While I do tend to wear dresses most of the time, I do like to reach for my favorite pair of jeans when I’m running out for errands on the weekends or giving myself a casual day at the office. I recently picked up the most comfortable pair of jeggings from American Eagle (who continues to be my best option for my petite built since they offer both short and extra short) and this past Saturday was my very first time wearing them out of the house.
Having a pair of jeans that not only fits well but are complementary (ie not too tight, not baggy and despite the trend no holes or frayed edges for me!) to your figure is important when you’re going for a casual yet chic aesthetic and these while I definitely tend towards dark wash jeans, these lighter wash jeggings fit in with my personal aesthetic perfectly.
My shirt was a gift from Grayson last year thanks to one of my brand ambassador programs that I’m a part of, and while it requires ironing before each wear (that is the nature of linen after all) I absolutely love the fit of the shirts from this brand. I’m wearing The Hero Classic White in Tumbled Linen and here’s a little run down on the unique sizing at Grayson.
Grayson Sizing
01 | Fits like an XS
02 | Fits like an S
03 | Fits like an M
04 | Fits like an L
05 | Fits like an XL
I’ve worn my Grayson shirt in a variety of ways, with several different looks, including tied at the waist over dresses and tucked into linen pants. For this look, I opted for a more casual untucked approach with rolled-up sleeves and a popped collar.
My love of Navy is no secret by now, and I paired my look with the sweetest little clutch/pouch from Kate Loxton that I picked up last year. You can view this year’s selection of pouch here.
The locket is from Bryan Anthony and it’s called the Rays of Hope Necklace and I’ve been wearing it every day since it arrived. I love that you can wear it at varying lengths depending on your neckline or overall look you’re going for, and I cannot wait until I can put pictures of both my nieces inside. (My second niece will be arriving in late September, which can’t come soon enough for me!)
The other jewelry pieces I’m wearing are the Taner Bar Bracelet and Gypset Delicate Bracelet from Gorjana and the Slim Signet Ring from GLDN. All of these jewelry pieces have become my everyday wear pieces lately.
About The Pointe
The Pointe from Margaux is made for comfort, and is avialable with or without a bow. As a lover of the color Navy, the Pointe in Midnight was the ideal choice. The shoes are so comfortable right out of the box with no need to take any time breaking them in. The shoe molds to your foot with continued wear and features the most beautiful suede upper and leather lining and 5mm of plush foam padding for extra comfort.
Sizing
For this shoe I would go with your typical size in Margaux flats, so that was a 6M for me and there was absolutely no toe pinching and I didn’t even mind the bit of toe cleavage you get with the scoop of these shoes.

My toes are just as happy at the end of the day as they were when I first slipped these ballet flats on. Definitely, a must-have shoe in my book! Get 10% off your order from Margaux when you shop via the following link.
