Babe on a Budget: Denim for the Fall

I hate wearing pants. Really. Ask anyone that knows me and they will tell you that it is a rare occurrence to see my legs covered up by jeans.

Though I am exclusively a dress and skirt kind of girl, I have finally learned to appreciate some good ol’ denim. It’s taken me some time to realize the greatness of jeans, but after 21 years of life, I can finally rock them with confidence. The trick is finding a fit and brand that works with your body, not against it. Since it’s September and we’re leaving the summer season behind, it’s time get some ideas for the denim trends that are going to be taking over this fall season!

The beauty of jeans is that they never go out of style. They’re super versatile—they can be worn to work, for going out and for just hanging out. Levi’s is without a doubt my favorite brand of demin. They keep up with trends, they’re durable and the fit my body perfectly. They’ve managed to perfect the tailoring of jeans for both women and men. Also, they’re sold at JCPenney which is one of my favorite department stores. Here are some of my favorite picks from their fall collection and fun ways to wear them:

The Bootcut Skinny

This demi curve, bootcut skinny in a pitch black wash is perfect for everyone. The color flatters every girl and shows off her unique curves. This jean can be worn in a multitude of ways, but it appears to be ideal for a creative work environment and for a night out with friends, or your special someone. Pair it with a fun button-up, a blazer and some kick-ass heels and you are ready to go from day to night. You can also throw on a chunky sweater and add some fashionable flats for a cute and comfy look.  Remember, jeans are an investment, just like everything else in your wardrobe. You can buy these skinny jeans for $78.00 at your local Levi’s store.

The Colorful Jegging

I don’t know who invented jeggings, but they deserve an award. Seriously, jeggings provide girls with the option to look fabulous while simultaneously feeling comfortable, which may not always be the case when wearing jeans (especially on those dreadful fat days or when you’re bloated from your period.) These hollyhock colored jeggings are bound to make you look like a vibrant fashionista and feel like one too.

For only $58.00, these stretchy and colorful pants can be worn in any way possible. Pair these jeggings with an off-the-shoulder t-shirt and a blazer for a funky outfit or a hoodie and a cute pair of sneakers for the ultimate comfortable look.

The Vintage Flare 

High-waisted jeans are very trendy right now. Add a bit of flare to them and you’ve got yourself a sixties, seventies hippie vibe. However, you don’t have to be all peace and love in order to wear these saltwater colored, high waisted bellbottoms. To successfully rock these jeans, you probably have to be a bit on the tall side, otherwise the proportions may be off.

Tuck in a flowy blouse inside these jeans and rock them with a pair of wedges and you are good to go!  Currently on sale, get these jeans for only $19.90

The Light Wash

Along with a great pair of dark jeans, I believe every girl should have a fun, light-washed pair of jeans in her wardrobe. They’re perfect for a casual look and create a great contrast to the dark jeans everyone is wearing. These glory blue colored, skinny jeans are great to wear during those cool and crisp fall days. Pair them with a solid-colored cardigan, a white t-shirt and comfy sneakers, and you’re read to go run some errands, head to class or go to brunch with your best friends. Get these faded jeans for $78.00.

Hopefully these Levi’s will inspire you to have a fun and fashionable fall season!
