Trend Translation- Light Denim

A great pair of jeans is a closet staple year round, but changing up the style and wash is an easy way to keep your look fresh.  This summer, light denim is gaining steam as a viable trend.  The key is to keep the overall look very relaxed and easy.  

Pair light wash jeans with leather flip flops and a couple of tanks layered over one another.  Or go California classic with a basic white tee, gold hoop earrings and a great tan (faux or for-real, take your pick).  Here are a few of my favorite pairs, made just for us Bombshells:

Old Navy "The Diva" Surplus Jeans, available up to size 30 in long, short and average lengths. 

 

The Lane Bryant classic boot cut jean lightens up.  

Yes, Alloy's Truck Jeans 5-Pocket Flares are cute...but proceed with caution.  These are some pretty serious flares, best left to those Bombshells with broad shoulders or wider hips.
