High Waist Jeans

This time of year it can be hard to stay inspired with your outfits among all the craziness. So we decided to ask local gal Carly Kilpatrick, merchandiser for Marin boutique Citrus, to pick her favorite pair of INDi jeans and style them up. She chose our high rise Soma Flare in a rinse wash. Carly is a beach girl on both coasts and has a laid back but classic style. Her inspiration for the outfit came from the current 70’s trend in fashion as well as the flattering high waist cut that makes any jean feel more dressed up. This easy, comfortable outfit is perfect for running errands around town and then heading out to dinner to meet a few friends.

Jessie of The Concrete Catwalk is the go to girl for fashion and styling advice. She takes a mix of vintage and new pieces and creates a signature look all her own. Fortunately for the rest of us, she also runs her own styling company Style & Pepper, so she can share her unique fashion viewpoint. Recently, Jesse designed a high waisted pair of INDI tapered jeans and we jumped at the chance to ask her about denim and personal style.

1. How would you describe your style?
I’ve been thinking so much about this lately, and it’s honestly a tough thing to do!  I like to dress for my mood, and always try to inject a bit of humor and visual interest into my look.  I’m definitely drawn to more “eclectic” styles, and love wearing things that elicit an eyebrow raise or two. (;

2. Custom denim is a big investment. Any tips for how to wear jeans multiple ways?
I think pairing jeans with pieces that are really unexpected is the best way to get the most bang for your buck… I can honestly say that I hardly EVER wear jeans with something as simple as a t-shirt, but instead have been snazzing them up lately with focal pieces like crazy layered jewelry, neon knit sweaters or multiple animal print accessories.

3. How do the places you’ve lived (AZ, CA, and KC) effect your style?
I love being influenced by the cities I’ve lived… the part of AZ that I grew up in has a more resort-y classic vibe, San Diego added an edgier laid-back touch, and Kansas City has really inspired me to embrace the vintage style that I feel makes up the majority of my wardrobe today!  We’re moving to the NYC-area next month, and I’ll be interested to see how that affects my day-to-day outfits, as well.

4. What blogs do you use for style inspiration?
Oh man… I love reading blogs for inspiration, and there are SO many that I could name here that it would be ridiculous.  I definitely have my faves, but I would say the ones that inspire me the most are the outfit bloggers who aren’t afraid to take risks, and who find the majority of their pieces from vintage/resale/thrift shops instead of buying every single trend they see from the bigbox fast fashion stores.  I love having things that are unique to me (which is why I LOVE my INDI jeans!), and I think the bloggers that creatively show how have a big impact in the most unique way are my absolute faves. (:
