Everyone can boast of at least 1 pair of jeans. The classic blue jean is a wardrobe staple. There may be slight changes in the ‘it’ silhouette from season to season and according to fashion dictates. From the distressed to the flare, cropped or skinny to name a few but denim still rules, has such unmatched versatility and is not going anywhere anytime soon.
What do you favor? I love distressed. Gosh I love skinny jeans. No scratch that. I love flares. Heck I love them all! They're everyone’s (both boys and gals alike) 'go to' and there’s a plethora of creative styling possibilities for any and every pair.
Today I’ve incorporated a pair of denim flares, the new 'it' fit and one of my old faves that I spoke about here in my look. Fashion gals all over are loving and trusting this silhouette to keep them comfy and cozy especially in the upcoming Fall season. Featuring flare jeans, this gorgeous necklace, a gift from the wonderful folks at Haute Beads, a layered frilly bandeau top, Daffodile Brodee a limited edition from Christian Louboutin's 20th anniversary collection years ago and a Jimmy Choo bag, this look is easy, cute and comfy.
How cute is that top by the way? My daughter has since claimed it and it now hangs pretty in her closet, :-0.
A perfect yet playful day time or sexy date night piece, this top is by Lost link and comes in two colors. Sadly it is sold out but here is something similar in a color that will transition seamlessly into Fall. And here is another with long sleeves that's perfect for the upcoming season. I scooped up one of each and I am so in love! If something about Fall makes you crave flares, then check out this pair that's similar to my (antique, LOL) Bebe pair.

"Life is too short to wear boring jewelry"
I was pretty stoked when I received this stunning piece of jewelry from Haute Beads. It's been sitting in the box it came in for a while now cos sadly this full time working gal is currently involved in a few projects that are just gnawing away at my time. Truth be told staying afloat has been a challenge lately. That will pass soon I promise.
Haute Beads
I introduced this brand to you here. Checked them out yet? You’d be amazed at all the great finds. This and this are so cute and this is still available for purchase. Okay okay, I won’t spoil it for you. I am a sucker for tag lines. Theirs is "we design with passion or not at all'. Fab! Head on over and take a peek, you won’t be disappointed. Thank me later now. You're welcome!
#TeacherBae
Did you read about the Atlanta 4th grade teacher's photos that went viral for her dressing? I didn't but my daughter did and told me and then another teacher at work said she read it and thought of me. She didn't think it was offensive. Not by a long shot. Not sure who was complaining about that gal's clothes but I personally think it's ridiculous that she's being sexualized because of her curvy body. Like dude, she has no control over that. We all wear jeans/tee and knit dresses and those hug the body too. I hope she doesn't lose her job over this cos teachers have a right to look good too. Not inappropriate but good, really good. Count me in! #teacherbae, support all the way.
Funny
Seriously guys, this is hilarious!
So a sibling to one of my students from last year thinks Beyonce is Ms. Idu. Her mom, a colleague of mine said when Beyonce was performing at the VMAs, she insisted that was 'Ms. Idu on TV' and nobody could convince her otherwise. I ran into her and dad on campus yesterday and as soon as dad said "she thinks you're Beyonce", she took off and hid behind him. I couldn't stop laughing. Can't wait till she comes to Kindergarten 17/18 school year.
Hope your week was great darlings.
I indulged all week. Too much food, too much cookies and cream ice cream (my new favorite flavor), some shopping, yada yada yada. On the flip side, it's fashion month, what are you loving? What trends do you see emerging?
I hope y'all enjoy a much needed relaxation this weekend!
This is a sponsored post but all opinions are mine. No place for any BS here. Thx Shireen, :).

You know those flare jeans are so gorgeous we will forgive them for hiding those lovely heels...and they sure are fabulous!!!! Loubutins have their sexy vibe like no under shoes (must be the red soles) but I was never head over heels with them until I started to see them regularly on your blog...and now I must really respect this brand for coming up with so many different designs and styles over the years....
ReplyDelete...but let's get back to the subject of jeans. Flares and bell bottoms are my first pick always, but I also like capris and I have one pair of mom's vintage jeans (that I got as a present). I don't wear jeans very often but that is only because I'm such a fan of skirts and dresses...In reality, I do agree with that statement that jeans are the timeless classic. We all need at least one or two pairs of jeans that fit perfectly in our closet...they're great to dress down anything...and they're comfy. I also prefer jeans to be high rise...but that's the case with all clothing.
That top is so adorable...and how cute that your daughter borrowed it from you:)...that's some adorable family style collaboration right there...and that necklace is wonderful. Such a statement item!!!! I sure love statement necklace. Your make up is as always flawless...I hope I will learn to do my make up like that some day. All in all, such an amazing combo! You look smoking hot and very beautiful!!!!!!! Beyonce kind of hot and beautiful!!!!:)
I googled teacher Bea and I totally agree with what you said. She is being judged for her body, not for what she wore. Her dress is very modest, it covers everything, goes below the knee and completely covers the chest area...and that is judged too sexy!!!??! It is not as she can help having a tiny waist and curves, it is not her fault she fits the society's standards of attractiveness... I do feel for Teacher Bea. There isn't much one can do to hide one's curves, if one has them...and besides why should we be made to hide anything? If she was flat chested and without curves, nobody would have questioned what teacher Bea wore and that's a fact. Our society puts everything in sexual context, it's becoming so tiring. Sexual content is both advertized and scorned on...nobody is questioning all the troubled intepretations of sexuality in the media and in the mass marketing....and how can we protect the children from images that are all present and everywhere? I saw a lot of commercials/music videos etc. that I wouldn't want any child to see, but there isn't anything I can do about it...and then people think that a problem is when an attractive women is wearing a modest dress! The problem is in their heads.
hahah... isn't she just a cutie,I bet she hid behind her dad because she was shy to ask for an autograph. Welcome to the ice cream lovers family,ain't you lucky you can have all that and still look like beyonce ,i'll have to spend 2 hours in the gym to burn mine lol.�� and fit into my dress. Your blouse and heels are giving me so much life . Perfectly styled. You always look flawless and I hope you have a lovely weekend . I'll be checking out the brand because i'm loving the necklace.

I had to google Teacher Bae, but I agree with you all the way. She is dressed very nice and completely appropriate, people should mind their own business. As longs as she isn't showing up to work completely see-through or in a bikini, everything should be fine.

Woow idu am just lost of words my daughter has invited me on Sunday for a friends naming ceremony and I don't want to overdress. I have a pair of flair jeans hanging in my wardrobe for the past 4 years. I was thinking to wear it to the party but I just pushed it away. I just had a glimpse of your outfit and am in love of how you swag the jeans. I guess i will wear it just as you have done and thank you for the fashion tips. We love you idu and thank you 💜💛💚
ReplyDeleteLoving these flare jeans on you, Idu.:) And I haven't heard of that teacher so will google it. And how cute is that little girl:) Well, if she hasn't seen you and Beyoncé in the same room and you do look alike....hehe

I love all different kinds of jeans myself, but I always seem to reach for my skinny jeans the most. I guess it's because they work well with nearly every shoe out there.

Wow haven't hear about the Teacher Bae situation, must check it out! I love all kinds of jean styles, some of the newer trends that are sparking up like low front and high back, not so sure. Have to get used to those. Other than that I love flares, and skinnies best. Although a good boyfriend jean is always a good idea!

I love that necklace it was definitely a standout piece when I first seen these pics I had to take a double take haha it's gorgeous!!! It's a shame that women are always criticized by how they dress just because the body type flaunts a fabric in a different way hopefully she doesn't get fired that would be crazy!

I will say it again, I believe that you can wear anything ... honestly!

Adoring this retro style on you and love the funny story about her thinking you're Beyonce. <3/M

ReplyDeleteI saw a bit of the Atlanta teacher's story on TV and she was wearing a bodycon dress. I'm still on the fence about that one because I believe (my opinion) that body con dresses are very notorious...:-)
The young kid that think(s) you are Beyoncé is so, so adorable and I can see the reason. You are a Fashion queen.
