The Perfect Jean & The Perfect fit

June 15, 2020 By Ashley

When it comes to everyday style, it’s ALL about finding the perfect jean & the perfect fit.  Finding the perfect jean, is like sprinkling a little magic into your everyday style, because even when nothing else seems to fit, and you’ve already changed 5 times, your go-to jean never lets you down. … I mean, am I right or am I right, ladies? Of course, finding your perfect jean is a lot harder than it seems! In a sea of denim choices who’s to say if the skinny jeans, bootcut jeans, new vintage straight style, cropped, bootcut or trouser will even work for you?! It’s all based on a little styling science: your body type + the right style for your figure, literally helps you find THE PERFECT JEAN & THE PERFECT FIT.

I’ve been a denim lover for years, and jeans are STILL my go-to preferred style item! So I’m sharing with you the new jeans I’m absolutely in love with from a North Carolina based, black-owned, woman-owned business– Infinity boutique NC ! Infinity Boutique NC is owned by Sonia & caters to plus-sized women from size 10 to even size 6X! Infinity Boutique clearly knows that a beautiful woman comes in all shapes and sizes, and I love and appreciate businesses who cater to the everyday woman! Infinity Boutique and I have that in Common, which is one of the reasons I was excited to work with her & her brand.

The everyday woman’s style with the right jeans, can add a golden thread into her wardrobe, and that’s exactly what these jeans from infinity Boutique did. I have quite a few skinny jeans, and quite a few boyfriend jeans, but never a pair that combines the sexiness ( of skinny jeans) and the comfortability (of boyfriends jeans) ALL in one. To add icing to the cake, these jeans are high waisted and have the absolute perfect amount of stretch! Both of which, are key to finding the right jean– checking the rise and checking the stretch. You’ll know if the jeans have stretch, usually by touch but I also look for denim that has the magic ingredients of “lycra, tercel, or spandex,” all of which equate to incredibly soft and incredibly figure flattering denim that retains its shape. These jeans by Infinity boutique have all the key ingredients for the perfect jean and the perfect fit. I’ve literally been reaching for these jeans for pretty much everything. Date night, running errands, out and about and I’ve paired them with sneakers, stilettos, my new favorite wedges (pictured). The great thing about Infinity Boutique is that they have a ton of denim styles, but also a lot of other items like dresses, tees, and all the extra things you’d need for a well styled and well-rounded wardrobe.

When you get past the “ingredients” of the denim, you now want check out the style/fit of the jeans, and this is where dressing for your body type comes into play. While women come in all shapes and sizes, it makes finding some items a lot easier when it’s based on body type. The five body types we’ll discuss our Hourglass, Apple, Pear, Rectangle, and Oval. If you’re not sure which body type you are then, The Hourglass figure is defined  by a full bust, narrow waist, curvy figure, and proportionately balanced shoulders and hips– ladies who are an hourglass figure should try best in skinny jeans, bootcut jeans or mainly thing that accentuate their curves instead of hiding them. Apple figure is defined by average to large bust, broad shoulders, fullness in the midsection and narrower hips– ladies who are an apple figure should try bootcut jeans, jeans that create a lengthening effect and help define their waist. A pear shaped figure is defined by narrow shoulders, a smaller bust, and fuller bottom and hips and should try wide leg jeans/ trousers, and even a great high waisted jean, or cropped high waisted jean. Rectangle body type is defined by hips, waist, and shoulders being the same width. These ladies should try cropped jeans and straight leg styles, and even flared styles that create the illusion of curves if they so wish to. The oval body type is typically defined as plus sized, and just a lot thicker all the way around :)– but I’ve found that no matter your size– your body type is based on your proportions.This is such a brief overview, but if you’d like for me to talk more about dressing for your body type, then comment below or email me. One thing to remember is that no matter your body type, you are beautiful and there are plenty of choses & ways for you to find your own personal style. Even better, let me help you find your own #personalstyle via a virtual consultation. Just fill out the contact form on my site, and let’s get started!

✨It’s the Joy for me... in this photo! And I’m holding onto it & focusing on the good things that are already happening for me personally & professionally  in just the first few days of 2021...
———
✨We could keep focusing on how last year was unexpected & disheartening in ways OR we could choose to move forward in strength with joy— I choose the later.
✨I’m not saying forget last year, I’m just saying make the conscience decision to allow yourself to accept & look forward to the goodness of this year, receive the hope and not doubt, believe that this year will be everything you need it to be, but it starts with hope. 
✨ I hope that you allow yourself to move forward, to dream, to pursue your purpose, and to get every last drop of sweetness 2021 has to offer . 
✨It’s no longer about what didn’t happen in 2020, it’s about all the things that will happen in 2021. Sending you love & light on this Sunday, loves! •XoXo, Ashley Marie 💋•

⚜️ I promise my closet isn’t full of all bla ⚜️ I promise my closet isn’t full of all black outfits, but why reinvent the wheel — when a #classic does the job every time ?😉
———
⚜️ It’s no secret that all black is one of the most stylish & effortless pairings in the Fashion bible, but sometimes all black can be boring if you don’t mix it up a little...✨ 
——
⚜️ Here are 3️⃣ ways for make your All black ensemble a little more interesting...⬇️⬇️⬇️
1️⃣ Add texture ✨— think pairing a lace top w/ leather pants, a suede skirt + booties w/ a modal bodysuit , or a pair of black jeans w/ a classic or ruffled sweatshirt or button up!💁🏽‍♀️
——
2️⃣ Add Baubles ✨— Think adding a brooch, hoops, a necklace or bracelet stack.  The right jewelry can make or break an outfit. And when pairing jewelry w/ an all black outfit — the jewels stand out & the look is instantly elevated.💎 
——
3️⃣ Add Stylish/Modern footwear✨—Think a leather bootie, a leopard print Stiletto, colorful kicks, or a logo flat. Adding color, texture, a classic touch or flair w/ your shoe choice is easy with an all black outfit! 
➡️My fav footwear options are a bow or leopard print pump or kicks! I’ve tagged all the details of this look, just screenshot this pic to get shoppable product details with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app! And... my top is #onsale for under $30 🚨 @liketoknow.it

⚜️Following these 3️⃣ tips will help elevate your look & personal style! I’ll be sharing more style tips & tricks this month.

Ooo baby, 2021 — so glad to see you!😉 We made Ooo baby, 2021 — so glad to see you!😉 We made it y’all, first rule of 2021, don’t talk about 2020! 😂 #jk

✨On a real note, I’m stepping into 2021 with so much zeal + fervor + hustle. I’m ready ro hit the ground running & I’m so thrilled  what 2021 means for the Prissy with Pearls brand, and the creatives I’ll be working with!
——
✨One thing I’ve learned is that This year, will be whatever we make it ... and it will definitely be a year of exponential growth. 🥂
——
✨First day in and 2021 is already looking promising y’all! ✨My day started with prayer, affirmations, a little bit of devotional, a FaceTime with family & #HNY call! ✨This afternoon I’m working on a style mood board & content planning for the quarter! There are so many good things planned this year & I can’t wait to share them with you!✨ #2021BeGoodToUs 
———
✨How are you stepping into the first day of the New Year ? All I know is 2021 better be Good to us! // HAPPY NEW YEAR Y’ALL!🎆 •XoXo, Ashley Marie 💋•
2021 // I see you & I’m ready !✨ 2020// Thank 2021 // I see you & I’m ready !✨
2020// Thank you for love, the lessons, the growth— I’ve been stretched and elevated in ways I did not expect. ✨

✨Every year, like most of  us, the end of the year is about reflection & every year I list the things that I’ve learned, ways I’ve grown, impact I’ve had, & make edits to my vision for the following year. This year though is different, & a little harder to find the silver lining...
———
✨But it was a question from a friend that really made me think— so I’ll share it with you b/c it was simple but profound ⬇️
✨➡️2020 has been a crazy year. What are your biggest takeaways, highlights and disappointments?“ 
✨While I didn’t  have an answer right then, today I do.  I listed my disappointments, highlights, & takeaways today in my notes for myself. But I found in listing them all that the takeaways/highlights, joys & unexpected blessings — outweighed any disappointments.🙏🏾
———
Here are 5️⃣of my takeaways from 2020 :
1️⃣ Never underestimate your resiliency. We can and have recovered from loss, disappointment, & challenges that may have seemed to be insurmountable collectively & individually this year — but we made it through and we are STILL standing.✨
———
2️⃣ While we may strive to be Perfect, we will never be & neither will life be— but it will be good and sometimes it will be great — and sometimes finding the joy in it just being good enough— is okay too! // especially after this year.✨
———
3️⃣ Giving love, sowing understanding, peace and patience is an art, and the people who take the time to sow into your life are a blessing; both should be valued. ✨
———
4️⃣Spending time w/  the people we love whether via FaceTime, Zoom, in person or on a phone call  is crucial. We need interaction & we need the right people on our lives. We survived this year not of our own strength, but because of our family, our friends, the people that love us and God.✨
———
5️⃣ The Power of having Peace in your mind & life is the real bag.  So I do more now than ever before to protect my peace & to bring that energy wherever I go.✨

⚜️What are some of your takeaways from 2020?  I’d love to hear! •XoXo, Ashley Marie 💋•
