Creative Closet: Favorite Denim

March 24, 2015

I love denim so much, I could live in jeans.  LIke, find-a-large-pair-and-make-myself-a-tent live in jeans.It’s another prompt from The Creative Closet that was made for me.  Denim is my favorite.  It’s casual, classic, dressy.. It can be whatever you want it to be.

This is an outfit I wore to work on Friday and got so many compliments on it, I couldn’t not post it.  And it’s an outfit that I don’t want to take off.  You know that feeling when you just nail something and it all comes together juuust right?Denim is perfect any time. Love casual, destroyed denim looks.The problem is…I didn’t take pictures that day.  In true Angelica fashion, I let it go until the last minute, but I absolutely had to participate today because my girl Jaelan is co-hosting the link up.

That is another post for another day, but it involved a self timer, a car, and a scarf.  I need one of those remote thingies Katy told me about from Amazon like, yesterday.

Despite all that, I still couldn’t narrow down the pictures.  I told you, I’m never taking this outfit off.  Pardon me, but I look damn good if I say so myself.  It’s all in the accessories (and a confident attitude is the best accessory, but rockin’ necklaces really help.)Destroyed denim from American Eagle.

Add a scarf for a little extra something on a chilly day. Destroyed denim from American Eagle. Perfect for spring with a light sweater and a bright lip! Destroyed denim from American Eagle. Perfect for spring with a light sweater and a bright lip! Add a scarf for extra texture.Most of my jeans are from American Eagle because they fit the best to me.  The thing about denim is that what feels good on one person doesn’t feel good to the other.

Usually I wear jeans that are skinny (here, here, here) or that have a boot cut flair (here, here), but these straight jeans rolled up just a bit work on me for some reason.Isaac Mizrahi Live watch, Studebaker Metals brass cuff, and Pandora #armparty American Eagle Straight Jeans Destroyed denim from American Eagle.

    Your outfit is AMAZING! I’m loving those polka dots. It has such a casual feel to it, but you still look put together! Ah! I’m so glad you went through hell and high water to link up with us. 🙂

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Thanks, Jaelan! I’m so into polka dots right now and this shirt is a definite favorite. It was a fun challenge last night to get it together, but I’m so happy I did 🙂

  • Nadia

    You are so right your accessories are on point, I’m crazy about those boots! I second looking into a remote – I actually take most of my photos myself and it was a serious game changer!

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Thanks, Nadia! I love these boots almost as much as jeans. Your photos are fantastic! I thought you had someone do them for you. I definitely need a remote thingy now.

  • Jana Tolman

    You self timer-ed those photos?! You are a wizard! I could never pull that off. Also, your opening thought for this post cracked me up. And you look amazing, as usual! My favorite part of this outfit is your cuffed jeans with those fantastic booties. 🙂

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      It only took about 500 shots, but I got it! I’m sure if anyone was watching, they’d be like, “What is she doing?” I usually have to cuff my jeans but not that much. I’m glad to worked! Thanks, Jana 🙂

  • Tessa Loves Charlotte

    Nothing beats discovering your new favorite outfit. It’s magic I tell ya! So enjoy! It definitely looks great on you!

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Thanks so much, Tessa! You’re right, it’s totally magical. 🙂

  • Abby Castro

      Thanks for stopping by, Abby! I love linkups for this reason 🙂

  • Katy McKinley

    So obviously I think this outfit is adorable, as are you. My favorite shot HAS to be the very last one. Of course it’s the one that doesn’t showcase the outfit (you know, the whole point of this post) BUT, it does show off those cute boots and I love the lines that the staircase gives. Plus, your super pretty face. 🙂

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Aw, thanks, Katy! You’re so sweet! I almost didn’t put that last shot in there because of the extra garden stuff, but I’m glad it turned out well.

  • Meghan Hayes

    This is head to toe made of adorableness. I love this outfit too and I totally agree. Never take it off. Just throw your entire self into a dryel shower. I don’t know if I could pick a favorite part of this outfit. That’s how awesome it is.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Right?! I just washed that shirt so of course I’m already ready to wear it again haha. Thanks so much, Meghan! 😀
