Why Cigarette Jeans Are Life

It’s Friday, and we’re back with another post before you head off to enjoy your weekend. My whole week has been thrown off because I traveled to North Carolina Monday and then worked remotely Tuesday – Thursday. Cue me asking Caitlin about her day but always being one day off! *Face Palm* We’re still operating on that Summer mode busy level, what about you? I kind of expected it to slow down by now but I know Caitlin is already booked through October basically! 

We’re both looking forward to attending Farm Aid next weekend with our cousins. My favorite is Nathanial Rateliff and the Night Sweats and Caitlin’s is Luke Combs. Being the planners that we are, we’re plotting our big breakfast to fill up for the day and then how to strategically pack the best snacks in our one allotted bag we can carry in! It’s going to be a marathon of a day but in the best way. 

Speaking of Farm Aid, we’re still plotting out our outfits. It’s made more difficult because we won’t really know what Wisconsin weather will bring us until we get closer to the day. The ongoing joke is that we actually have twelve seasons, not four. So currently we’re in fake Fall where everyone gets super excited about all the clothes and pumpkin everything. So by next week we might be back to Summer temperatures and wanting to wear shorts, you just never know! I think the bottom line will be layers, which is usually the answer if we’re not in the dead of Summer.

But back to today’s look. This is an outfit that will take you from Summer nights well into Fall. You know for our night looks, heck even a lot of our day options we like to reach for bodysuits. I think a lot has to do with that sleek tucked-in look. Plus we both hate sitting down and reaching back to make sure that our underwear is peeking out the back of our jeans. Which happens a lot more than you’d think, considering we both are high waisted jean girls. But one thing to mention is that some bodysuits are still cut pretty high and might still end up having that gap. 

This bodysuit, in particular, is on the shorter end of being considered a tall. I doubt I (Jenilee) would be able to wear it, as Caitlin had to keep making adjustments. It probably has a lot to do with the fabric being stiffer, so it has limited stretch to it. The details on it, make it a perfect night out piece for your closet. The off the shoulder sleeves, the bow detail on the front, and the seams all class it up more than our other basic bodysuits.

Paired with Caitlin’s favorite pair of jeans for Fall, you’ve got the perfect date night or girls night out look. These jeans from Gap are the Cigarette style and she’s wearing them in a size 30 and for sizing reference, she is also typically a 30/31. They have some stretch and are stiffer than a lot of our other Gap jeans. They should have less stretch because they have more of a shape on their own whereas with skinny jeans your legs “make the shape.”

Lastly, we’ve got to give some love to these heels that Caitlin lives in from Amazon. She’s gotten SO MUCH wear out of them. The best part is the price tag, them being under $30! It doesn’t get better than that. They only go up to size 12 but we’ve linked some other similar options that have further extended sizing. That’s all for today, hope you have a great weekend!
