how to style bomber jackets.

there's no denying that the bomber is back. it's the perfect combination of slouch and sophistication and can easily find a home in any woman's closet. since they're a lightweight layering piece, they'll help you tackle the rest of winter and create a nice transition into spring. just saying "spring" makes me weak in the knees! here are a few tips for looking bomb {you see what i did there!?}: 

1. since bomber jackets are often a bit cropped and boxy, they tend to take on a more masculine feel. to balance this out, wear a silk blouse underneath the jacket with jeans or match the jacket with a flirty skirt. floral and pastel bomber jackets also help soften the look.

2. a leather bomber jacket is a bomber in its true form. to wear a hey, i'm not trying too hard look, team a black or brown leather bomber with some skinny blue jeans and a white v-neck t. done and done!

finding that perfect denim.

i am a jeans girl—always have been, always will be. and lucky for me, jeans are all the rage this spring as they come in a variety of fun colors and patterns {check out my fave ones here}. that said, shopping for jeans can be simply dreadful, even for those with the skinniest of legs and smallest of waist. But with a few tips, you'll know what to look for—and what to avoid—and come out with your perfect pair {or two!}
