The Last #jeansdujour... Which look with plus size jeans did you like the best?

Hey Guys!

This is the very last #jeansdujour post! It went by so quickly. I have really loved giving you all the inside scoop on Addition Elle's collection of jeans for curvy women. I tried a bit of everything; skinny jeans, bootcut, wild colours, even snake print! What was your favourite plus size denim look from the campaign?

This was my favourite look. I really love the shade of blue in these jeans! Out of all the jeans I tried from Addition Elle, my personal faves were  the Sixty-Nine Denim jeans, the MXM skinny jeans, and the Second Denim Yoga Jeans. You should definitely go try these on!

Many thanks to Addition Elle! It was so fun to work on this with them, and I am really excited about their new designer denim and the coming holiday styles! It seems like a whole new Addition Elle, and I'm really pumped about it! Can't wait to see what's next. =D

#jeansdujour - A Girls' Night Out wearing Addition Elle Skinny Jeans!

Hey Guys!

It's #jeansdujour time again, and this time I am showing you what I wore for a night out on the town with my girls! I think this is one of my favourite #jeansdujour outfits so far! When I go out for a fun night out, I usually like to wear something a bit sexy, showing just enough but not too much! Skinny jeans are perfect for this. I just pair them with a fitted top (this one's nice cause it has a bit of a shine factor as well - bling, if you will...). I think these are also my favourite plus size fashion jeans that I've tried from Addition Elle this season (if not, then they're definitely in the top three!). They actually fit like a skinny jean and are fitted all the way from the thigh to the ankle, but they're really comfortable! I got a lot of compliments on this outfit while I was out, so that made me feel even more awesome than I already did after getting ready. What do you think?

#jeansdujour - Look At What I Can Do in Second Denim Yoga Skinny Jeans from Addition Elle!

Hey Everyone!

So it's #jeansdujour day, and this week I thought I would surprise you a bit! It's a little-known fact that I was a ballet dancer for many years. I stopped a couple of years ago because I didn't have enough time for it when I started grad school, but dance was definitely my first love growing up and something I still hope to go back to at some point once things are less busy! Anyway, because of my training, I'm still quite flexible. I just wanted to show you that this pair of plus size skinny jeans from Second Jeans available at Addition Elle can certainly keep up! There's definitely a reason why they're called Yoga Jeans. They are actually comfortable and non-restrictive enough to do yoga (or even ballet) in. They feel like yoga pants but look just like jeans. I could honestly wear these every day. They're so comfortable and cute.

I totally love these jeans and would even wear them to yoga or to dance class. Have any of you guys tried the Yoga Jeans? Aren't they awesome?!

#jeansdujour: What to Wear on Casual Friday, with Curvy Jeans from Addition Elle

Hey Guys!

It's #jeansdujour time again, and this week, I thought I'd write a little bit about what to wear on casual Friday at the office. Jeans are a total staple for casual Friday, and Addition Elle is the destination for plus size jeans this season! The ones I am wearing in this outfit are Pashu by Parasuco skinny jeans, and I totally adore the pockets on the back. They are a really interesting shape, and I made sure to get a shot of them in there so you can see for yourself. Admittedly, this outfit is a little "safe", but that's sometimes good for the workplace! I like to pair a cute top underneath a blazer so that the outfit can work for after-work drinks or a date. :D

#jeansdujour - Pumpkin Picking in Addition Elle's Fabulous MXM Skinny Jeans

Hey Guys!

So every year, Peter and I have a tradition that we never miss out on - we go to a pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkin! October is a special month for Peter and I because it's our anniversary. Fourteen years this year! Pumpkin Picking is just one of the small ways we like to celebrate together. Of course I wore my #jeansdujour, Addition Elle's MXM skinny jeans! I really like the cut of these jeans. I find that while a lot of plus size jeans say that they're "skinny", they rarely have the really fitted cut of skinny jeans for those under a size 14. But these are TRUE skinnies. They are fitted all the way down, from thigh to ankle, and I love the zipper detail at the ankle. Totally cute and comfy! What do you think???

#Jeansdujour - Colour Blocking for Fall with Addition Elle's Denim Jeans

It's #jeansdujour time, and I thought I would share with you some of my tips for successfully colour blocking this Fall using coloured jeans. Addition Elle has all sorts of colours of jeans for curvy women in stock right now, so it's a great time to take a second look at this trend of colour blocking and try it out for yourself!

What is colour blocking? Well, really the term itself is quite self-explanatory - you wear clothing that creates blocks of colour on your body. Usually you'll want to avoid wearing patterns/prints while colour blocking, as it tends to take away from the sophisticated simplicity of the look, which is really the essence of what makes colour blocking so great.

In my first colour blocking outfit below, I've created a bold look using a primary colour (royal blue), black, and white. These Love and Legend Skinny Leg Jeans in Royal Blue are the perfect bottom to make a statement and to colour block with. I paired the bold blue with a more subtle black and white so not to overdo it with colour. The sophisticated cut of the blazer (and especially the large notches on the lapel and peplum waist) and the geometric shapes used in the jewellery give the look a slightly edgy, fashion-forward vibe.

If bright primaries are not for you, I totally get it. You can still accomplish colour blocking using a more muted, subdued palate. In the look below, I combine rose, moss, aubergine, tan, and gold to create a more earthy, bohemian interpretation of colour blocking. The amazing colour of the Love and Legend Coated Skinny Jean in Black Cherry is absolutely perfect for Autumn!

So, what about you? Have you tried colour blocking before? Which look do you prefer, the bolder, edgier look, or the soft and romantic bohemian?
