What I Love: Jean Jackets

Posted on

I remember watching “The Wedding Singer” and being completely enamored with Drew Barrymore’s jean jacket and became determined to add one to my wardrobe. And thus began my love affair…

Why I Love Them

-They are so versatile. Just like jean pants, they go with practically any color, pattern, texture or fabric.

-They are crazy comfortable….because they are denim. Duh.

-They are timeless. I mean, hello?! I pray denim never goes out of style.

How To Wear Them

-Dress down with some camo and/or cut off shorts to dress it down.

-Add an oversized scarf, statement necklace and brightly colored skinny jeans.

-Wear with oversized sunnies, leggings and an oversized t-shirt for a last minute outfit.

-Dress it up with a belted maxi (perfect date night outfit).

And I want to get married to my husband all over again, so I can wear a jean jacket with my wedding dress. Why didn’t I think of that six years ago?!?? How cute is this?!

Lucky Magazine

I’ve had a subscription to Lucky magazine since it started in 2000. I mean their tag line is “A magazine about shopping and style”, so how could I pass that up?!

I love to rip pictures out of outfits in the magazine that appeal to me and I have them in a folder to look through for inspiration whenever I am looking for something new.

I recently heard about the “Lucky Community” and signed up as a contributor.

I am still trying to figure it out (oh why couldn’t I have been blessed with a more technologically savvy brain?!), but so far, I love being able to look through other fashion bloggers style photos (although it makes me feel highly unworthy).

If you’re looking for some inspiration or just have time to kill, hop on over to the Lucky Community website. You can find me by searching for “Rena Frey”.

There’s even a contest going on right now that I’m thinking of joining. I’ll post more once I figure things out a bit.

Short (On) Inspiration

Posted on

I am enjoying summer.

Enjoying not having to have a schedule and being able to just…be.

It’s been lovely.

But blogging has fallen by the wayside and I apologize. It’s just so gosh darn lovely outside that I don’t want to sit down at the computer.

Here is a post with some old pictures taken by my phone, so bear with me.

I am a “skirt and dresses” kind of girl and rarely wear shorts. I find it hard to not just throw on a grubby t-shirt and flip flops when wearing shorts (nothing is wrong with this by the way, but it’s definitely not “style blog worthy”).

So here are some ideas for jazzing up a pair of shorts.

1. With a tucked in blouse and wide belt (work appropriate).

2. With a 3/4 length sleeved sweater and metallic flats.

3. With a sequined top. Duh.

4. With a graphic tee shirt and bright colored flats.

5. With a belted blouse and leather flats (work appropriate).
