How to wear Jeans to work

Happy Monday....can I just say that I would rather have it freezing cold than wet & cold anyday! There goes my Monday rant...lol

Doing my daily read on Instyle.com and I came across this lovely article, had to share it with you guys. If unlike me, you are allowed Casual Fridays, well and any other day you can get away with coming into work casual, then you might love this just as much as we do ( I left most of the article the way they have it on their site, it is too good to amend). So here goes...

Get a Boyfriend Blazer

For a classic look, try upgrading a sleek pair of jeans with a structured blazer, like Sarah Jessica Parker in a black velvet number & dark denim or a bright white tuxedo design and lighter/acid-washed pair, like Gywenth Paltrow's. Think suit and match light colors with light and dark with dark.















Embrace Sequins

A bit of shimmer is an instant outfit upgrade. If you are a risk-taker (and your office is fashion-forward), try a bolder sequined piece, like Rachel Bilson's eye-popping blazer. For a more understated look, try a shimmery tank under a cropped jacket a la Rihanna.














Throw On a Cardigan

Embellished sweaters lend retro charm to a pair of jeans. Look for crafty details that will dress up denim, like Penelope Cruz's frilly ruffles or Heidi Klum's beading.



















Buy a Silk Blouse

A sweet silk blouse give your jeans a feminine feel - look for tops with pretty patterns or intricate necklines. If your workplace is more formal, skip distressed denim (like Eva Longoria-Parker bootcuts) in favor of crisp pair of dark-wash jeans such as Katherine Heigi's skinnies.














Try a Little Leather Jacket 

A cropped leather jacket gives a jeans-and-a-T-shirt look a luxurious spin. Just skip the heavy motorcycle jackets in favor of light, soft skins in classic colors, like gray (Nicole Kidman) or brown (Malin Akerman) or black. Add a feminine touch with accessories like a great pair of heels and a fun bag.















Look For a Chic Button-Down

A crisp button-down shirt  is a no-fall piece for the office. For a streamlined appearance, tuck a light-hued blouse into matching skinny jeans like Kate Moss's and take it to the next level with chic heels and a status bag. Or, if your workplace is more laid-back, try a patterned version, like Sienna Miller's and add boots and a bright satchel.
