Jeans & a White T Outfit No. 29 Madewell Denim

What I'm Wearing
* White Madewell jeans... c/o Madewell. I'm ALWAYS surprised when I put on white jeans and they not only are slimming, but make my legs look longer. It seriously blows my mind. I ALWAYS think the opposite is going to happen. These are a little roomy too. I wore white on white once here in my 30/30 denim series.
* White VS PINK slouchy tee
* Madewell denim button down shirt... c/o Madewell
* Tiffany pendant necklace & gold oval hoops
* Brown Asos "boyfriend" belt
* LAMB t-strap/ankle strap sandals
* Kooba "Jonnie" bag... c/o Kooba {last year}
* Ray Ban Aviators

The Accessories

I began a day late so this outfit number 29 in my 30 Days 30 Ways: Jeans & White T Challenge is admittedly, almost completely sponsored... as part of Madewell's denim cross country trip which I also wrote about here, they sent me these fabulous pants and denim button down shirt. These are actually the first Madewell pants I've ever even tried on and really, they're kind of fabulous. I think I need to get a darker wash as well. Maybe these? But omg they have so much more than jeans!

What I'm Wearing
* Black J Brand/Duarte lace up cropped jeans again... seen here & here in my 30/30 series
* VS PINK low scoop neck loose tee
* Vinage floral print cropped jacket... I used the vintage teal green scarf worn around my hair in this outfit, tied it into a bow and pinned it onto my jacket
* Bright blue vintage earrings and vintage sunglasses
* Vintage pink velvet clutch
* Bebe "Taffy" buckle heels... last August and haven't worn until now.

The Accessories

So close to the end, this is my 28th outfit in my 30 Days 30 Ways: Jeans & White T Series and adding jackets has proven to make this series far more interesting. I really wish I would have started including them prior to the final week. It wasn't my main goal, however, adds yet another layer of versatility and style. This is another take on brights, using accessories and the power of 3 - drawing the eye down, center, then up! You barely even notice the basics I'm wearing are simply jeans and a white t-shirt. Happy Sunday!

Photo overload today!

Outfit number 26 in my 30 Days 30 Ways: Jeans & White T Challenge and I've realized it's time to start incorporating jackets into the looks. I maybe should have started earlier, but the point was really about Jeans & White T - and accessories. However, an added jacket, blazer, or sweater does make it more interesting. I love this fancy dressed up look. Happy Friday Lovecats!

Floral Print Jeans DIY

image above via flickr


Floral printed jeans and pants are everywhere right now. I think J Brand has my favorite pair to date but if you're on a tight budget or haven't found the perfect print, why not DIY your own? Which, of course, was my thought exactly! I have about 3 pairs of white jeans, thanks to some of the clothing brands I've partnered with... so, I had a pair to spare in case my idea went majorly wrong. Happily though, it didn't! They turned out marvelously and I love them. I decided to stick with blue hues, but you can use any color or colors you like! It didn't take as long as you may think, though I actually began this project over a month ago, I ran out of blue markers and had to wait for a new shipment. Go into i knowing it will take some time and spread it out over a few days.

What You'll Need

* White jeans {mine are Levi's Made & Crafted}
* Fabric Markers. I used Sharpie "Stained" fabric markers for the majority of my design... It took 5 of them! I used Crayola fabric markers in the lighter blues for shading and details.
* Lace or floral pattern to trace.
* Cardboard

* Questions about laundering? Wash them in cold, as you would any of your jeans, and hang them to dry {I never dry my jeans}. The markers are permanent. Have you ever tried to get an accidental pen mark out of your clothes? It's almost impossible - HOWEVER, Sharpie "Stained" markers' brush tip writes thick and the ink has been specially developed to resist fading when washed as all fabric markers most probably are.

Steps

* Begin at the ankle of your jeans, and if you're shaky, the back of the ankle. This way, if you mess up a little at first, no one will notice way down at the bottom of the back of your ankle! Slip a piece of cardboard in between just so your marker doesn't transfer to the other side of your fabric.



* I used a lace pattern because I liked the rough, textured look it created, and found one flower design in particular to repeat over the entire leg for continuity.



* Holding the lace taught, carefully {or not so carefully} mark right through the lace onto your jeans. {it's similar to the effect I created with my Snakeskin Printed Tank Top DIY}



* It should look like this... your flowers do not have to be perfect.



* Repeat the flower pattern to cover the front and back of your jeans. Make sure to space your design out and tilt your flower in various positions for a more free-flowing look. Also, don't forget to place some over the edges and seams of your jeans. Seams never line up perfectly on legs!



* You can also free-hand, if you'd prefer. I did so a bit in between my flower pattern. I also used a different part of the lace to create a leaf design, and drew some of my own with a stippling technique.



* Add some dimension with various shades of blue. I also went {stippled} over and around some of the edges with a darker blue for more depth and texture.

Voila!

Have Fun!

* Psst! Wearing them in my 30/30 denim look later today!

Jeans & a White T Outfit No. 24 80's Eclectic

* all images via flickr

What I'm Wearing
* Paper denim ripped jeans, rolled up... similar but more refined look here
* VS PINK tee
* Vintage green scarf worn as a belt and tied in a bow
* Floral bag was a gift a few years ago from SewJessica.com
* Vintage hoop earrings were my mom's
* Round Sunglasses
* Steve Madden wooden platform wedges

The Accessories

My 24th outfit in my 30 Days 30 Ways: Jeans & White T Challenge reminds me of Jellybean, Busy Phillips' character on Cougar Town, though probably not as bright as she would choose, far more eclectic than I'd usually go for - but fun. I have to admit that my hair, as heavy as it is, feels the most comfortable in a high side pony tail and I wore it like this as a kid in the 80's on several occasions. But is it appropriate for a 30-something? I dunno, probably not so much, though my mom definitely wore the style in the 80's as well and she was in her 30's at the time.
