who doesn't want to be "always skinny"

i have searched high & low for the ultimate skinny jean. one that is flattering to all (including those of us who aren't perfectly long and lean). one that is not over $100. one that you can wear winter, spring, summer or fall. i think i may have found it. the 'always skinny jean' from GAP. it fit all my criteria and then some. they are comfortable, slimming, flattering, priced for all and easily found online or in retail stores.

wear 'em with a tank top or tee shirt in the summer and pair it with flip flops. 

or wear 'em with a dressier top and sandals.

and always feel free to pair 'em heels and a blazer

outfit time.

here's an idea for an outfit that can take you from the park with the kids to running errands to a casual dinner and a movie for date night.

top options:

this dolman top from gap is $19.50. it is casual & comfortable, but has a sophisticated cut that makes it interesting. i like the green, dark blue or cream.

this henley from urban outfitters is $54. casual sophistication. i like the green, cream or dark blue.

               

these cropped skinny jeans from gap are flattering on all body types. if you read the reviews there are women of all shapes and sizes raving about them. if you are under 5' 5" or so get the cropped, if you are taller get the regular always skinny jeans. 

these cut-off bermudas are on sale for $29 at gap.

for shoes, any great basic sandal will do. a wedge works too!

you can find both of these at urban outfitters. above. below.

wrapped bracelets. great for casual summer days.

a new versatile trend is the wrapped bracelet. you can find them in several styles, fabrics and colors. the range in price from $5 to $300. here are some of my favorites. these are a perfect no-nonsense way to accessorize this summer.

these are linea pelle double wrap. they can be found at nordstrom, but are on sale at bloomingdales now.

 urban outfitters does a great basic one, for $14 in various colors.






saving the best for last, this is my favorite, $38 at les morceaux.
