helloSTYLE // the jean jacket

“do you not know that your bodies are temples of the holy spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from god? you are not your own; you were bought at a price. therefore honor god with your bodies.” 1 corinthians 6:19-20

since i’m all about being frugal and modest with my wardrobe, today we’re gonna talk about how one piece can carry you through many outfits.

come take a look!

if you were a child or teenager of the 80’s, i know you sported a jean jacket. and you get extra cool points if it was stone washed.

today, the jean jacket still has a very important place in our wardrobe without looking kelly from saved by the bell.

why you ask? as my mother once told me, “jeans are not blue. they are a neutral which means they go with everything.” so mom, if you’re reading this, you were right, as you always are!

this jean jacket from target a few years ago has been a staple in my closet because it really does go with everything. and the main thing i focus on when i shop is how to get the most out of each piece i purchase.
i ask myself these 3 questions when selecting an item:
1 // will it go with at least 3 other items in my closet?
2 // do i have shoes to wear with it?
3 // will it last beyond the trends?

a form fitting denim jacket will.

and below i will show you just how versatile it can be.

skirt: handmade by me

my favorite part about this skirt (that used to be a dress) is the pockets.

the patterned tank has some of the bright blue of the pants and some dark blue that pulls the denim color in.
