As a large boned individual, I’ve always avoided menswear styles. After spending every weekend on the softball field as a kid, the last thing I thought I needed was something to enhance my already athletic figure. What I’ve realized is a great fitting blazer won’t actually make you resemble a football player, but surprisingly has the ability to offer a slimming effect (and make you look like a girl boss). Same applies to boyfriend jeans. Not unlike Shakira, my hips definitely don’t lie – they’re wide and completely obnoxious when it comes to finding any article of clothing that’s supposed to go over them. I’ve always hated them but guess what, I’m barely going to feel childbirth unlike all my normal sized friends. Can’t wait! However, with a great pair of pumps, the boyfriend jean can look stellar on any figure. Aimee Song said so herself at the Lucky FABB blogger conference so it’s basically fact. Besides, with the resurgence of menswear in the fashion world, what better time to embrace boyfriend jeans and a blazer than now?

Yes, menswear is so fab!
Haha I always tell myself the same thing about childbirth – that it’s a gift that my hips are already huge! I think you look totally feminine and gorgeous in this outfit!
It’s great to be in such good company, Ashley!!
Love the white blazer + your DY pieces, especially that Albion ring!

I’m sorry, you’re a large boned individual? I beg to differ! ;) JK, you can classify yourself however you want… either way, this outfit is so cute! I love it. Two thumbs up.
I am! I swear! I just hide it strategically :)
The denim on denim with a pop of red and lavender nails is perfection.
