I think the key to dressing up your jeans… is having the right accessories. I shared in the first photo how boring this look can be without accessories (anyone notice that??) Dressing up your denim for either a night out or casual Fridays at work is easy and fun!  I wanted to list out the accessory necessities any ladies outfit should have.

  • Watch: this make the biggest difference with my arm party. They aren’t necessarily the most useful since we all check the time on our phone now, but they give just about every outfit an umph. My mom actually gave me this watch for my Senior graduation in 2010 and I can’t believe I still have it/ wear it. I just always feel naked without a watch on now!
  • Purse: I mean, how boring was the first photo with no purse. We all need a place to put our phone / keys and a purse just completes the look. This clutch was a Christmas present and I absolutely love the simplicity but yet chic design. It’s also under $50!
  • Earrings: I know I mentioned I always feel naked without a watch but same goes for an outfit without earrings! They don’t always have to be statement earrings to make an outfit but even studs makes your earrings less bare. I actually am obsessed with these Tory studs and have had them for years too!
  • *Scarf: Ok I put an asterisk next to scarf since this isn’t a necessity BUT it did complete this outfit to a T! Scarfs are always a fun additional piece and especially when they make a statement like this Burberry print. I always recommend investing in designer accessories over anything else. Wether that is a purse, scarf, shoes, I feel like that is where you will get your moneys worth. They also make any outfit look a little more glam! Of course Nordstrom has an array of high end and reasonable price accessories to shop for.

I hope you all are ready for a new week! Ready or not, I think I am. Last week was insane with contractor meetings for the new place. We have a few things to fix before we can move in #thisprocessneedstohurry. I have been meaning to do a snapchat tour of the place so I will try to do that next time I am there.

PS THANK you to all for filled out the survey. Your feedback and kind words really did blow me away. Love you all like crazy!
