Ombre Denim Final Look

I know I said I would post this up on Sunday, but I wanted to share the final results now.

To create this ombre look, it's super simple!

Here are the steps I took...I literally improvised...

You need: Bleach, a big bowl of hot water & somewhere to air dry

1. Make a section of where you would like to bleach

2. Pour bleach onto the area that you selected

(I ended up splashing bleach vs. spraying to get a different effect and to make it look more drastic)

3. Put the bleached section in the hot water and rinse out the bleach

4. Ring out your denim and let it air dry overnight

5. WAHLAHHHH!!!! You should see the drastic effect in the morning, finish the last step by washing your pieces in the washer (BY ITSELF) then dry it in the dryer.

ps: peep out my new white summer shoes :) in loveeeeee

Crop Tops & Floral Pants

Good afternoon everyone!!!!

Here's a quick little post!!! It's officially spring and the top style trend for the season is FLORALS!!! Anyone can wear this look, the key is the size of the floral pattern.  For petite ladies, the bigger floral pattern the better, and for the curvier ladies, you want to lean more towards the smaller (not so distracting) patterns.

Here are some stores that have different styles of affordable floral pants/leggings.

1. H&M

2.  Zara

3. Anthropologie

For spring, I am wearing the heck out of crop tops (this is the style that I'm going for spring & summer).  I think they are fun to dress up and dress down.  

Here are some stores that have different styles of affordable crop tanks/tops

1. American Apparel

2. Free People 

3. Forever21

Hope you all have a beautiful day!!!

Pants and Jeans For Ladies With Long Legs

 Pants: Ann Taylor Top: H&M

 

 Light Blue Jeans: WeSC

 Cargo Pants: Gap

Black Jeans: Gap

Good afternoon lovely readers! 

I'm so excited that I get to take sometime out of my chaotic schedule to post another blog! As you can tell, pants are the focal point.  Being 5'9" and having super long legs, it is EXTREMELY difficult to find jeans/pants etc. that fit my shape and that are long enough for my legs. Whenever I do find a pair that fit me (rare), I buy them right then and there, no questions asked.  So to make it easier for my long legged ladies out there, I listed a few great brands that I love and that hopefully work for you! Feel free to share other brands that have variety and provide long inseams to the beautiful tall women!

For all the above (style, fit, length, color) go with 1. BDG Urban Outfitters - My favorite brand for AMAZING jeans!!! I love the denim, the colors, the fit the LENGTH and the variety they have to offer. 

For classic denim go with 2. Gap  - Both their pants and jeans have an awesome fit and length.

For stretchy denim go with 3. Levi's -  Great fit for my curvy girls with height (I'm wearing my pair right now, super comfortable) They also came out with the curve i.d....I still have yet to try on a pair, but when I do, I will definitely do a review and see what they have to offer.

For colors and length go with 4. WeSC - This is my first time purchasing this brand and when I tried on a pair I fell in love.  The denim is great quality and they had some super cute colors.  I received so many compliments on my light baby blue jeans.
