There is nothing more casual than t-shirt and jeans. Ok, sweatpants. Those are more casual… anything more casual than that, and we’re talking pajamas. Over the years I’ve become a denim lover, and with all the beautiful dresses at the Luisa Via Roma store, I was actually quite interested in the Balmain Jeans. I mean come on, $1000 jeans. They’re Balmain so they must be amazing? Well, that and this Alexander McQueen jacket that caught my eye. My favorite color to wear often ends up being olive green and this jacket looked like a cross between a blazer, motorcycle jacket and military fatigues. What a mix! To be honest though I would have to say that the Balmain jeans were great with their distressing and the way it was constructed to wear over time, there was support in the stitching and the denim was very soft. I wasn’t so impressed with the fit, expecting for $1000 it would make me look like a supermodel, and well the fit didn’t compare to some of the more mainstream denim brands, I did like the distressing and I don’t normally like distressing.
The Alexander McQueen jacket however did fit amazing, and it’s structure made me feel confident, edgy yet sophisticated. It was the perfect jacket, and paired with the scull clutch I felt casual yet very much dressed up. So much for t-shirts and jeans!

Wow, Jennine, looking amazing, your hair is stunning, and the way your entire look has been styled, wowzers. Adore that jacket, it’s perfection in the shape or sexy outwear, and those pumps… This may be my favourite outfit post… ever. xxxx
That jacket is to die for, but that’s no surprise, it’s McQueen. Those jeans are exorbitantly priced and not really anything special, but that’s no surprise, they’re Balmain. And your pumps give me palpitations.
You look fantastic!
Love the jacket, the green color really stands out but it stays classy
Those Casadei shoes are my favourite piece!
I’d be disappointed if $1000 jeans didn’t fit right too, they should be like a second skin right?!
p.s. look at your smize in the first shot!
Love this, but I have a feeling the background is contributing as well:) Also, I need those shoes.
OMG, i agree definitely your best post yet, I die for that jacket, and ya $1,000 jeans for Balmain is nothing some of their jackets run from upwards of $7,000, crazy, rite? Anyways you look great as always lol.

At first sight you would think that the jacket colors are unrelated, but after having a wide view within the person who wears it, it just looks perfect.
Wow, I love your hair this way! Also very envious of that clutch.
