Double Date OOTD

Double Date OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! This past Friday, Johnny and I enjoyed a fabulous Double Date with my bestie and her boyfriend. We hit up our favorite Mexican restaurant and a wonderful time was had by all. Of course, I had to put together a fun little fit for the occasion. It was simple and nothing major but I loved how it turned out! Take a look:

Who? What? Wear?

Moto Jacket: Silence + Noise, this was a hand me down from my sister!

Tank Top: Rachel Zoe, TJMaxx

Skinny Jeans: 1822 Denim, TJMaxx

Boots: Formentini, TJMaxx

Earrings: Bella Jack, TJMaxx

Sunglasses: Lucky Brand, TJMaxx

As a forever emo kid, I always have All Black Everything OOTDs on my mind and that was what I was in the mood for for our night on the town. It was a fairly nice evening that only required a light jacket and the first thing that came to mind was a hand me down moto jacket from my sister. Funnily enough, Johnny wanted to wear it that night too because he claims it’s “his” but I got to it first! What’s that old saying about the early bird and the moto jacket again?

From there, all that was left to do was complete the base of the look with obvious choices. I put on one of my favorite tank tops by Rachel Zoe that I recently got reunited with during a bout of spring cleaning. I truly thought I lost it and it feels so good to wear it again! Then, I got to break out a fresh new pair of black skinny jeans by 1822 Denim. I have to get at least one new pair per year because I can’t stand when they fade and was ecstatic to find one in my go to brand during a quick trip to TJMaxx. They are crispy AF and you KNOW I was feeling my damn self! 😀

Finally, it was onto shoes and accessories. I popped on a gorgeous pair of translucent blue flower earrings by Bella Jack for some whimsical movement and a bit of color, albeit a muted one! I also couldn’t wait to bust out my new pair of Lucky Brand sunglasses which were perfectly cool with this fit. To complete the look, I went for a pair of statement boots by Formentini. These added such incredible length and the stone hue was no harm no foul with a fully neutral base. Trust and believe I was strutting in these babies because these boots were made to show out!

With that, I was ready for the best night with all of my favorites! Stay tuned for the Blooper Reel and peep more from this look on my TikTok – @lilred6794 !!

Do you and your SO share clothes? Do you get hand me down clothing from anyone? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Jean Queen Pt. 2

Jean Queen Pt. 2

Hello! This past week, I made a quick run to TJMaxx to pick up a few odds and ends. I needed mascara, I wanted to find a birthday gift for my dad, and I was in desperate need of new black skinny jeans. It has been a phat minute since I purchased new jeans from American Eagle and one of my pairs got a hole right in the crotch and needed replaced. Smh! While I am extremely partial to the jeans from AE, I knew I could find a cheaper pair at TJs and ended up walking away with two pairs for under thirty dollars. Talk about a steal! Check it out:

^^^ Don’t mind my broken nail lol double smh

When I shop at TJMaxx, I can’t help but try on a little bit of everything even though I don’t really need it. What can I say, I live for my treats! The fashion gods must have been telling me to hold off, though, because literally everything I tried on didn’t work except the two pairs of jeans I picked out. I was on the hunt for a classic pair of black skinnies, but I wasn’t opposed to something different too. I asked and received because I got exactly what I wanted!

The first pair of jeans by Banjara was found in the juniors department and on clearance. I fell in love with the rhinestones adorning the distressing and I also loved the price. These were only eight dollars. Score! Although they aren’t a standard skinny fit, I was thrilled by them because I have been looking for a good pair of boyfriend jeans. I wore my husband’s jeans once and it was a never again thing lol. It was weird trying on something other than skinnies, but they fit perfectly and looked so freaking cool. I can’t wait to style an OOTD with them. 😀

After trying on the Banjara jeans, the great successes kept rolling with the skinnies by 1822 Denim. This is a brand that I am familiar with, but I have never owned anything by. Now that I know their jeans are awesome, I will definitely be looking for the brand again the next time I need a new pair. These jeans fit like a glove, were an inky jet black (My black skinnies are really faded), and offered a unique pop with the ankle fringe. Not only did they check off all of my boxes, but they were comfortable as can be. It felt like wearing leggings even though it was a jean material! As soon as I got home, my jeans with the crotch hole went straight into the garbage because I found the ideal replacement!

Sometimes, TJMaxx tells you what you need. Other times, TJMaxx gives you exactly what you need. The latter was the case with this shopping trip and these jeans gave American Eagle a run for their money!

What is your favorite brand of denim? How often do you buy new jeans? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
