my everyday style: waxed denim this fall!

It's always nice when a few trends carry over from one year to the next.  Not only is it easy on the wallet… but it's like bringing out old friends from your closet.  Waxed denim are one of those trends I was happy to see up for a repeat season.  Since I pretty much only wear jeans all fall/winter, I love to see variations on denim to keep my looks interesting and fresh.

Waxed denim elevates a look just a touch - I love that a simple outfit like this suddenly looks a little on the dressy side with waxed denim, heels and a sparkly necklace. On another note, a reader recently asked how I wash my waxed denim.  I wash them on cold water inside out and let them air dry.  This has successfully kept the "wax" look shiny - also I wash them as little as possible, but that is my standard rule for any jeans.

my everyday style: fall re-runs!

I'm in the mood for fall now that school has started. Give me apple pie, cozy sweaters, the last of the bonfires and warm apple cider.  But the weather isn't really quite there yet… not in my neck of the woods and probably not in your neck of the woods either.  We are so close… so while I (and hopefully you!) enjoy the last of the summer weather - let's take a look at some greatest hits from last fall!

my everyday style: little white dress!

Like I've said before… I've got a thing for little white dresses this season.  This shift dress is so easy and comfortable to wear.  I had it absolutely set in my mind that I wanted to style this dress with a denim jacket - I mean, it totally works, right!?!? However the weather had other plans… it was absolutely sweltering when we took these photos.  Just my luck, right?

So I will say I highly recommend pairing a white dress with a denim jacket… just check the weather forecast first so you don't end up carrying around your jacket all day instead of wearing it!
