[Music]



00:08

[Applause]



00:09

today my friends we're going to talk



00:11

about denim now a couple weeks ago you



00:13

and i met here and we talked denim a



00:15

little bit then and in those last couple



00:17

weeks we have gotten in a fantastic



00:20

variety of even more denim i'm going to



00:22

start with this pair of denim that i'm



00:24

wearing from ammo



00:25

if that's a new brand for you it's



00:27

spelled amo



00:29

all caps we are loving this one the one



00:32

that i have on right now is called the



00:33

frida



00:35

she is a high rise



00:37

she has a wide leg i'm just going to



00:38

show you from the side here a little bit



00:40

so she's got that wide leg but it goes



00:42

straight down the shape and then there



00:44

is some distressing right here on the



00:46

bottom which keeps it very current and



00:49

then i'm wearing it with some slides



00:51

we'll talk about the um



00:52

the shoes in a little bit but i just



00:54

wanted to show you at 5 9 where it hits



00:57

me i'm wearing these are probably about



00:58

three inches uh three and a half inches



01:00

tall um but even if i were to wear them



01:04

like with a flat they would still just



01:05

skim the floor um at five nine so those



01:08

petite gals um you can still wear these



01:11

you would just um cut them and then the



01:13

distressing will naturally happen as you



01:15

wash them but you're still going to have



01:17

that same shape even if you need to trim



01:18

them up a little there's some



01:19

distressing on the pockets if you can



01:21

see right here which i love that little



01:22

detail um they are and



01:25

i would say an ecru color not a bright



01:28

white a lot of times i think sometimes



01:29

people think that bright white is just



01:31

for summer so this little ecru color is



01:33

great for spring you can wear it all



01:35

summer long but i think it's like you



01:37

can just kind of step your toe into



01:39

those new



01:40

newer season colors so this echo color



01:43

is a great way to transition all right



01:46

i paired it with this nation top we've



01:48

talked to about nation tops and how much



01:49

i love them



01:51

the again why do i love them the shape



01:53

it always gives you a little bit of



01:55

shape it has these tiny tiny little like



01:57

forms in the shoulder it's not like a



01:59

big shoulder pad per se and i'm a pretty



02:02

broad shoulder person it just kind of



02:04

accentuates it's a little bit so it



02:05

keeps that shape of the little puff



02:07

sleeve on the shoulder um and then it



02:10

has just a little um binding here at the



02:12

wrist and you know me i always kind of



02:14

like to just pucker it up a little bit



02:15

to create a little more shape



02:17

and the fabrication it looks such like



02:20

such an elevated blouse but the fabric



02:22

is so soft it's almost like a t-shirt



02:25

fabric so it's very comfortable um but



02:28

again you look really elevated and then



02:30

the shoes let's talk about the shoes



02:31

again because you know i always love the



02:32

shoes these are um from dolce vita um



02:36

they are kind of i know we've talked to



02:38

about kind of almost like this coffee



02:40

um color or kind of like this mocha



02:43

color um it has some really fun i'm just



02:45

gonna take them off and show you a



02:46

little closer add some little gold um



02:48

grommets on the side which is just a fun



02:50

detail and then the



02:52

the heel is this nice thick wood block



02:55

heel



02:56

just with beautiful wood tones in it



02:58

which i just love and again with that



03:00

wider block



03:02

it keeps you stable and the pitch on



03:04

that isn't very high so you still get a



03:05

little bit of the height but your foot



03:07

isn't at such an elevation where you're



03:09

feeling a little bit tippy look number



03:11

two for the denim are you ready



03:13

shorts



03:14

don't be scared don't be scared you



03:16

might be going on vacation you might be



03:18

getting ready for spring



03:20

get out those cute sun tanned legs or



03:23

just that self tanner pan them up and



03:25

get those shorts on girls because



03:27

we can confidently wear these these are



03:29

my favorite shorts i get them



03:32

every year i get a new pair i'm going to



03:33

be honest with you the last three years



03:35

i just keep adding to my collection



03:36

because i love them so much sometimes



03:38

they change the color a bit sometimes



03:39

they change the length of it these are



03:41

eagle leaves these are the parker longs



03:45

now at my age i like a longer denim



03:49

jean shorts they just cover a little



03:51

more i feel a little more confident in



03:53

them they're also a high rise so as we



03:55

always say they keep everything in



03:57

distressing on the bottom distressing on



03:59

the top it kind of has that really fun



04:01

summer look but it doesn't feel like a



04:04

daisy duke right um so again love loving



04:07

these shorts i paired this one with just



04:09

this little basic michael stars um



04:12

v-neck tank comes in numerous colors and



04:15

keep them all in your closet because



04:16

they're great good grab-and-go as you



04:18

head out and they are great layering



04:19

pieces and i layered it underneath this



04:22

darling harriet isles



04:25

haley paisley wrap um why do i love this



04:29

wrap first of all look at the coloring



04:31

it's kind of almost like a really deep



04:34

green brown and then it has of course



04:36

some like little white paisleys in there



04:38

along with that little mocha color that



04:40

we talked about so be even cute with



04:42

those little fun shoes that i showed you



04:43

before and then just a titch of a really



04:46

dark teal in there so such warm fun



04:48

colors for spring we're heading into



04:50

summer



04:51

i also love this because



04:54

again sometimes you're traveling or



04:55

seasons change it's too warm for a jean



04:57

jacket so you need still something



04:59

that's going to give you a little bit of



05:01

coverage and honestly give some



05:02

dimension to your outfit so it's not



05:04

just a tank top and shorts this is easy



05:06

breezy look at this this is genius



05:09

there's a little bit of a gathering here



05:12

so a lot of times when those wraps once



05:14

you put your arms through it's a big



05:16

armhole and they kind of fall off of you



05:18

this one i love because it does have a



05:20

little bit of that banding and then i



05:22

just push it up a little bit and it



05:23

creates a little more of a shape for you



05:25

and it stays on which i love it stays on



05:28

okay ah this whole thing i paired with



05:30

these darling birkenstocks you can't go



05:33

wrong with these birkenstocks a



05:35

beautiful brown i would say like a



05:37

little caramel color with a little go



05:39

detailing here it's got a little bit of



05:41

that ecru color



05:43

that i shared with you in the jeans



05:45

right across the bottom and again so



05:47

comfortable great for vacation great for



05:49

walking all day long and just a great



05:52

go-to for summer



05:53

another thing i wanted to share with you



05:55

is if you are not quite ready to dip



05:57

your toe into the shorts yet those ammo



06:00

jeans that i showed you you can keep



06:01

this complete outfit on and just put the



06:04

ammo jeans that i shared with you before



06:06

all together you can do neutral on



06:09

neutral which gives you a really clean



06:10

look you know i like that one and done



06:12

and then um like i had shared before um



06:15

you can wear these jeans just with a



06:16

flat slide on um so that's a fun way to



06:19

just keep the outfit especially like for
