Real (approachable) Style Advice for Real (grown-up) Women with Real (smart) Budgets |
|
Hello First name / friend, I hope you're having a good weekend and enjoying some gorgeous fall weather. It's getting slightly cooler here but the sun is bright and warm and the foliage is spectacular. I’m writing this from the car, riding home with Bill after my 40th high school reunion in Simsbury, CT. I’m so glad I decided to go—it was wonderful to reconnect with old friends, especially some dear girlfriends who were like sisters during those angst-ridden pre-teen and teenage years. We hadn’t seen each other in decades, but being together again and reminiscing truly filled my cup. I’m grateful to have reconnected, and I know we’ll stay in touch this time. If you’re on the fence about attending your next high school or college reunion, my advice is to go if you can. Even if your school years weren’t perfect, it’s incredible how time and life experiences level things out. With age, the old drama fades, and you might be surprised by the meaningful connections you can make. Simsbury High School, Class of '84…good people, good times! |

A friend/client had ordered similar jeans for $200+ and said these are so much better. I reach for them almost daily. |

Tips for this hot denim trend: Barrel jeans are a flattering fit for many body types, including pear, hourglass, slim, and curvy figures. The tapered ankle and loose leg silhouette can be styled in a variety of ways… These are my favorites as they aren't as exaggerated as some and are an affordable way to try the trend. Pair with a fitted top Balance the volume of the jeans with a form-fitting top like a crop top, baby tee, or blouse. Add a blazer or moto/bomber jacket For a trendy yet classic look, pair barrel jeans with a blazer or shorter jacket and a fitted tee, tank, or tucked blouse. Show off your shoes The tapered ankle of barrel jeans is perfect for showcasing shoes like modern sneakers, ballet flats, or tall shaft booties. |
