Hey guys! I wanted to share this outfit I wore during New York Fashion Week for one of the shows I attended. I apologize for the delay (it's been a bit of a difficult month with some family stuff going on. But God is good and getting us through it. Will maybe share more about all of that at another time.) In the meantime, appreciate your prayers.

When I was deciding what to wear to NYFW, I was feeling very Americana (a big trend we've been seeing on the runways - think denim on denim, bandanas, a little western/cowgirl, all-American looks). So last spring, I fell in love with this wide leg cropped denim jumpsuit I saw in the Anthropologie catalog (when my obsession with all things denim started) but thought it was a little pricey for my budget. Whenever I'd go in to check the sale rack, I always kept a look out to see if this jumpsuit would magically appear. Well one day in early September, it did!! It was the only one left (and in my size! yippee!). I was so excited to try it on. I had been looking for some hi rise wide leg cropped jeans for awhile now but hadn't found any that I really loved...until this jumpsuit. And it was 75% off during Labor Day weekend!! Woo hoo! I felt like this would be a really fun and different piece for my closet. I wasn't sure how much I'd get to wear it immediately with the season ending but it's been surprisingly warm in NYC this month so I've actually gotten a few good wears out of it. And will definitely be rocking it next spring/summer. So I'd say I'm pretty proud of this purchase! While I don't see this jumpsuit online anymore at Anthro, fear not b/c it is available on Poshmark and Ebay for a discounted price. Also - here are some cute jumpsuits that Anthro does have available in stores and online. They also have some super cute hi rise wide leg jeans at Anthro right now; this style looks almost identical to the Americana wash (which I love!!) and looks like a very similar fit to my jumpsuit. The key for styling a hi rise wide leg pant is to wear a fitted blouse (or crop top) to show off your waist. While the top of my jumpsuit is flowy, I think the reason it works is because it cuts off right at my waist, giving the illusion of a smaller waist.

Another trend I would definitely recommend trying is a bandana scarf. I bought this one from Madewell in two colors (mustard yellow or "Vintage Gold" and a faded red or "Spiced Rose."). You can wear them all different ways (I like to tie them in my hair whether it's down or up...even better for a bad hair day and I instantly feel cuter!) or wrap them around my neck (once or twice to change up the look). You can also tie them on your purse. It's such a cheap way to add a lot of style to your outfit. They're only $9.99! At first I wasn't sure if I could pull it off around my neck, but now I love it! I know I say this a lot, but whenever you feel like you can't pull something off, just give it a try! You never know how great it might look on you. Same thing with this jumpsuit! Be bold guys, take risks! It pays off. :)

Jewelry Style - These threader earrings are some of my favorite statement earrings from Madewell (only $28) and have become my go-to choice even for everyday outfits. You can change the length since it threads through your ear and instantly gives you that rocker chic look.
