Two for Tuesday: Madewell Cutoffs

One of my favorite items in my summer wardrobe is a pair of Madewell acid wash cutoffs.  They are distressed, just lose enough, and can be worn with anything.

Here are two examples of how I styled mine this week:

1.  Daytime Shopping

Dorfman Pacific Co. fedora, Madwell sunnies, F21 top, Target bag, Madewell cutoffs.
Doesn't get much easier than this:  no makeup, no jewelry, no shower?  No problem. 

2.  Beachside Dinner

Madewell sunnies (as headband), Shop Peppermint earrings, TJMaxx top,
JCrew belt, Beau ring, a million bracelets, Madewell cutoffs.

What's your favorite wear-with-anything summer staple?

A Vested Interest

If you told me a few years ago I'd be rocking a denim vest like nobody's business, I would have told you you were crazy.  

Denim vests?  Been there, done that.  Bedazzled it. 

I  mean, really?  Denim vests are soooooo 1995 - or in my case, so 5 minutes ago...

Oh yes, five minutes this was happening.
Rocked this look at a Rochester Blogger Network event.
With converse sneakers.
Like a boss.

I have a feeling I've worn this outfit before...
Pretty sure it was in 7th grade...

In case you're wondering if the vest-spotting was an isolated incident, it wasn't.  I also wore it last week over a maxi.  It's quickly becoming my new favorite piece of clothing.

What about you?  Thinking about sprucing up your wardrobe?  Cooler temps throwing a wrench in your summer style plans?  Try (or in my case re-try) the denim vest; it looks cute over dresses, tanks, and tees.  It's a fun, affordable way to revamp pieces that are already in your closet.

You can breathe some new life into your wardrobe via the 90s.

And if 1995 calls and asks for her vest back, tell her she can't have it.  You'll be too busy listening to Alanis, watching Home Improvement, and signing your married name (Jennifer Gosselaar) in your five star notebook...

Made in America Mondays ~ Acoustic Denim Giveaway

Let's talk denim today shall we?  I just found out about this fabulous new made in the USA brand called Acoustic Denim.  

Here's a little bit about the company:

Acoustic Denim is all about American made denim. In fact, all of our products are made right in the heart of Los Angeles, California. Our vision is to produce American products that highlight the most current trends in fashion. The company leaders are veterans with 30 years of experience, and we believe in a hands on approach to quality control.

The name Acoustic was chosen, because it reflects the company’s ideals. Acoustic is raw, original, without influence, and more importantly, it’s about natural outcome from hard work. The mission at Acoustic is just that, to bring in all abilities in order to achieve a beautiful outcome in the products. Acoustic Denim’s emphasis is in the originality of American made denim for customers who appreciate American fashion.

I typically have a hard time finding jeans.  I'm 5'9 (long legs) and curvy (junk in the trunk).  Usually if I can get pants to fit my butt/thighs they are swimming around my waist.  And if I do find a pair to fit my mid section they tend to be too short.  Ah, the old waiting-for-the-flood effect.  Not.  Cute.  Thank God riding boots are in - I can tuck my too short jeans into them and no one has to know a thing!  ;)

However, my two fabulous pairs of Acoustic denim fit like a glove without a visit to the tailor.  Hallelujah!  They are even long enough to wear with heels.  Shut.  Up.  These jeans fit great, are high quality, and made in the USA.  What's not to love?

Oh, almost forgot to tell you the best part!  This brand is only available at few select boutiques right  now, but Acoustic Denim is giving a pair away to one lucky Flower City Fashionista reader!  You can be one of the first of your friends to own what is sure to be one of the most popular brands of denim in the USA.  If you win, you will have your choice of the two styles that I am modeling below.  (Let's keep in mind that I use the term "modeling" loosely.  I have about three poses and my husband takes pictures of me in our living room with my i-phone...)

Pair # 1 High-Waisted Dark Wash (Size 31):

Pair #2 Raspberry Railroad Stripe (Size 30)

And now for the giveaway!  You will win your choice of either the raspberry railroad stripe or the high-waisted dark wash.  Sorry, but US residents only.  Available in sizes 25-31.

Best of luck lovelies!
