I’m a girl who loves the sunshine and I’d MUCH rather rock a sundress than a parka. But (north) East Coast living unfortunately doesn’t allow for summer dresses all year long so I am forced to find cozy but lightweight outerwear options. I prefer to drape myself in a thick blanket scarf or poncho when the weather starts to cool. It’s like an anti-coat. It keeps you warm without you having to really bundle up and look like you’re about to embark on an expedition to the North Pole.

I recently wore this chic poncho are my favorite pair of denim: these High-Waist Skinny Jeans. For those of us with, ahem, a little more junk in the trunk, these are the perfect fit. There’s no gapping at the waist so you won’t be accidentally revealing anything, which happens way too often with most jeans. Plus, they cling to every single curve without being too tight. They’re my favorite “grab/throw on and go” pair of jeans. I could wear these EVERY SINGLE DAY!
