Good afternoon, Tuesday. It's a lovely day in the neighborhood and I've officially got Spring fever. Bring on the rose, warm days, and long nights perfect for ice cream and saunters through Brooklyn with doggie and hubby in tow.
But on to a favorite obsession of mine, denim. For a while I was way off the denim train because I wasn't finding anything to love- skinny jeans are great and all but I am so happy with the boyfriend cuts reaching crescendo pitch this Spring. I love the looser silhouette, which I think can be even sexier than skinny with some great shoes and good tank and gobs of long layered necklaces.
I spotted these insane in the membrane Italian denim company R13's crossover (read harem) jeans on the Dreslyn last night (that site is a distraction- you've been warned) and feel madly in love with them. They remind me of a dear, super styley friend of mine who has a way of taking silhouettes such as this one and making them all her own- she's the queen of quirky chic and I love her for it. I like to get my quirk on from time to time, but infused with something classic. I can imagine rocking these with simple ballet flats and a navy boatneck tee shirt, or even a half tucked, Brooks Brothers button down and some pearls. I like to play up and play down, and these jeans are simply everything in that perfectly disheveled way. Too bad they cost an arm and a leg though. Boo hoo. But damn if I am not going to hunt them down for cheap somewhere. I have to have these. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways- Comfy, chic, tomboy cool. PS- the whole line from this brand is equally as bad ass- the waxed black version of these rule too, as do all of their styles from skinny to more loosened up.
And that's what's up this jean Genie of a Tuesday in the 212. Yours, in expensive Italian denim awesomeness. XO
