These Are The Staples I am Adding To My Wardrobe for Spring
Spring is upon us - technically. The colder than normal temps may say otherwise but I am choosing to ignore them. So while I am still rocking sweaters and my leather boots I am looking forward to that magical time when the weather here in Chicago finally gets warmer- and stays warmer. And I have been adding a few items in preparation. I have decided not to shop too much for the season. I only want to add a few key pieces that I can wear again and again and that will transition nicely to the hotter summer temps. The main thing on my list? Jeans. Right now, I am all about the high waist wide leg life. I’m also all about investing a bit more money in a truly good pair. I own a ton of meh pairs of jeans that I will be getting rid of in lieu of a couple of pairs of “great” jeans. I recently purchased the pair of Paige jeans in the collage below and OMG - they were a game-changer for me. The fit is amazing (though I will still have to have the tailored as the inseam is super long but I’m okay with that). I’ve honestly never had a pair of jeans fit me so well and now I’m excited and motivate to find at least one (or two) more pairs that will do the same.

Now, as you all know I am allergic to paying retail prices for things if I can avoid it and that goes for expensive denim as well. So I am also scouring my faves The Real Real, Tradesy and ThredUp for deals on jeans from these brands.
