Autumn is here and with it all the jeans + blouse combinations. I have taken to wearing jeans all year long - in summer I suffer through happily because, let's face it, if I wear jeans I don't always have to shave my legs in the morning before work and that's worth a lot to me. This means I'm in practice for all the non-autumn temperatures we have going on after summer officially ceases around here. While I would like to bring out all my sweaters, ankle booties, and vampy lipsticks, the fact is that we're still working to divorce ourselves from the summer heat. Jeans are an easy way to channel your inner scarlet maple leaf while admitting summer's sway. And when you want to elevate your denim, what better way than with a gentle up-do, swingin' heels, and an off-shoulder blouse?
