Here are my 6 tried and true favorites:

2. slipper clogs—I know some people think these are for only at home, but I wear them out and about too.

3. flat clogs—I have Birkenstock Boston clogs, but I also own a pair of SeaVees clogs and I have a pair from Walmart—any flat clog works.

4. heeled boots—always such a cute shoe choice and it looks so good with both longer and shorter wide leg pants.

5. chelsea boots—I’m wearing my blundstone boots here, but I also have my Nordstrom chelsea boots and a pair of boots from Nisolo that I like to wear with wide leg pants. They’re a really practical shoe for snow, rain, and slush as well!

6. mary jane flats —a classic and cute option that looks adorable with both styles of pants.

I didn’t get a chance to add them in here, but I also think my new Reebok sneakers would look cute with wide leg pants too👟 I tried to give a little variety of full length wide leg pants and cropped wide leg pants—I love and wear both kinds often! 

It’s all about personal preference though! You can honestly wear whatever you want and what feels good! There are no fashion rules—they’re all made up!

What’s your favorite kind of shoes to wear with wide leg pants?

*this post is part of a series on what shoes to wear with what jeans, I’m calling it “The Jean & Shoe Guide”. I’ll be doing barrel jeans next so stay tuned for that!

Five Styles of Jeans I Own and Love (as a petite 30 something mom)

No Comments

I’m a denim girl through and through🙌🏽 I wear jeans most days and I love a good and comfy pair. As a petite 30-something mom, here are 5 different styles that I own and have been wearing a bunch!

5 STYLES OF JEANS I OWN & LOVE:

  1. Quince Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans-size 24, 28″ inseam (I previously thought these were 26” but they’re actually 28”!)

these are more of a flare leg vs straight leg, in my opinion, but I love how stretchy and comfy they feel on! They also come in lengths so they work for just about everyone (also, I have a whole quince denim try-on coming soon! So stay tuned).

I love wearing these with a sweatshirt, crewneck shirt or cardigan.

2. Free People We The Free Risk Taker Mid-Rise Jeans-size 24 short (short is currently sold out, I think you could cut them since they’re a raw hem anyway)

I bought these last winter and I have to stop myself from wearing them daily. The utility style makes them really fun and the lower rise makes them super comfortable. 

These jeans really go with EVERY type of top—they’re so versatile.

3. Old Navy High-Waisted OG Straight Ankle Jeans-size 0 petite

these are a newer pair and I have been loving them! I don’t normally go for a dark wash, but I like these way more than I thought I would. They have a looser and comfy fit and they also come in  lengths and other washes too. 

These jeans look great with everything but especially cute with tees, flannels, or lighter colored tops.

4. Levi’s Ribcage Wide-Leg Jeans-I cuffed them myself-size 0

I bought these 2 years ago and cuffed them myself because they were WAY too long on me. It was before cuffed jeans were everywhere, but I loved the look (and I’ve gotten lots of mean comments about the look too🤷🏽‍♀️😅). I love wearing this pair with a heeled boots, clog or heels and I think they’re a great “fancier” jean.

I love pairing these wide leg jeans with a button up, oversized sweater, or a tight-fitting long sleeve and neck scarf.

5. Old Navy High-Waisted Barrel Ankle Jeans-0 petite

last but not least—barrel jeans! I was 100% not going to do barrel jeans, but I tried these and I was hooked and now they’re on heavy rotation. I wear them weekly (if not more) because I think the shape is so fun, the loose fit is so comfy, and they’re a fun pair of denim.

I think barrels look great with a tighter fitting top, but I also love the relaxed look of pairing a looser top with these jeans.

Four Warm Weather Barrel Jeans Outfits (petite friendly and mom friendly)

No Comments

I have been wanting these barrel jeans from Old Navy for a while and I finally grabbed them when they were recently on sale. This is the medium wash and I am wearing size 0 petite—I am 5’1” for reference.

Upon first try on, I was like no way am I keeping these! BUT then I paired them with a few different tops & realized they’re super comfy and versatile, so I’m definitely keeping them and can’t wait to wear them even more.

Here are 4 ways I’m wearing them in this transitional season while it’s still warm, but I want to dress “fall-like”.

Outfit 1: with a cute tank

this little white top is adorable and I thought the femininity of the top was a fun contrast with the masculinity of the barrel jeans.

Outfit 2: with a basic tee

I feel like the barrel jeans are the star of the outfit, so pairing them with a simple tee really makes them stand out. I added a matching suede tote bag and matching sandals to bring it all together.

Outfit 3: with a white blouse

similar to the first outfit, I’m a big fan of the juxtaposition of the feminine and masculine between the top and jeans. I added a cute little brown bag and brown birk sandals to finish up the look.

Outfit 4: with a sweater tank

This was the first outfit I tried with the jeans—the cropped sweater tank and the wider jeans go well together. I think anytime you have a bigger jean, a more cropped top always looks good. I added my orange crossbody for a fun pop of color and my comfy Birkenstock sandals.

What I Wore on my Beach Vacation

No Comments

It is SO hard for me to pack for vacation—I want to have lots of options but never have enough room to truly bring everything I want to, plus there’s so many fun things to do, AND I want to look cute and feel comfy while doing them.

So, here are the outfits I wore while on vacation in Cape Cod. I felt really good in them all and comfy too! A win-win.

The days were warm and the nights were cool (along with the wind along the ocean!) so I have a good variety of outfits here—from swimsuits, to dinner outfits, to shopping and everything in between.
