be one of my most simple outfits i’ve worn in a long time. There’s something incredibly refreshing in minimalism.
When it comes to simplicity, the fit is EVERYTHING! I’ve struggled to find jeans, specifically skinny jeans, that not only fit me like a glove but also is equally as comfortable. What I love most about these EXPRESS jeans is that it’s a High Rise fit that tucks & lifts everything in the right places! It also has a gracious amount of stretch due to the jean legging material, which is incredibly important for me. If you are looking for a pair of classic jeans I definitely recommend on getting a pair from EXPRESS because the fit and and cut is everything that I could want for in a pair of jeans.
Less is more, and sometimes we all tend to overthink our outfits. I challenge you to go back to the basics this week and keep it cool & simple.

My boyfriend always hates it when I over dress or over accessorize, but I totally agree with you. Sometimes, simplicity is best. You look great! Those jeans make your legs look super long, which is often not the case for acid wash jeans.

All my jeans are from Express just because I found them to fit me best. Great outfit. A simple tee goes further than we normally credit it for.

great pics! The outfit matches perfectly with the background!
Just absolutely love the simplicity of this outfit with the neutrals.
The bag and jeans go well yet contrast each other a little with the state of the pieces. x

Love this simplistic look! And love the colour of the jeans! How many pairs of jeans should a girl have in her closet? Sometimes it seems that have 1 or 2 pairs is enough
Did you fold them up in the first pictures?
They washing is amazing!
Lovely pants and classy chic look as always. You’re perfect!
