These are my favorite pair of jeans so I automatically thought to try to dress them up for a post. A great pair of denim jeans are definitely essential in a girl’s closet. That’s why I find investing in good pairs completely worth it! Paige Denim is my favorite brand for jeans because of the fit, the comfort and the quality. They’re a little on the pricy side, but completely worth it. There are pairs I’ve had for over five years! If you want a less expensive version of these jeans, I recently picked these up and love them… and they’re under $100!

I’ve had this white chambray blouse for a while and love how boxy it is and how it’s a modern take on the classic button down. It also comes in two other colors, but you can never go wrong with white! To dress up the look, I added in these fringe heels, which are so comfortable, and a leopard clutch! I love incorporating leopard into my outfits whenever I can without making it too flashy… so, I think this was the perfect touch!

Now, can we talk about this necklace? It comes in several colors and is gorgeous! I’m mostly obsessed with the color but I love how it can bring life to any outfit. I’ve even worn it with a casual t-shirt and it instantly gives the outfit a completely different feel!

How do you dress up your denim? I would love to know!
