Guess Who's Back? With the perfect pair of jeans.


Shirt: New York and Company (similar here), Jeans: Hudson (here), Shoes: Christian Louboutin (here in pink!), Belt: Betsey Johnson

I had an amazingly busy holiday season. It was actually my first Christmas and New Years as a wife, so I pulled out all the stops. I also decided that my motto for the year would be "it is what it is." So simple, but so true. Just a little reminder to look at things honestly and value them accordingly. Good to be back!


Ok, jeans have always been a major fashion issue for me. I'm short and curvy with a small waist. This means that if jeans can fit my waist, they are definitely not making it up over my thighs. And, if they can be hiked up over my thighs, there's a gigantic gap in the waist section. Ayyyy, what's a girl to do? Buy Hudson jeans - that's what. These jeans are an amazing combination of structure and stretch. They're stretchy enough to fit over my curves, while being structured enough to look...well - like jeans instead of leggins. Also, there is that added benefit of being able to find these jeans in more adult washes. Most stretchy jeans out there are so full of whiskering, fading and studded pockets that I think someone's gonna either ask me where 'homeroom' is or throw me in a Nelly video if I tried to wear them in public. Trust me ladies, Hudson jeans are a curvy girls best friend!
These jeans can be found at Macy's. Though they retail for about $150, good timing and a few well-played customer appreciation coupons can have you sailing away with these jeans at a fraction of the cost. 


My husband hates this but I always swipe his cufflinks to wear with my cuffed shirts. It's like throwing on a second pair of earrings.

    1. Thank you so much! I got this shirt from New York and Company a very very long time ago. I've seen a couple like it at stores like Banana Republic and J Crew. Sorry I couldn't find you the exact one.
