    Elevated Classics: The Oxford Shirt and Wide Leg Jeans

    May 2, 2017fashion

    To me, there is nothing that screams classic more than a crisp oxford shirt and some blue jeans. You saw how I did it here not that long ago, but I feel like this look commands a completely different vibe. The jeans take me back to the 90s with their wider open legs and higher rise. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure they were going to work because they have Z E R O stretch in them, but the higher rise gives my derriere full coverage and that is everything!

    If you don’t have a crisp white oxford shirt in your closet, you need to get one, and more than one! I have about three and they are all a little bit different. I have never spent more than $30 on one and won’t. And you shouldn’t either! The one I’m wearing is from Old Navy and it makes me very happy. It’s lightweight and breathable, which is a must with summer right around the corner.

    The blue heels were a fun addition to this look. Any color would do, though. If you’re going to wear a jean with such a wide leg like this, you want to either wear a heel or a wedge for a little bit of lift. It’s easy to look frumpy in pants like this, and ain’t nobody got time for that!

    GET THE LOOK

    Shirt: Old Navy

    Jeans: Gap (similar)

    Shoes: French Connection

    Purse: Forever 21

    Necklace: Anthropologie

    Lipstick Shade: Ruby Woo by MAC

    TLG Tip: ALWAYS check the sale racks for one. My latest find was at the Banana Republic Factory Store and with an extra 40% off, it cost me $7!

    Happy weekend, friends! Wanna know what sandals I’ll be wearing all spring? These right here 👆🏾. They are so comfortable and I got a couple of compliments at the crosswalk! Every person was pleasantly surprised when I told them they were @crocs in collaboration with @verabradley because of the style, but if you didn’t know, there’s a wide variety of sandals from Crocs and these just scream spring. The floral botanical print is quintessential Vera and I’m obsessed. I know I’m rocking the denim today, but I’ll be steppin around town in them and at the pool, with stripes and solids — and with dresses and swimsuits, too. The spring style possibilities are endless. Tell me what you would wear yours with! #VeraBradleyXCrocs

THIS IS OUR YEAR, and I can’t wait to get started! #LevelUpWithKachet #LevelUpShowUp #ThisIsYourYear
    Happy first full week of April, y’all. 😁 Maki Happy first full week of April, y’all. 😁 Making a point to celebrate + take a pause from the scroll is part of my biz processes this year and I didn’t even realize a week passed. I never used to stop, which means that I was going forth with blinders on + getting caught up in comparison, for better and for worse. I have to be honest, even with the absence on Instagram, the business activity didn’t stop!  In fact, here’s what went down in the past five days: 

▪️The Level Up + Show Up Challenge went down via email + Facebook. See ya, IG!
▪️I booked two Strategy Sessions for April.
▪️I put the finishing touches on the new Level Up With Kachet...DOORS OPENING THIS WEEK. Y’all ready?!
▪️My team + I turned a gifted offer from a brand into a paid one with ONE email. My #CoachKach advice: Stop saying yes (or no) off the bat. Open up the conversation to see what can happen.
▪️I beat my Q1 income goal by 25%, which made me adjust my quarterly goals for the rest of the year.

Sometimes you just need a win to get fired up and re-focused.

Sometimes you need to put that scary number out there to see if you can make it happen. 

Knowing that I did when half of the time I was weary, lost + fighting to show up in all areas, it affirms that I am made to do this. It shows me that there is a bigger plan for me, so long as I show up. 

Perfection is not required. Effort is.

That’s the energy I’m taking into April and the rest of the year. I’m going to reach higher. I’m probably going to squirm, sweat and scream while doing so, but I’m here for all the smoke that comes with it.

What are you going to reach higher for? And how can I help? Let’s 👏🏾Get 👏🏾It!

    You work hard, lady — schedule a breather this w You work hard, lady — schedule a breather this week and treat yo’self! It doesn’t have to be for the whole day. Heck, five minutes will do the trick. 

I hadn’t taken myself out for a coffee date in a while so I made it happen. But for you, it could be:

▪️A coffee without your phone in hand
▪️A walk around the block
▪️A bubble bath
▪️A call with a loved one. 

This isn’t the first time I’ve said this, and it won’t be the last. Count on that! 😁

Curious about my look? Well, my love for polka dots is coming back! I’m rockin more classics from @appleseeds, including the Dennisport Twill Chinos with this shirt. I plan to wear it with shorts + skirts this spring, too. That’s why I love classic pieces so much. You can remix them in whatever way you feel like depending on the mood.

A classic — and taking a moment to celebrate you — will never go out of style. Click the link in my profile to check out all of my Appleseed’s picks this season, + comment below 👇🏾and tell me what you’re going to do for yourself this week!
