... How I Wear My Jeans ...

Today the lovely Adrienne from The Rich Life on a Budget ...andJill from Everything Just So ...are celebrating their two year anniversary of their
How I Wear MY series ....
This month's topic is jeans
which got me thinking abouthow I wear my jeans.
Initially I was thinking...
"Oh I'm not really a jeans kinda gal ...except maybe at home ...or errands ...but going back through my pictures ...
I realized that wasn't even true ...
I began to realize ...just how often I do use jeans as a building block to many of my outfits.
Looking back ...I realized how my jeans are a perfect and functional juxtapositionto some of my more flamboyant pieces.
Balancing dramatic flair...with true wearability.


When I am here in Southern California my staple wardrobe usually consists of neutral shades ofcreams and whites ...which makes my white jeans the work horse of my wardrobe...summer or winter...
always a grounding force with my statement pieces...
and ...
the perfect functioning piecefor so many occasions ...
and looks.
City or....
sand.
My white jeans are the perfect piece to packfor weekend getaways... because the truly do go with most everything I pack.
I knewI used my jeans regularly at home ...and for local errands ...
But now after HIWM I know just how much my jeansare truly a major player inmy style ofDown to Earth Glamour
My one pair of JAG jeans ...got me all across Europe last year ....from the high streets of London...to visiting my daughter in Italy ...to the cafes of Paris ...and walking the golf course in Saint Andrew's.
My jeans and my felt fedorawere comforting travel companions ...and were the cornerstone of all my  travel wardrobe styling.
So thank you Adrienne and Jillfor another fabulous series!Participating always helps me refine my style...either by making new choices out of my usual comfort zone ...like last months neon ...or this month ... when it had me finding moreclarity in my own personal style of down to earth glamour.
