That Time I Wore Silver Pants ~ A Special Edition of Made in America Monday

No, not this time:

This time:

I'd be lying if I said I saw these metallic silver skinny jeans and instantly fell in love.  Actually, I didn't give them a second glance.  I picked out the same jeans in black for a girlfriend to try on and went about my merry way.  Thankfully, Miss Kiley (owner of Kouture) handed me a pair, told me they were REVERSIBLE, on sale for $40!!!!, and insisted I try them on.  I'm so glad I did.  They fit PERFECTLY and are just far enough outside my comfort zone to be fashionably fun.

What are these magic, reversible jeans you ask?  Well, (sadly for you) Kouture is currently sold out, buuuuut, they are BLEULAB, retail for $225 and are proudly made in the USA.  I'm obsessed, if they weren't sold out I would buy them in every color.  Love, love, love!

Are you having a case of the Mondays?  Try wearing something a little outside your comfort zone this week; remember, fashion should be FUN!  Take a lesson from the Tin Man and throw some metallic into the mix, you might just surprise yourself.

Two for Tuesday: It's all About the Shoes

Shoes can make or break an outfit.  They can also take a look from casual to dressy faster than you can say NORDSTROM Anniversary Sale.

Take this look for example:

1.  Daytime Flats

2.  Evening Wedges

Which to do prefer comfy flats or sky high heels?

Back in Black

Hello!  Sorry for being MIA.  I threw my back out on Thursday and have been hopped up on pain killers and muscle relaxers for the last few days.  Since I have impeccable timing (aka the worst luck), my 30th birthday party was Saturday and despite hefty prescription drugs and multiple visits to the chiropractor, I was still in pretty bad shape.  I was in [tolerable] pain all night, had trouble getting in and out of the limo, couldn't dance at da club, had to cancel my blow out appointment, and worst of all: could not wear heels, which ruined my outfit!

Here are the shoes I planned on wearing:

Beverly Feldman Shoes

Here are the shoes I had to wear to avoid ending up in traction:

Thankfully, I have an amazing group of friends who helped me rally and have a great time despite the crappy circumstances.  Two of my besties even flew in from NYC to celebrate!  I just wish I could have been more fun [read: drank tequila].  I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time in spite of my crooked back, slow moving gate, and overall lameness.

Here are some pics from the night:

Besties!

Jeanne and I have been friends since Kindergarten.
I'm pretty sure this is the only time we've been
even close to the same height.

ONE Nightclub:

And since inquiring minds like to know and this is supposed to be a fashion blog:  I'm wearing a BCBG top, vintage necklace, a.n.a. black skinny jeans, Steve Madden shoes, Movado watch, Silpada ring, thrifted earrings, and Jewelry by Lindsay bracelet.

A big thanks to everyone who shared in my special day!   I'm so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life!

Smooches,

Jenny
