Lately...

These outfits have been happening...

A few of my favorite things...

I got a pair of black denim and for some reason I am having a really hard time wearing them. When I was younger, black was all I wore. Now I only wear it very sporadically and will always think twice before putting an outfit together with black. Strange isn't it? I asked a friend what she wears with her black denim and her answer was "everything but orange". Man, I wish I thought it was that easy.

AG Jeans are mostly what I wear. No matter how hard I tried to veer off them, I am always drawn back to the brand. I believe the quality is outstanding, the fit amazing and love that they are made in the USA, specifically in South Gate. That is a major plus for me. Although I have a pair of Citizens of Humanity who are becoming a staple in my denim rotation. The Avedon by CoH is hands down one of the best skinnies out there. I put my jeans through the ringer when it comes to washing them and they have held their own and kept their shape. Good job CoH! And my trustee Sam Edelman Petty boots. They are the most comfortable pair of boots I own (which I do in a few different colors). Especially for working on my feet all day long and not being able to wear sneakers.

Oh and yes, I do shop at Forever 21 from time to time. I have found a few gems in there that have not fallen into pieces like some of their counterparts that have cost me so much more..! Don't get me wrong, you have to be in the right set of mind to go in there and definitely not on a Saturday where the madness is at it's top peak. I always look for good stitching and proportions and can always leave with things that end up in my clothes for a good while.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!
