Another attempt at the boyfriend jean trend.  I think this is the closest I've come to pulling it off.  It took me a while to figure out where I was going wrong.  I finally determined that my jeans weren't baggy enough.  I'm not a big fan of baggy jeans.  With my figure, baggy just doesn't do it.  They usually make me look heavier.   The other day I found these jeans in the back corner of my closet.  You know that corner where all the missing socks go to multiply!  Yep, that's the place.  I decided to give this look one more try.
I pared them with a denim shirt, fur vest and fleece booties.  

The look went well with my Saturday activities.  We went out to lunch and then drove on to the cabin.
I'm not sure if I'll wear it again.  But it was fun for the day.

Hope everybody has a good week and keep those smiles styling!

Linking up with Patti @ for Not Dead Yet Style for her visible Monday link up.  Pop on over and show us what makes you feel visible.

  1. You know, you may be onto something here. Sometimes, baggy is flattering! I've just never quite been able to figure out what makes some versions of baggy flattering while others are unflattering. It's a puzzle, isn't it? But you look cute in those! Happy Visible Monday.

  5. Tammy--It works! I'm the same way about baggy jeans and yet, there ARE times I actually wear a pair (say when we are raking leaves at the lake). I've been studying this look a lot lately...as I've noticed that many of my younger colleagues wear this to teach in on an almost daily basis. By contrast, I'm waaaay too dressed up.

  8. Tammy, I am laughing my ass off at your comment about washing your face and getting what I said about the 70th follower. I was only kidding and I hope you know that. I don't worry about followers either but it is annoying when stuck on a number for weeks. You deserve every follower you have...thanks for the laugh. I needed it. I understand about the link...it is a lot of work to keep up with...I give you all the credit. You are not getting older, you are getting better!! Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo

  10. I like. It kind of has a western look, which I'm very fond of.

  11. Tammy, you look great in this outfit. I think you are way too critical of yourself. I haven't seen anything you don't look good in. The fur vest is the perfect topper for this outfit. And I love your hair. It always looks so perfect!

  13. Hey Tammy! Yea, baggy jeans don't work for me either - actually, jeans in general are tough for me but I think these look SO cute on you! I think the little cuff at the bottom gives them a tapered look and ads a little feminine touch. Perfect "cabin wear"!

  14. I think you nailed the baggy jean look! Its key to role them up too--and wear cute heels like you did. Perfection!
