MY PEACE of jewelry - 'boyfriend jeans'

Boyfriend jeans What are 'boyfriend' jeans? "Despite the name, boyfriend jeans are not for boyfriends.

Simply put, we dress way too different. He's conservative and I'm UMMMM, not. 'boyfriend' jeans is a type of jeans roomy, relaxed style jeans Because I refuse to pay mega money for jeans I can't afford to pay $150 - $500 for jeans They look good on the "models" but they won't look as good on me.  Also, they don't look too "roomy and relaxed" so I buy a pair of over-sized 501 LEVI'S for $8 from the thrift store  I wear a  size "32" and buy a size "38" they're roomy & relaxed I paired it with a black & white boat neck t-shirt purchased from  Br...

Before I go into my spiel about My Outfit. You fellow bloggers can understand how "embarrassing" to shoot outdoors. I shoot my own photos, mainly at the Botanical Gardens in Westwood; hopefully away from everyone. In this case, a lovely lady was walking by and said she really admired me taking photos of myself Awkward!   Sheath Dress   Defined as flattering for most body types  Basic wardrobe staple for any closet  Fall 2013 fashion trend I got mine First time I've worn my Sheath Dress, which I purchased several months ago (on sale) from Urban Outfitters It's bejeweled with 1920's fringe Another dress that I had to have but did not know where or how I would wear it It's a stretch for me to wear dresses because  I don't like to wear heels and I commute to work on my bike But I figured it out.
