Hello, friends! Happy Friday!

Today marks the start of my 3-part series with American Eagle where I’ve been challenged to style three fits of denim! I couldn’t think of a better project to kick of the New Year because a.) American Eagle rocks and b.) As you guys know, I’m a sucker for jeans!

Truth be told, my addiction to jeans is problem but I ain’t gon stop buying them. I probably have close to 50 pairs of jeans in my closet right now. For someone who lives in a teeny tiny studio apartment, that’s a lot of closet space.

I attribute this to the fact that jeans, much like jackets or shoes, can be worn over and over therefore, totally justifying the cost. (Or, little cost if you buy them at American Eagle – a great option for those of you on a budget.)

I’m also very petite, about 5’2”, so finding a pair of jeans that fit my body without any alternations is rare.

These jeans are perfect. They fit slim through the thigh and slightly flare out from the knee, making my legs look a mile long! They also have a cool, worn-in feel to them and the stretch denim makes them very comfortable to wear all day long.

Let me not forget to mention that jeans can be worn with EVERYTHING in your closet. From blazers to cute tops to comfy tees, they are very versatile.

Case in point…

I styled this look with a chunky knit sweater and a chic belt cinched at the waist with block-heeled sandals to add height. I layered on lots of rings, wore my favorite gold watch and a pair of classic aviators.

Tuck in a white men’s V-neck t-shirt with an oversized cardigan and a pair of pointed-toe pumps and you have a completely different look. Throw on a denim button down with a felt hat for a “street style” look. I could go on and on…

But I have a lots and lots to do today so I’m signing off! Find more jean inspiration on American Eagle’s blog here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Xo, Stephanie
