I love flowy tops. They are so easy to wear and so comfortable to wear. #mamastyle. Scouring the internet I found lots of flowy tops with boyfriend jeans. I wasn't sure about this because it could easily look frumpy. However when I pulled my boyfriends out and put this little outfit together I realized there are a few things you definitely need to know before wearing this combo.
1. The fit. When pairing a billowy blouse with boyfriend jeans make sure that the blouse falls a bit higher than your hips. A top like this could easily look like a tunic if the hem is below your hips. When paring a longer blouse that hangs below the hips with baggier jeans it will make you look short and will add extra width to your hips (since that's where the blouse would fall...hope that makes sense). Keeping the blouse above the hips will create the illusion of longer legs (yes!!) and show where your waist actually ends!
2. Wear heels. Nude heels makes your legs look longer because you're standing taller and the color blends with your skin. Since I am short (5'2) I have to be really careful in the baggy jean department. Again boyfriend jeans are supposed to look like we are wearing our boyfriend (in my case husbands) jeans! Because they are loose fitting and a bit more masculine I think adding something feminine like heels also makes the outfit a bit more edgy.
By realizing these two things when I was putting my outfit together I was able to take an otherwise frumpy outfit and make it work for me!

I think this outfit is perfect for a date night or girls night out! Hellooooooo sexy back! Oh and the heels? Yes I totally scored those at a thrift store for super cheap. I know they are perfect for pretty much any Season and I'm so excited to own them! Okay enough bragging.... I love the edgy but sweet vibe this outfit gives off! It's sexy and relaxed at the same time and I love it!
