How to Wear DIY: The bow print jeans!!


I've mentioned before I'm not a big fan of January. Luckily it's almost over, but February's not much better, either. There's a reason the "resort collection" comes out at every store in late December; once Christmas is over, I guess a lot of us are ready for sunshine and preppy, cheery colors like clean navy, white, and bright chartreuse or hot pink. But, it's still freeeezing outside, so unless you're vacationing somewhere tropical, they seem sort of counter-intuitive. My cozy sweaters still sound most comfortable, but they're depressing, wintry colors like beige and warm brown.

Anyway, to balance my need for color and something non-wintry with my need for warmth, I found that, on one of our more moderate-temperature days, my bow print jeans from my tutorial paired well with cozy riding boots and a wool navy and grey striped J.Crew-via-Goodwill vest. The bright silk top just made it cheerier. But I did wear a coat, for most of the time I spent outside in it!

Coat: American Eagle via Marshall's. Top and boots: Target via Goodwill. Vest: J.Crew via Goodwill.
Scarf: Kmart via Goodwill. Watch: Ross. Necklace: Forever 21. Jeans: DIY stenciled!

P.S. Yes, that is the Costco parking lot. We get pretty crazy on the weekends. ;)
