Anatomy of an Outfit: The Boyfriend Jean

I've been wearing Jeremy's jeans for a while now - my boyfriend jeans are actually my boyfriend's jeans. I've tried on a few pairs of other "boyfriend" jeans made for ladies - but I always come back to the real deal. I like to girly them up with dainty gold jewelry and heels but still honor the boyness of them with an athletic racer back tank.

Jeans: Gap 1969 button-fly boot cut (mens)
Tank: American Apparel tri-blend racerback
Belt: Braided gold belt ($1 estate sale find)
Shoes: Tortoise shell mary-janes with leather soles ($1 garage sale find)
Jewelry: Heirloom diamond ring on a necklace; costume gold chain with pearls

perfection. you are a rockstar! :)

I love the photo in front of the chalkboard wall.

I heart those shoes!

Dayum, girl. your hair is HUUGE there! Love it, and those shoes, forever.

Adorable! (and AGAIN, your hair steals the show. It is a wonderful accessory in and of itself.)

Also, on a personal note: What does J think of your ass in those jeans? My fiance Jim doesn't like the way "boyfriend jeans" hang loosely back there in the booty area. Either: I don't have enough junk in the trunk. Or: my man just likes my jeans skin-tight. Any thoughts?

Liz - it's turning into a lion's mane. Rawr.

Nicole - Thanks! Ha. These jeans are a little baggy in the booty but I think it's kind of cute that way. I'd say Jeremy is content with the style - I'm sure he can visualize what's going on underneath. I think he thinks it's hot when I wear something with confidence and just own it - even if the style is somewhat questionable.

Jeremy - do you want to take this one? What do you think about my baggy booty?

hehe this is cute. I never even thought of trying on my bf's jeans... altho i do own some "boyfriend jeans" strange... except he is an only child so he wont even share his soda with me, much less his jeans!!

You hair is a force, love it!

I totally love this! I would love to be able to fit into David's jeans, but he's a stick and he gave me these child-bearing hips. Meh.

Hmm... I've been losing tons o' that baby weight lately.. I wonder if I could shimmy into some of my partner's pants *goes off to check*

^_^

I mean...your hair is ahh-mazing. Breathtaking really!! You go with your bad self!

i must ask...what kind of hair product do you use? your hair probably has more volume then mine as it's shorter but we seem to have the same type of hair so i'm curious to see what you use!

Oops! And read through the comments too - I think I mention which products I use specifically. One I might not mention is Big Sexy Hair hairspray. The bigger the hair the closer to God. Or Texas.
