The Occasion

What is the occasion you are dressing for? Are you attending a day or nighttime event? Across the board, light denim is more casual than dark. On the other hand, distressed denim is playful while plain is thought of as polished and clean. The same goes for the hemline…

The Length

Another attribute to closely consider is the length. Are you dressing to kill, or for a
day at the fair? Simply put, length equals drama. Strut your stuff in a mini during brunch with the ladies. Conversely, stun at New York Fashion Week in a maxi length jean skirt!

The Takeaway

Although a jean skirt is a great alternative to your favorite jean pants, the length and occasion should sway your choice. For example, the look on display is what I refer to as feminine edgy. This style of dress is suitable during the day with flats and night with heels. Check back to see how I style this skirt for a day of festin’.

When I was a student at LSU, I managed the one and only Rode’o Boutique. This Baton Rouge hotspot is magazine material and deserves a spot on Rodeo Drive. Whether you’re a young professional, student, or new mom, it’s nearly impossible to leave the store without a bag full of goodies. When prepping for my trip, I had a feeling Rode’o would have something suitable for the tropics. After all, the Louisiana heat and humidity is “impressive.” Sure enough, the Viviana Romper was the perfect addition to my Puerto Vallarta attire.

Cut out garments are great in tropical climates. They have the same affect as cracking a window in a steamy room! Hopefully the photos do this thing justice The print reminds me of a beautiful acrylic painting. I am not sure what I like more, the vibrant hues or the playful fit! Regardless, I wore this little number to a rooftop dinner at Hacienda San Angel. There we celebrated my parent’s 45th Wedding Anniversary. For this happy occasion, I dressed it with rose gold sandals and matching tassel earrings. But what’s really special about this romper is that it can go from beach to dinner. For a daytime look, I’d swap the heels for flip-flops and throw my hair in a bun. There’s no point in fighting the humidity…clearly!
