With the transition into Spring, distressed denim will become even more of a staple in many of our closets. Our knees won’t be so cold anymore 😉

I love when my jeans do the talking in an outfit. You can literally pair a plain white tee shirt with a pair of great distressed denim, and look great. Another huge benefit about distressed denim is that you don’t have to spend $200 for a great pair of jeans. Most of the distressed denim I own are under $80 per pair, some even under $60.

The jeans I’m wearing in this post are one of my favorite pairs. They are very similar to this pair that I always wear. They are by the same brand, are the same price, but just are a different wash, and the rips are slightly different. I love that the was on these is a bit lighter. They are going to look so cute for Spring and Summer. Both pairs are uh-mazing, and if you haven’t already added them to your wardrobe, you should! They fit true to size, and they will quickly become your absolute favorite pair of jeans.

Recently I found two amazing pair of jeans at American Eagle of all places. I hadn’t been there in years, and I randomly popped in. I found this pair which are a lighter wash with the perfect knee holes, and this pair which is a darker wash with a lot of distressing. I love them both, and they had so many more amazing pairs! I’m also linking two great pairs I found at Express recently below. Both American Eagle and Express have buy one, get one 50% off sales on jeans a lot, so it’s pretty great to get a couple of pairs during those sales!

And I know that we’re talking about amazing jeans today, but we have to talk about this incredible, oversized, cardigan! You guys it’s probably my favorite purchase, almost ever, and I love the color so much! It also comes in 2 other colors, but I’m so happy because this color is back in stock! This girl loves some blush pink!

    I totally agree with about distressed denim. I actually say out loud to my gfs “what did we do before distressed/boyfriend jeans or nude pumps?!?!?” They make outfits so darn chic!! AND that oversized cardi is so cute. I am loving the whole boyfriend trend right now!! Love the color too!!
