Boyfriend Jeans Vs Mom Jeans, which jean styles do you like most? Let me differentiate them for you: Boyfriend jeans have wide hip area and have this baggy look up to the ankle and while Mom jeans have a high waist then starts tightening slightly at the thighs area creating a kind of slimming effect.
These days, looser fitting jeans are becoming popular, they are the perfect alternative to skinny jeans, that is the reason why I am making this post because these jeans type are not skinny both on the else fitting styles but in a different way. Boyfriend and mom jeans sport a fairly relaxed style that is entirely different from skinny jeans and choosing the right cut can help accentuate your best assets.
What Are Boyfriend Jeans?
Above are the different boyfriend jeans, they are becoming popular, they are good for the inverted triangle body shape, if your hips are smaller than your shoulders. You can pair then with fitted top like bodysuits, tank tops and the likes so you will not look big. You can pair it with ankle boots, sneakers… tapered legs style.
What Are Mom Jeans?
The mom jeans style is special to me, I own a bunch, because of my body shape which is Pera shape and also for the rectangular ones. I love that they are comfortable, they started gaining popularity lately as women started getting tired of the skinny jeans. This is a perfect alternative and still flattering with his waisted style compared to straight jeans. That is why I shared my Zara mom jeans post here.
But if you do not like the high waist style there is this girlfriend jeans which is slightly above the hips and have slim straight leg fit.
Which Is Better? For me, I think It all depends on the body type and also your personal style. These really great wardrobe staples. Even these style icons from Marilyn Monroe and Katie Holmes wearing these jeans styles.
Are you, like me, afraid of wearing oversized turtleneck sweaters? Is it because sometimes they can make you look like you don’t have a neck? Because that’s always my fear! I honestly had to re-shoot this as my first pictures were not the ones I was expecting them to be. But I do find a trick on how to style it and will make your neck look longer.
How To Wear An Oversized Turtleneck Sweater That Will Not Make You Look Bigger
Styling Turtleneck Sweater
Tie Your Hair
As you can see below, I tied my hair back. It’s already drawing attention to my head and face. Especially when you look at me as compared to my hair being down. Don’t be so afraid to show those features, because it’s a simple way to show the turtleneck also!
Tuck In The Front Of The Shirt
I’ve also only tucked in the front of my sweater. This is so it doesn’t make me look bigger and wider since this is an oversized sweater. I pulled the sleeves a little bit but it doesn’t need to be, It just added style to it.
Wear Black Pants
I also wore a pair of black pants to make my legs look longer. I am actually 5’6″ in height but my torso is actually longer than my legs and I also am a little heavy in my thighs. So when I wore black pants they created a silhouette of longer legs.
Wear Ankle Boots
Lastly, I wore heeled ankle boots to complete the whole ensemble. You could wear knee-high boots or heels with this kind of outfit, but I wanted to keep it simple and stylish! You can wear any color, but you can see that I chose something close to the color of my turtleneck sweater.
What To Wear With Turtleneck
You can’t go wrong with a pair of jeans and a sweater. If it’s cold outside, throw on a pair of boots for warmth. If it’s warm outside, try flip-flops or sandals. And if you’re feeling like something a little more dressy, try a skirt or dress under your turtleneck sweater. You can even add some heels if you want to make it extra fancy!
And don’t forget your accessories! A necklace or bracelet will help pull together any kind of turtleneck outfit and make it stand out from the crowd. You can see that I wore a simple black and gold watch, stud pearl earrings, and a pair of metal rim cat eye sunglasses. I was also carrying a bag similar to the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Speedy 3 bag.
You can still stay small with an oversized turtleneck!
Oversized turtlenecks are the perfect way to keep things casual and warm. They’re also so easy to style that you can wear them on their own or layer them under a jacket or cardigan.
I know you can relate to me if we have the same body type as I always think that turtlenecks only look good when worn by a very skinny person. It proved me wrong when I tried wearing it differently.
I love oversized turtlenecks for their versatility: they’re a great way to make any outfit look polished and put-together, but they also go with your favorite pair of jeans and a leather jacket. The best part is that there’s no wrong way to wear one!
I hope I was able to show you all that you don’t have to be afraid to wear this type of sweater.

If you live here in the DMV, and are looking for some places to go to for the weekend that is best for family and friends gathering. A day trip to Greenbrier State Park is a good way to do it.
Greenbrier State Park is a multi-use park that offers hiking, canoeing, boating and fishing, swimming, picnicking areas, and more. The park is located in the Appalachian mountains and features a 42-acre man-made freshwater lake. The visitor center is open year-round, offering information on the history of the area and its wildlife. It’s not too far from DC, probably about an hour or so. I live in southern Maryland and it was an hour and a half for us, which is not bad at all because the park is well-maintained and there are a lot of fun things that you can do there.
My advice would be to go early! When we were leaving by 2 pm, the line of cars trying to get in the park was sooooo long! Also, there’s an entrance fee of $3 per person who isn’t in a car seat but will go up this Memorial weekend to $5 per person. This is outdoor too, so there will be a lot of spaces for you to social distance!
Greenbrier State Park is a multi-use park on the shore of Lake Moomaw in Maryland. The park offers access to the Appalachian Trail, tons of nice picnic areas, and access to the beach as well as other outdoor activities. Here are some of the ways to enjoy yourself at Greenbrier State Park:
PICNIC
They’ve got tons of picnic tables here, just in case you’re thinking of celebrating something and want to do it somewhere different from your home that isn’t cramped and is outdoors. I don’t think you have to reserve them, but you can always call to make sure. We didn’t have a hard time finding any picnic areas under the shade either if you’re looking to stay cool.
BOATING, PADDLE BOARDING, PEDAL BOATING, AND KAYAKING
They have boat and pedal boat rentals, but for the kayaks and paddle boards, you should bring your own. The park’s man-made freshwater lake attracts a lot of swimmers, canoeists, and boaters. The lake is big enough for everyone to enjoy!
SWIMMING IN THE LAKE
Greenbrier State Park was a winner also since going to the other good beach was at least 3 HOURS AWAY! The freshwater lake and white sandy beach draw a lot of visitors who enjoy swimming and tanning. It was nice for my baby to play in the sand and enjoy the beach too! And there were other families there, which I loved seeing!
HIKING
The hiking trail was good according to hubby! He also went biking there too and said it was a good 5-mile hike distance. I thought Greenbrier State Park was a really great place to hike! The Appalachian Trail goes right through the park, and there are plenty of other trails to hike. Whether you’re looking for a short hike or one that will take you all day, Greenbrier State Park has something for everyone.
Greenbrier State Park Hours
The park is open 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. to sunset. With daylight savings time, that could be anytime in between 5 p.m. in some of the colder months, and 7 p.m. during the warmer half of the year. If you want to see their park schedule for events and hours, click HERE.
You can see the beautiful lake behind me, and the hiking trail too! It was a great way to spend a day here!
When you’re looking for a place to relax, Greenbrier State Park has you covered. It’s got a man-made lake with white sand beaches, a visitor center that’s open year-round, and Bartman Hill—a mountaintop overlooking the lake and even the Appalachian Trail!
So, if you’re thinking about visiting Greenbrier State Park this summer but looking for some activities that aren’t as intense as hiking or biking on the Appalachian Trail (but still offer an amazing view), consider bringing your swimsuit along.
Don’t let the name fool you—shirt dresses are every bit as chic as they sound. They are a great option if you want to make a statement with your look, but don’t want to go full-on fashion risk. They’re also perfect for days when it’s too hot to wear pants (or when you just feel like something different), so if it’s the middle of summer and you’re feeling a little underdressed, just slip on one of these and watch everyone’s heads turn.
Sleeveless shirt dresses are especially popular during the summer season because they show off your arms without making them too warm. The sleeveless option also gives off a more relaxed vibe than regular shirts, which makes them perfect for wearing at home or out with friends on weekends.
If there’s one thing that all shirt dresses have in common, it’s their versatility; they can be worn with flats or heels depending on what you’re doing or where you’re going. They also make great travel clothes because they can fit into any suitcase with ease!
How To Style Sleeveless Shirt Dresses
Shirt dresses are a great option for spring and summer. And sleeveless shirt dresses are the perfect way to make your wardrobe feel fresh and new. They’re great for a casual day out with friends or for dressing up for a night on the town.
They’re breezy, breathable, and easy to throw on—which is why they’re a staple for so many people. But if you want to take your shirt dress style game up a notch, then you might consider wearing a sleeveless shirt dress.
If you’re looking to feel like you’re wearing air all day long without sacrificing comfort or style, then this style is for you.
Types of Sleeveless Shirt Dresses
Not sure how to style a sleeveless shirt dress? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Sleeveless shirts are great for warmer months, but they can be tricky to wear in cooler weather—especially when you want to look polished and put-together, not like you just got back from the beach.
I’ve rounded up my favorite ways to wear sleeveless shirt dresses all with outfit ideas for each one. You’ll find everything from chambray shirt dresses and striped shirt dresses to other great options for wearing a shirt dress without sleeves.
So, if you’re not sure where to start with styling this look, I’ve got some tips below!
SLEEVELESS DENIM SHIRT DRESSES
Feeling a little bold? Try wearing a denim shirt dress with a white tank top underneath! The contrast between the two will make you stand out in a crowd, and the white shirt will keep things looking fresh. Add some wedge heels and a statement necklace for extra pizzazz.
This shirt dress is the perfect outfit for days when you want to look cute without putting in too much effort. Just throw it on over some sneakers or boots and you’re good to go. The dress has a relaxed fit and long sleeves that can be rolled up at the sleeves if desired, so it’s perfect for any season. It also comes in a variety of colors so you can match it with your favorite pair of sneakers or boots!
SLEEVELESS CHAMBRAY SHIRT DRESSES
Chambray is a cotton plain-weave fabric that looks like denim, but it’s not. And while you could totally wear a denim jacket with your chambray shirt dress, it’s also a great option for wearing on its own.
The best way to style a chambray shirt dress is by pairing it with an oversized denim jacket. This looks some edge without going overboard and also helps keep all of your layers from becoming too bulky when you’re sitting down or standing up (but if you’re feeling extra bold, try adding a pair of boots!).
SLEEVELESS STRIPED SHIRT DRESSES
Sleeveless striped shirt dresses are the perfect combination of laid-back and chic. Their sleeveless design makes them great for warmer weather, and the loose fit gives you plenty of room to move around in.
They’ve got a cool, relaxed vibe that says “I’m confident,” but it also says “I can totally be comfortable.” It’s the perfect balance between comfort and confidence—and it will make you look effortlessly chic while you’re at it.
To complete your look, pair your dress with some skinny jeans and cute sandals or sneakers. You’ll be ready to go anywhere!
I still couldn’t get over the beautiful architecture I witnessed in Quebec. As it makes a good backdrop to everything, especially this super comfy easy Sleeveless Belted Midi Shirt Dress I am wearing here. This is another transitional outfit I wanna share with all of you. so flowy to be worn in the summer as an easy dress and also a perfect look for Fall and when the weather gets chilly just add a jacket. I also added these strappy chunky heeled sandals that are so comfy while strolling around the city.
The texture of this dress is so soft to wear. Another look that can be pulled wearing this dress is by adding ankle boots or over-the-knee ones. This is a wrap dress that will showcase your footwear when you walk with it.
As you can see, there are many ways to wear this classic piece. You can take it up a notch with a pair of heels or a statement necklace, or dress it down with some sneakers and a denim jacket. We love how versatile this outfit is—you can wear it in the summer and then transition it into fall. What’s not to love?
Thank you for stopping by and for all your comments.
Split hem pants are on-trend and here are the 13 ways to style them as workwear to wear in different ways throughout the week for work.
13 ways to Style Split Hem Work Pants
SHOP THE POST:
White Top With Puff Sleeves
I am really loving the puff sleeve top and the black and white combo is just a classic look. It never goes out of style and looks very professional. The Chanel inspired handbag is the cherry on top and love the quality and price of it too.
Such a boss babe material outfit for the win. The Blazer made this look very professional and the pointed-toe pumps are the cherry on top here. This outfit looks very powerful, it just gives personality to anybody who will wear this, the look that means you mean business!
The top is one of my best-selling top in my amazon store! This whole outfit is easy peasy to put together and would recommend if you are always on the move at work. This is a comfy style for the one and a good outfit for teachers too. You can also add a blazer to make it look more professional if it is stricter at your workplace.
The best part of these pants is the price point, it is under $30. Also, it is true to size, high waist, and has a stretchy material. I actually wore outfit number 1 to church and just added a white faux fur coat as it is below freezing here today. I hope y’all like how I styled those pants 3 easy ways. What I have learned from my experience is that you can not have too many pairs of split hem pants.
These are the featured pants I wore in first three outfits above. As you already know, they are my absolute favorite and they are so flattering. They are soft, high waisted, and have an elastic waistband, making them even more comfortable. These split-hem pants come in black and rust brown.
If you like to make a statement with your fashion at work, these are the pants for you. They come in four colors, and they have a very classy, sophisticated and cute crop. Pair with a collared shirt or blouse and a matching handbag. With these pants, you will feel powerful as you take on your workday.
For a more flowy look, I really like these pleated front split pants. Other than the wide-leg style, I really like the accentuated waist, which has the option to add a belt. To make sure your outfit is balanced from top to bottom, pair with a tight-fitting top or bodysuit.
What Shoes To Wear With Split Hem Pants
No matter the cut of the split-hem pants – flare, skinny, or straight leg pants, split hem jeans or even flared leggings – you can find the perfect shoes. Split-hem pants are very versatile so you can usually wear whatever shoes you want. Here’s a list of shoes you can wear with split-hem pants:
Simple flats
Ballet flats
Kitten heels
Pumps
Stilettos
Peep-toe wedges
Block heels
Loafers
Short booties
Sneakers
The only shoes I would not recommend wearing with split-hem pants are tall boots. Tall boots will make your pants look awkward and will not allow you to show off the split-hem style. This includes combat boots because they are just too tall. If you are going to wear boots, make sure they are short like in the examples I pictured above.
Are you looking for quality special occasion dresses for proms, graduation, date night and wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses? We all know how difficult it is to find a shop that has beautiful pieces that fit, are cost-effective, and has great customer service. Thankfully, I was contacted by Ever-Pretty brand to review their products. And here is what I can say about it.
Ever-Pretty Brand Review
Ever Pretty Dresses
Ever Pretty Wedding Dresses
Double V-neck Lace Bodice Sleeveless Simple Wedding Dress (Sold out but similar HERE)
This Wedding gown is under $100, I was impressed by how well made it is. Currently, this style is sold out, but you can find similar styles here. I was expecting it to be cheaply made because of the price but the material is good quality. It needed to be steamed because it came from a tight packaging. But it was soft and it was not itchy to the skin as you can see here on a closer look. It is also true to size and I am wearing my usual size 6 or medium.
I am loving the details on the chest area, it is so beautiful with the V-neck cut as I am small chested and it enhanced that area a bit. I also used this faux peonies to add to this look as my bouquet flower and it actually looks real. Overall, I will give this dress 4/5 rating! So if you are a bride on a budget this brand is what you are looking for.
This one is really similar to the dress I featured above but with a little more sleeves and lace. I love the details in the bodice and at the tip of the sleeves, and the flare is really beautiful. If you like the dress I featured above, I think you will like this one with the sweetheart neck and cap sleeves as well.
While I am a big fan of the sleeveless wedding dresses and gowns, Ever Pretty also has a large selection long-sleeve lace options as well. This one in particularis very beautiful. And again, it can be purchased for less than $100, an absolute steal.
Every Pretty Bridesmaid Dresses
The next outfit is a Bridesmaid dress….
I will be comparing this to the bridesmaid dress I wore last time for my cousin’s wedding. That one was $250, and it was custom made to justify the price but in terms of the material. They are pretty much the same and the one I’m wearing here is only $46, and it is also true to size.
The dress I featured above is unfortunately currently sold out. So, if you like the look of that one, try this short sleeve maxiinstead. The color, style, and necklines are really similar and I imagine the fit is really similar as well. For a darker take on the same style, see this style in grey.
In need of a bridesmaid dress more fit for the Fall? Try this one! It comes in dark blue, black, navy, burgundy, and dark green. And in my opinion, all the colors look great for the Fall and Winter season. Plus, the sleeves and full length are perfect for an added layer of warmth.
Ever Pretty Evening Dresses
Lastly will be this evening dress (also currently sold out,similar here) and as you can see here in the video that this is another gem, also true to size, it is not itchy to the skin and loving the tulle design. This dress is perfect for any evening occasion you will have to attend and this dress is under $40.
Again, the evening dress I featured above is also sold out now. But, this one is really similar and maybe even more adorable. Although I love the sleeves on the dress featured above, I also really like cuff sleeves like ones on this cocktail dress too. This dress is a steal at only $50, and is the perfect LBD for date night.
Where Is Ever Pretty Located
So if you are having those special occasion give this brand a try I can swear by it. The only thing I have to say, it takes about a week or 2 for shipping because it came from China. While Ever Pretty does have a headquarters, purchasing is all online. So unfortunately, there are no store-fronts to shop this brand.
Is Ever Pretty Legit
Now that I have experienced Ever-Pretty for myself, I can say that I am a now a fan of this brand. Ever-Pretty is a brand that I will be sure to keep in mind when I am in need of a dress for a special occasion. Especially for weddings, bridal or baby showers, birthdays, date night dinners, and more.
My favorite thing about Ever-Pretty is that the price is not reflective of the actual quality. In my opinion, the quality of Ever-Pretty dresses far exceeds their actual cost, and I love that. If you want to purchase a quality dress for a good deal, try Ever-Pretty. I consider their dresses to be timeless additions to my wardrobe that I will be able to wear for years.
I also like how Ever Pretty has promotions where they offer free shipping and other discounts, and how they continue to keep up with global fashion trends. Making dresses for today. Just remember what I said about the shipping time, and be sure to order plenty of time in advance if you are planning for a special occasion like a wedding.
Ever Pretty Return Policy

“Return or exchange shipping fee is the responsibility of the customer; delivery charges are also nonrefundable.”
