Style Diary: Cargo Pencil Jeans
Every year there seems to be a new focus on denim. This past fall/winter’s season was all about the cargo skinny jean. Though I initially resisted, I finally gave into the casual cool look when I found this lovely charcoal zip-ankle cargo jean at Off 5th. It was originally $100 but I bought the “SL8” pair for about $30. Gotta love the deal!
Here are a couple looks where I pair the jeans with grey plaid flats and a charcoal fedora- a perfect weekend combination.
The “Just Sweet” flats and the Fedora were each only $30 or less.
The striped long sleeved shirt and flowery cardigan were cheap and cheerful finds from Forever 21. Both were under $25 each.
I see this as the perfect weekend outfit to go sightseeing in or to attend a casual weekend brunch. Can you believe I found this sweet Chanel purse at a consignment store?
The next outfit pairs fancy with casual. I love mixing it up and often seek to wear contradictions. Here I pair a fancier sequin black stretch sweater with my casual new cargos and again wear it with the same hat and shoes for a darker edgier look than the previously seen feminine floral pairing.
As you can see, I’m a huge fan of Chanel. I LOVE their purses! Which outfit would you wear?
I wore the outfit out with my faux fur coat from Express minus the hat today.
Thank God for flats! A New Yorker can only walk so far in heels…
