Ms. Green Jeans

Posted in Fashion by goldfacedbetty on January 25, 2012

I can always remember when I was younger visiting the Toronto Eaton Centre — the almighty of malls, being from Ottawa — and my sister and I begging my parents to bring us to Mr. Green Jeans for lunch. I don’t even remember if the food was good, but in my twisted child mind I think I believed that my mom used to serve there when she first studied fashion at George Brown (then located in Kensington and now the Kensington Market Lofts). Of course, she didn’t actually waitress there, but that’s all besides the point now.

Coloured denim, where do I begin. Last spring/summer/fall it was all a see of red, but now the denim has run free from it’s ruby roots and is turning to a more diverse palette. These Rag & Bone denim skinnies combine but two loves, colour and zippers. Moving into the warmer months of spring I’ll be opting for a more colourful wardrobe, leaving my shades of grey behind, for the most part. Let’s style this deep green jeans two ways and prep for the better months of the year. And don’t forget, this spring no outfit is complete without neon, duh!

the perfect boot: splurge vs. steal

Although I’m not one to be frugal or scope out the deals, sometimes my time (and patience) is more valuable than money, I have to share my latest purchase.  I’ve been looking for the perfect spring boot, that can be dressed up or down, with the perfect heel.  Something similar to these Acne short boots.

 

SPLURGE vs. STEAL

 

When I came across these H&M Blundstones inspired boot, with the perfect heel (2ish inches), I could not pass up the $39.95 deal.  Would you?  I’ve worn these babies everywhere & with everything. Jeans, black jeans, leggins, a girly floral skirt and tights, really everything.  I even think they’ll be amazing with bare legs and jean shorts this summer.  Best of all they’re so comfortable & so far waterproof.

So take it from me: go out, buy these, be frugal & practical.
