Tipsy Favs: Jeans

March 31, 2010 by

Tipsy gals are here again to weigh in on our fav jeans.  Here’s our picks and our comments as to why they hug in all the right places.

  1. Sarah: Seven for All Mankind Bootcut Stretch Jeans: I like these jeans because they’re a) long enough to wear with boots or heels for my 5′ 11″ frame, b) curvy enough to fit my booty well,  and c) expensive enough that I have to cherish the one pair I own! 🙂
  2. Der:  Levis 537s Description Der found that she say is perfect: The Levi’s 537 Flare Jean is a classic Levi’s style. The soft heavy feel of the denim and five pocket styling are the perfect combination. The 537 is built to withstand all of the wear and tear that you can dish. Der’s description 🙂 : I feel like they hug all the right places and look great dressed up or down. BUT, I have the HARDEST time locating them. I had to buy my last pair off ebay because I couldn’t find ANY stores that sell them. BIG BUMMER. In fact, the only pic I could find is on ebay so if your a lucky size 8…snatch these UP!
  3. AK:  Joes Jean’s are my fav “going out” jeans somehow these jeans make my butt and thighs look a little smaller than they really are.  Maybe its the pocket placement or the seam placement but they are definitely worth the price to make things in the mirror smaller than they appear.  Levi 515s are my fav “knock around” jeans.  I’ve had a pair of these for a good 10-12 years and they are my go-to slouch-o-rama, weekend jeans.  They’re like butta.
  4. Court:  Old Navy Sweetheart These jeans hold up in harsh washing conditions, keep their color and don’t loose their boot cut leg which helps to balance out my curvy figure.

Ladies all shapes, sizes, and budgets–let us know what your favs are.

Outfit 911

November 6, 2009 by

My husband, being the fireman that he is, answers 911 calls for a living.  Fires, heart attacks, you name it… well, there are some emergencies that just don’t fall under his realm of expertise. That is when I step in, Outfit 911. You need me.. I’m here. What are your fashion emergencies?  On a budget for a wedding or a hot date? Got a special event planned and you have no idea what to pick from your over-exploding closet full of options? Send me the deets and I’ll be your personal Stacey London and Clinton Kelly.

My good ole’ bud AK approached me with a style dilemma just the other day… an after wedding casual event with friends with a budget of $25.00 for anything new and an abundance of options from her existing and already fabulous wardrobe.

This is the email that I received from AK:

Ok, I need some opinions…I have the J. Crew Jackie cardigan in black, turquoise, coral, orange, bright green, and a light brown.  The boots are from left to right: wine, black/red, camel/pink/navy (but the pink/navy won’t show).  And I’ll be wearing jeans.

Tell me what you think in terms of a top….I had been thinking maybe something like this??? http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=top_casual&product_id=2063568501&Page=4#

so then jewelry….tell me your thoughts. -AK

So I set out on a mission. I browsed the forever21 site of all things incredibly cheap and most of the time uber cute and found an adorably delicious bow tie top that just was beckoning to be bought and put under a lovely cardigan.

Lovely Top (Summer Bow Tank, $15.80) :

I suggested that AK go with  turquoise earrings and she showed me her options at home:

My eyes were immediately drawn to the ORANGE on the bottom right… orange will be a lovely compliment to the green cardi. So.. here we have it folks. AK will be cute, casual and chic in the outfit we selected!

When I received this email.. it dawned on me… I get a lot of these emails: My sister looking for help planning her college graduation dress and accessories, friends asking for advice on what to wear to an upcoming shower or wedding. I like helping people find the right options for that special occasion and I would love to help you out too…. send your emails to me at der AT tipsysociety DOT com. I’ll be waiting to put your fashion fires out!
