hey friends! long time no chat – life has been FULL lately so the best place to keep up with me these days is on Instagram – although I hope to blog more frequently in 2022 🙂
I’m not planning much shopping this weekend but I did want to share my staple pieces that are on sale this weekend! Everything I’m talking about below is from Shopbop and through 11.28 you can save 20% by using the code HOLIDAY.
It’s not secret I love denim – jeans, denim shorts, skirts, denim jackets, etc. The older I get the more I appreciate really good denim, and Shopbop has no shortage of that. Some of my favorite brands are Edwin, AGOLDE, Mother and Madewell, all of which are sold there!
Sidenote: if you struggle to find jeans that fit/you like – then I wrote a blog post for you. Check out the post – 5 Questions to Ask to Find the Perfect Denim for you!
I know I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but why I love good denim so much is that it lasts. (and it breaks in so well!) I don’t want to be constantly buying new jeans. I want to have the pairs I adore and continue to wear them year after year, and that’s what I do with all my pairs from Shopbop.
Because nice denim is an investment, if you’ve been eyeing any pairs at Shopbop now is the time!
Save 20% off through 11.28 with the code HOLIDAY
I’ve shared about the Cai Straight denim from Edwin for the past year and a half, and they are still hands down my most worn pair. But, this year I added two new pairs to my constant rotation. On the left below are the Lana Midrise Vintage Straight from AGOLDE. I ordered my normal size and the only adjustment I made was cutting 5 inches off the bottom (I’m pretty darn short). They took a day or two to break in but are now a pair I frequently reach for.
My second recent addition is also from the brand Edwin (a sustainable Japanese brand) and are the Kali Ankle jean. I love the simple medium wash without distressing for this pair. I did also chop the hem on these, but only about 1.5 inches. I sized up one size in this pair and had the waist taken in, just like I did for my other Edwin pair. Here they are in action below on the right! In both photos I am wearing the Sam Edelman Loraine loafer (also from Shopbop) and these are amazing. So amazing I wrote an entire blog post on them here.
Below are the Cai Straight jeans from Edwin I’ve mentioned probably an annoying amount. They’re my most broken in and comfortable pair I own. Are they the most flattering? Not really. Do I care? Also not really. Now that cold weather is upon us they will be getting less wear, but they are my go-to for spring, summer and fall. Since they re 100% cotton I order one size up to fit the butt and thighs, then get the waist taken in. Shop them here and save 20% by using the code HOLIDAY
And since we’re really here to talk denim, I can’t skip over my summer denim aka, denim shorts. I have 3 pair that I constantly rotate through, all from AGOLDE. (I love them). Below are two pair – on the left, the Reese and on the right, the Parker. The Reese has a longer inseam which makes them appropriate for more places, where as with the Parker I stick to more casual things and the beach/pool/vacation. Conveniently the Reese are already on sale (shop them here!) and you can save an extra 15% with the code HOLIDAY. Here is the link to my exact Parker pair, but Shopbop has multiple different washes and styles in each, which you can see here.
And, if you’re looking for a deep dive on the shorts (sizing, inseam, fit, etc) – I wrote a review post comparing the three pairs I own from the brand here! I have converted multiple friends and family members to AGOLDE denim shorts, I adore them!
As always, please reach out if you have questions about anything, but if you’re in the market for denim – the Shopbop sale is the place to find it. Happy weekend!
