Bo's Bodacious Blog: office look

If you follow me on IG (and do if you don't 😀), you might have seen my IG stories and my shopping adventure for jeans with my teenage daughter. I don't own a lot of jeans, a pair or two, because they aren't something that I can wear to work other than Fridays so for the most part I tend to buy things that can double up as both work and home appropriate. I have been saying I need to update my jean game for a while now but honestly didn't know where to start. I also knew that I wanted to go with a "mom jean" look this time around, although I am still keeping my one pair of skinny jeans. I wanted high waisted, relaxed fit and a lighter denim for spring and summer. I also needed to avoid holes because I can't wear them to work. My daughter LOVES shopping at Garage Clothing so she took me there. MOMS, I found not only one but two pairs of jeans I was really contemplating and they fit perfectly. I was instantly drawn to these slightly acid washed, marble jeans but the other ones I tried on were more that classic look and light blue denim color. The girl at the store said these might be a little more difficult to match and pair up with various tops, so I decided to bring them home and see what I had in my closet to go with them. I have LOTS of options and ended up keeping them and loving them!!! Here are three ways that moms who don't want to wear a crop top can style these jeans!

#1 Edgy Style: Graphic Tee, Mom Jeans, Leather Jacket + Sneaks

I love this look, probably because it's a little bit like playing dress up for me. If you are a regular reader you've probably noticed I am more of the classic and feminine, flirty, style. But I absolutely love this look and feel completely comfortable in it. A good oversized graphic tee, my leather jacket and sneaks. I also through some shades on because a) it's spring and sunny and b) they add a little more drama. Weekend ready!

#2 Off to the Office: Mom Jeans, Oversized Blazer + Pumps

They totally work for the office and you are ready to meet up for a drink on a patio right after work! I love how this look came together and it's one that I have already worn to work and had a ton of complements on. I added some H & B sparkle to the outfit with the earrings and a simple initial necklace, and even though I have to wear a mask in the school, when I am gong to be having zoom meetings, I also through on some bold read lipstick.

#3 Pop of Color: Jean, Shoes & top same color family, Pop of color (purse/jewelry)

I love my Kate Spade bag and it's bold color! It's a favorite in my closet in the spring/summer and always puts a smile on my face. One day when we are allowed to travel again, a visit to a Kate Spade store is going to be right up there on my list. This look is fairly monochromatic with the greys and blues, and the unexpected pop of coral from the purse just gives this outfit enough interest without being flashy or trying too hard.
