What Is The Weather? OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! I have been daydreaming of fall weather since last fall and Ohio is simply not delivering. It has been hot AF here and still feels like summer and I genuinely can’t stand it lol. It flip flops from needing a hoodie in the morning to wanting to be in a bikini by mid afternoon and it begs the question of what the hell to wear! As I refuse to shave my legs once fall hits (Even if it doesn’t feel like it!), my formula is jeans on the bottom paired with an itty bitty top. Just like this new look! Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

He Loves Me Not Crop Top: This was purchased FOREVER ago when I worked at PacSun as a teenager!

Bedazzled Boyfriend Jeans: Banjara, TJMaxx

Lavender Platforms: Olivia Miller, Walmart

The cross earrings are Lucky Brand and were a gift from my mom!

After a long summer of shorts and shaving, you can catch me posted up in jeans even if it is ninety degrees on a fall day. So, in the case of this OOTD, I started styling with the pantaloons department. As you all know, I am a skinny jean girl through and through. However, my favorite pair has got to be my bedazzled boyfriend jeans by Banjara. Try saying that five times fast! I adore the slouchy fit, the distressing, and the blingy surprise and I have never seen a pair like them before – which is exactly how I like it! These jeans are uber cool and unique and make something special out of a basic essential. Boyfriend jeans are made to be worn with a close fit top and I knew just what I wanted to pair it with…

The cutest little crop top from PacSun! This top is old as dirt but I just love it so much. How sweet is that he loves me, he loves me not pattern?! I vividly remember doing shipment at work when we received this crop and bought it immediately after my shift. It’s one of those items that I can’t part with and I’m glad I held onto it for all of these years because it’s perfect with my boyfriend jeans! It provides this OOTD with some shape to balance out the baggy jeans and shows some skin too. That’s ideal because it keeps me cool when I am forever questioning What Is The Weather? 😀

Finally, it was onto shoes and accessories. For shoes, I went with a pair of lavender Olivia Miller platforms from Walmart. These babies were only FIVE DOLLARS – talk about a total steal! As my jeans were pretty long in length, I needed that extra height to keep them from dragging and it provided a pastel pop of color to the All Black Everything look. Since a lot of my tattoos were on display, I kept jewelry minimal with a pair of dangly turquoise cross earrings and was ready to step out in whatever climate Ohio found itself in!

Not quite fall, not quite summer but one hundred percent fashion fun! What Is The Weather? A forecast of hot days and hotter OOTDs!

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
