The Fashion Lesson I Learned from Sarah Jessica Parker
It's easy to be enticed by the latest denim trends, because every season, there is something new. But, several years ago, I learned a lesson from Sarah Jessica Parker, and who better to learn a fashion lesson from. I was scrolling through an article with pictures of her and noticed that she had a formula for what she was wearing and it was that all of her pants were cropped! Although, I’m a whole inch taller than she is…5’4”! I figured the same formula could apply to me. I decided to only purchase cropped jeans and it has made my life so much easier. No taking my jeans to be hemmed or wondering what to do with the several inches that crumple at the bottom. The length hits just above my ankle and elongates my legs so that I appear (or at least feel) taller…plus, it’s a look I love. Sticking with what you love, when it comes to fashion and most everything else is good advice.
Whether I’m wearing a baggier fits or going with sleek and slim, completing my outfit with heels or choosing sneakers, my best jeans outfits these days, include cropped jeans. Take a look at why it works below…and remember, this look works for everyone…not just short girls!
This holiday look is a great way to show off your favorite shoes!
These jeans are cropped and I still rolled them up once because my boots come up higher on my ankle.
Remember, if your skinny jeans are too long, it’s really easy to simply cut them off!
This heel height plus the cropped jeans balances out a longer blazer.
I should probably cut these off slightly, but I didn’t mind the slouchier look because of the distressed sweater!
Works really well with sneakers.
Again, showing off fabulous shoes. Unfortunately, these are from last season and no longer available!
Great shoes from the Zara spring collection paired with dark wash cropped jeans and my favorite faux leather blouse from Target Who What Wear. I’m linking similar mules, including a perfect pair from Tory Burch!
I love a distressed hem and white boots elevate this fun look!
These pants from Rag and Bone aren’t jeans, but still fit the formula…and again, the shoes steal the show!
Do you have a fashion rule that you follow because you know it works? Let me know in the comments! Happy Weekend!
