Get-A-Way.
When I feel that I need a recharge I tend to head back home to rural North West Virginia.
It's not too long of a drive from Northern drive and it is a completely different world.

Large yards. Space between houses. 3 stop lights. Smiling strangers. A slower pace. The river.
Dogs. A lot of dogs.

These things all help me relax from the hustle and bustle of my city/suburban life outside of DC when I really need to escape.

This past weekend, I was able to take a less than 24 hour getaway to really unplug and unwind. 
I enjoyed the beautiful weather outside on a patio where I couldn't see inside my neighbors house.
I played with all the dogs I hadn't seen in awhile, and I sipped wine and enjoyed some grilled dinner.

With the feeling of being relaxed comes the relaxed outfit.
This outfit, to me, is basically the perfect lounge and relax outfit that is a step-up from leggings.

The oversized cardigan is always a comfy go-to outfit staple.
Surprisingly, these cropped straight leg jeans are a newer comfortable addition to my closet.

Denim has been having a moment and really changing things up.

While classic denim is just that, classic, there are so many fun new denim choices and trends recently.
With trying a new trend I obviously went looking at my favorite denim brand, Current Elliott, for a fun selection of options.

These jeans are a little different than the style I normally go for.
The cropped loose hem is big change but to my surprise they are slowly becoming a favorite.
I am loving the more loose feel that these cropped straight leg jeans give.
Since, they are Current Elliott the fabric is true denim which I believe adds to their comfort level. 
It is nice to have a more free feeling style of pant option versus my normal straight skinny preferences.

While I am drawn toward their comfort, I am still uncertain about their length.
I may opt to hem them a little big so they don’t feel as overwhelming for my frame.

I am still playing around with different styling options so I am sure you will see more of these jeans on this blog in the future.
