Today we are going to play a little game called t-shirt and jeans three ways.
1. take your plain white v-neck tee + a favorite pair of dark wash jeans + some great accessories and simply add a jacket. This is an oldie but goodie. Black and white houndstooth is a classic. I usually only wear this jacket dressed up with a skirt but I like how it dresses up the basic t-shirt and jeans. You could wear this to lunch with friends or the dentist office if you are like me.

2. same tee + same jeans + same accessories + another black and white houndstooth jacket, this time in a mini-print. Another old jacket but when you roll up the sleeves then you can pretend like it is a new boyfriend jacket.

3. finally, tee + jeans + accessories + leather jacket. I like this look. It's a little bit tough suburban mom who wants to be a biker chick and a little bit feminine because of the shoulder detail and quilted yoke.

One of my fashion resolutions for 2009 was to ditch hoodies. I still wear them but I had to stop myself from buying them. I only bought one. I think that's pretty good. I needed a hoodie replacement and so cardigans and jackets have been my go to items. They look less frumpy and more polished. Next time you find yourself reaching for a hoodie, try a jacket instead.
My fashion resolution for 2010 is to be more adventurous with mixing colors. Today I wore a blue sweater, red boots and a mustard purse. I should have gotten a picture. It was daring.
Fashion resolutions are the only fun resolutions.

You look fantastic! Why are you not working for Elle or Style magazine? LOVE the jackets and your hair is looking tres chic!
Okay - I tried this look and i didn't feel comfortable in it. Maybe my clothes aren't cute enough. I will try again today. I have some fun meetings so i will try this look.
Oh, I'm sorry you didn't get a pic! You would have loved my black / hot pink heels combo on Sunday. I thought of you as I left the house...
Can I still do the jacket thing with my huge boobs? I always feel like I lose my waist when I wear jackets, but I am probably not buying the right ones. I think I need you to come here and take me shopping.
love, love, LOVE the jacket, jeans, and tee ensembles. and i'm digging the new blog header pic, too :)
So cute and you are so fun! All I can keep thinking is how HOT you are!! Seriously! I want to be you when I grow up! :)
Awesome.
I now need to invest in jackets.
I am loving the outfit you described wearing today! mixing colors exudes confidence!
I am so excited to read this. I have a gray hoodie that I wear all of the time and I was thinking just the other day that I really need to get a more tailored looking jacket...so I would look less frumpy. I had gleaned this information from one of your previous posts about the military jacket and boyfriend jacket. I am so excited that I am actually changing my way of thinking.
I really love your hair. Very sassy and sharp. ☺
two words -- you're hot!
it still counts as a single word even if it's a contraction right?
and, we must, must, MUST see the red boots, really, WE MUST!
LOVE IT!!! I am all for a great jacket.
I have a leather jacket that I can't decide if it's cool enough to wear or not. I need your help.
Oh the color mixing thing: always looks so good on blogs and in magazines but I had matchy-matchy way too ingrained in me as a child to even dare.
You always look so amazing. It's intimidating. The next time I see you I think I'm going to feel all frumy and not nearly cute enough. I need to buy more jackets!
