Well, I feel like a walking billboard for Express today, but I promise it wasn't intentional. I do have a lot of Express in my closet, so it's not a surprise I can dress head to toe (well, almost toe) Express, but I do usually like to mix it up a bit. I was going to go for a cropped blazer instead of this jacket, but the snakeskin cami made me want to play up the rockstar groupie feel of this outfit, so I grabbed the moto jacket instead and blinged my look up with the rhinestone bracelet, chunky link necklace, and metallic heels.
I've felt a void in my denim collection for some relaxed fit boyfriend jeans. I kind of have a pair already (seen here) but I find that I don't wear those in the winter at all because they're a bit too cropped. So, I was looking for a pair with a similar fit, but with a longer length to truly hit my ankles. I ordered the two pairs above - the pair on the left is described as having a tapered leg, which I can certainly see and feel - they were roomier in the hips and I didn't like the silhouette as much. Plus, they're almost just as short as the current pair I own. The pair on the right is what I ended up with, and what you're seeing in the photos today. I may have been able to go down one more size because I can see them getting big in the waist after some wear, but I do love the relaxed fit they have on my legs.
Sigh. I can't believe I'm thinking about colder weather clothes more and more.

How did I go from zero to 4?! Ha! They were a great price tho, so that's how I make myself feel better...

Thanks! The fit on the jeans is great! And Gina is a good sleuth - she makes it easier for me to find great pieces!
DeleteBOOM. You just created an outfit for me. Thank you very much, I have most of these pieces so I will be stealing this. :) Snakeprint Barcelona- check. Twill jacket- check. Jeans- check-ish. I don't have those exact ones but I'll live. I might need some metallic pumps to look as fabulous as you, though. :)

These jeans fit so well! I definitely love the length and tapered leg. I think I need to try these on!

Thanks, girl! You need it! :)
DeleteI am excited for the cooler weather. I am visiting family in Michigan and it is in the 60s today. I love it. The length on these jeans is perfect. I am going to check them out.
ReplyDeleteOh, Michigan has the best summers. Excited to see you dress for cooler temps!
DeleteLove that snakeskin tank! Looks very casual chic with those jeans and heels. I just picked up my first snakeskin pair of shoes, a pair of ankle-strap Clark wedges -- so you know they're comfy -- that were majorly on sale! :)
ReplyDeleteJen @ Librarian for Life + Style
Awesome find! Sounds so pretty!
DeleteThe jeans are so cute on you! I love the boyfriend style but have yet to find some that work on my body. I will try express! Also love the pumps! I've been wanting a pair for ages.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you find your perfect pair!
DeleteThese shoes were hard to resist! They're pretty great!
I love the whole look, the casual jeans with a great print top and jacket and those fabulous shoes. It all works perfectly together and you look great!

Thank you so much! It felt casual chic to me which I loved!
DeleteLove the top, it almost looks like real snakeskin! I wouldn't mind having that blouse or a version of it as a clutch, shoes or belt! Thank you for hosting Manic Monday!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating! It's a great print! I had been wanting the button up version of this, but am happy I decided to get the tank instead.
DeleteI love how casual yet chic this outfit is! Those boyfriend jeans look great on you and I love the snakeskin cami!

Happy Monday to you as well! I feel great in this outfit! The details make it fun!
DeleteLove the snakeskin top! And that bracelet is the perfect accessory for this outfit. Love that you're wearing Express almost exclusively. I'm Express'ing on today's post as well. Have a great week, Carylee! ~Cynthia
ReplyDeleteOh yay, I need to come check you out stat! Thanks for the sweet note!
DeleteI love that top, especially how you styled it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love the print on that top! I'm always a sucker for any animal print. :) I don't have a good pair of boyfriend jeans, I may have to head to Express to check those out.

Yes, you really should! I highly recommend them - they fit and feel great!
DeleteI wish I had an Express closer so I could shop there more often! You're outfit is amazing! Good call on which jeans to keep! I love the ones you chose!

Thanks! They're definitely worth trying! Express can be hit and miss sometimes, but they do have some gems, such as this top!
DeleteI am obsessed with bfs, you will be so amazed at the styling options they provide!! you look amazing, but even more, girl . . . you always have the most amazing shoes!!! I am so jealous!!

DeleteKiller shoes Carylee! I need some boyfriend jeans too!
ReplyDeletewww.misshotcouture.blogspot.com
Yep, you sure do! Hope you find your perfect pair!
DeleteSuch a cute look! I love the BF jeans but they're so tricky to wear...I shopped around for a cute pair and while they are the best that I found - I still have to watch what I pair them with or they make me look bottom-heavy LOL! But you picked an awesome pair - they look gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I forgot how great a relaxed pair of jeans feel! These really are everything I was looking for!
DeleteAbsolutely love these boyfriend jeans on you! The ones on the left are super cute, but it's smart that you got longer ones for year-round wear. I always get excited about cooler weather clothes... assuming I can block the fact that winter is after fall from my mind.
