Distressed Skinny Jeans + Tie-Front Buttondown

First, I apologize for my lack of posts in the last couple of weeks.  If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you probably saw that I was on vacation in South Africa and had the most amazing trip! South Africa is now in my top favorite places I have ever visited, and I am looking forward to sharing more about our vacation with you here on this blog.  I packed light for our ten day trip with one 19" (international standard size) carry on suitcase for the majority of my things and one weekender bag to hold my purse, headphones, jacket, and makeup/toiletries for the plane rides. That means you will see quite a bit of mixing and matching of outfits in my South Africa travel logs, and today's outfit is a great example.  I purchased these distressed skinny jeans during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and they have quickly become my new favorite denim. These jeans run true to size, but I purposely sized up for more of a boyfriend fit and am so glad that I did. The fit is exactly what I wanted! This tie-front buttondown shirt is a new and flattering take on a classic white blouse that I purchased right before we left and I know I will wear over and over again. Please scroll through to see two slightly different ways that I styled these jeans and blouse together, links to what I am wearing, and more of my picks for distressed skinny jeans and tie-front blouses.
