Can't Buy a Thrill

This is an outfit I wore a while back, but I hadn't shared the photos with you guys yet. I am so obsessed with these conductor stripe pants from Nordstrom. For me, they're the perfect summer pant. They're light, fun, and super easy to style. I have worn them so many times this week, and I am surprised as to how well they work with so many different things! Ever since I was a kid, I have been obsessed with traveling, especially by train, so I fell in love with these railroad striped babies imediately! Wearing them makes me want to plug into my iPod, crank the Bob Dylan, hop a train, and go on an adventure..

Tangled Up in Blue

Hey guys!

Today, I woke up and just wanted to feel "cute". Cute, to me, translates to peter pan collars, and lately it also translates to the color blue. I am in love with peter pan collars, and always have been. I've had this top for a few years now actually, and still love it. Which is a feat for someone who buys new clothes as much as I do! It's such a pretty color blue and it is so versatile. I've worn it with hot pink jeans and gotten lots of compliments, and dark wash jeans and a black cardigan. Today, because I'm not doing anything but grocery shopping and homework, I thought a casual look with rolled up straight leg jeans would do just the trick.

Blustery Day!

Hey guys! Today's weather has been kind of weird... It's still super hot (It's supposed to get up to 84!) but it's also pretty windy. It's a little difficult to dress for heat and wind at the same time! However, my lace-y tunic, shorts, and jean jacket did just the trick!

This outfit would be super cute to wear to school or work, but today I'm just running some little errands and for the most part being lazy. I always prefer to be lazy in style though - I hate wearing pajamas all day, it makes me feel so blah!

These boots are without a doubt one of my most worn and favorite things that I own. They're Steve Madden Troopa boots, and I am so in love with them! I've had mine for almost three years now, and they're still in great condition. They're the kind of boots that look even better with age, and I would honestly be surprised if I had to replace them within the next few years! Yeah. That good.

Please find it in your hearts to ignore how silly I look in these photos. It was windy, remember!! :)

Tall Girl Problems: Jeans

As a long legged girl, I find that the most stressful thing to shop for is jeans. I cannot tell you how many times I've gone into a store, requested long jeans, and gotten the "Well, our regulars run long" speech. They might run long, but not 26 inches long! Therefor I've made a list of all the best stores and brands to buy leggy jeans, at (hopefully) every price point!

7 For All Mankind
I personally have never owned a pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans, because of their price. I had one pair of ripped hand me downs from a neighbor, which were still better than any other jean I owned. If you have the money, jeans from this brand are well worth it. They are expensive, but it's not like they need to be replaced very quickly because of the great quality.

If you're ordering online, it's easiest to find your inseam using the search bar.

Lucky Brand Jeans
These jeans vary pretty widely in price, and not all styles come in long inseams. (Bummer for people like me, who absolutely need skinnies. I'm not going to lie and tell you I am not loooving the Sofia Boot cuts, though!) However these jeans are also of a great quality, and super cute. I love the nondescript look of them, because they can go with anything and be dressed up or down.

Gap Jeans My. Absolute. Favorites. These jeans are seriously an investment. I just recently started buying Gap jeans, and instantly fell in love. Literally every time I try on a pair of jeans now, my only thought is "Well... They aren't Gap Jeans, so no." My mom got me hooked on them, when I complimented her perfect pair of jeans and she informed me she has had them for four years. I was fourteen when she bought them, and she's still looking great! The pocket sits on your butt, whereas a lot of long legged jeans' pockets tend to sag. I prefer the skinny, of course, because it's such a snug fit and the color stays perfect!

My favorite pair: 1969 Always Skinny

American Eagle Jeans I know that a lot of people don't shop at American Eagle anymore (at least, in my age group) because it tends to be geared towards high school/junior high girls. I, however, always like to check them out for special jems if not for basic tanks. Since my younger days, I've found that their jeans are of a pretty great quality for their price, and the fit is amazing as well. My other favorite pair of go-to jeans are a pair of dark wash, high-waist jeans, which I was surprised to find at AE.

There you have it! I hope this post is useful to some of you! Thanks for checking in, and Happy Friday!! ~ Kenzie.
