I think we can all appreciate a versatile item that is well-made and under $50. This pretty little thing is one of them and can go dressy or casual for the party busy season. Maybe you are meeting your girl gang for Happy Hour then continuing on to a work party. Simply swap a jean jacket for a faux fur capelet, a cross-body bag for a glamorous purse and VOILA! You’re ready for whatever life throws at you.

Somehow I missed the memo that this burgundy jumpsuit was “petite” when I ordered it. What a pleasant surprise when I tried it on only to discover that the pant legs were not miles long. It’s like it was made just for me…oh right, it was! Reason 999 I love shopping at Asos. They are size-inclusive and offer tall, curvy, petite, and maternity styles.

This insta-worthy event is packed with goodness. From the beautiful decor, sweets and treats, giveaways, to the VIP gift bags, everything is perfectly curated. All aesthetics aside, the company was my favorite aspect of the day. It is very exhilarating surrounding yourself with like-minded and driven #girlbosses! Speaking of, I gotta hand it to the founders for finding a panel so inclusive to women of all walks of life. “Together we bloom.”

Now about the shopping…15 bloggers (including myself) set up shop and played store for the day. After working in retail for almost a decade, it’s fun to get my “fix” once in a while. Femme Fair is a great place for it! It was very flattering seeing so many people genuinelly excited about my clothes. In fact, it gave me reassurance that my unique style is appreciated and that I’ve found my niche. A special thanks to my Instagram Husband for helping me prep and breakdown my booth!

Today we showcase cropped flare jeans from Charlotte Russe. They are just as functional as they are cute. Featuring a mid-rise waist and stretch fabric design, these cropped jeans are suitable for breakfast or happy hour. I know I am not the only woman who sometimes “fluffs up” her jeans in the dryer mid-wear. Well, I am happy to report that they did not stretch out or bag at the knees after breakfast or the bar. I am not sure that I can say more about a pair of cropped jeans that are under $50 other than, you should buy them!

So how do you style cropped jeans, you may ask? The answer is rather simple: the same way you dress a full length pair! With the embroidery craze in full affect, consider topping your fall ensemble with an embellished item like this. This moto style jacket effortlessly adds a feminine touch to your edgy ensemble. I took it one step further by incorporating a purple peplum top and gold-trim booties. How do you style your cropped denim? I would love to hear your ideas!
