I am all about the classics. Stripes and denim paired together make for an easy and put together look. Added a structured tote and matching cognac wedges to finish it off. The point is that outfits don’t have to be complicated to be great. What I love about this particular one is that the classics are well done.
I recently went into Madewell with my mom and walked out with more in one shopping trip than I have in a long time. I had heard tales of how great their denim is, and now I can personally testify. If you are in need of jeans, get yourself to a Madewell now (not a sponsored post). I’m one of those people who has way too many pairs of jeans in my closet that I only half like, and I am on a mission to change it. Anyone else? Tell me I am not the only one. I bought two pairs in one shopping trip which is basically unheard of for me. I have the hardest time finding denim! I’m super excited aboutΒ a post I have coming up with AG too. Bring on the good denim! All that to say, I tried on every pair of jeans in my closest and took about 5 to the resale shop. This high rise classic wash pair has hardly left my body since it came home with me. They fit true to size.
I feel a bit like a broken record since I have said this on the blog before, but since having Ivy my life and wardrobe has changed a lot as you can imagine. So many wonderful changes, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In some ways, I have felt a bit lost. As I learn ways to be stylish while also being practical and functional in my role as a mom, I love sharing those pieces with you. This blog continues to evolve with my life as I want to keep the outfits things I really wear. Insert cute t-shirts like this striped tie back one. Love when fun detailing meets wearability. I actually wore this exact outfit to take sweet Ivy girl to the doctor. This tote doubles well as a diaper bag.
Classic Style: Stripes and Denim
Last but not least, I am excited to be cohosting Fashion Elite with J Petite today! That is why I am posting today instead of on my usual Wednesday. It’s a free week which is even better. That means you can link up any outfit you want. Speaking of linkups, I am really excited to announce that Gina of On the Daily Express and I are going to start hosting our own weekly linkup next Wednesday. I have long been a follower and fan of Gina, so I am excited to collaborate with her in this way. We hope it will be a place to inspire you each week. It will be called Style on the Daily, so get ready to share your outfits next Wednesday! Yay!

Yay I’m excited for your linkup! Madewell denim is my absolute favorite, too. You probably already knew that because they are basically the only jeans I wear! So happy you’re now part of the Madewell tribe, haha.

I just found your blog today and from there found J Petite. Love both your blogs! I have that Tory Burch bag and I seem to use it more than any bag I own! Fun link up and excited to meet new bloggers! Peace!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Isn’t this the best bag?! What’s your blog? I’d love to visit.
My blog is http://www.northwestmountainliving.com. I’ll be checking back in to next week’s link up, I found several new bloggers to follow this week! Peace!
Love this top! You can never have too many stripes. And AG and Madewell are two of my top brands for denim because I am not on the tall side, and they fit so well. I also really love the classic Levi 501’s.
What a cute top, and then the fun in the back of it was such a great surprise!!!
I have been on the search for a new pair of jeans—I’ll have to check these out!
