STYLE JOURNEY: RIPPED UP

Hey curvy girls all over the world,

I promised myself that I would never, ever, ever use my hard earned cash to buy a pair of ripped jeans. This promise was made way back in the early 90’s. While I have always been a fan of ripped denim, I just couldn’t ever bring myself to buying a pair because I could rip up a pair of jeans myself. However, I never wanted to take the time to get the perfect ripped jeans.

Well, last week,after checking out our fall denim guide (read here) I gave in, broke my promise, and snagged me a pair of deconstructed aka ripped jeans from Forever21 plus. I figured, if I was going to give in, then I must atleast search for a deal. So, these F21 plus jeans accommodated my needs and they were under $25. That’s what I call a steal.

While scooping up the deconstructed skinny jeans, I wound up snagging this cutout shoulder sweater too. I am all for the summer knit, especially on those mid 70 degree days or a breezy 80 degree days. They are perfect. At the beginning of this year, I actually spied this sweater on Melissa from Faith, Family, Fashion. When I went to buy it, it was sold out. When I saw they brought it back, I snatched that sweater off the rack with the quickness. I absolutely think the sweater is so cute and will be even more perfect in the fall.

I wanted to punch up the look with my floral sandals from Aldo’s. I love these sandals but don’t get to wear them much. Today was a good day for them.
