3 BY 3 | Winter Jeans

I've not done many styling posts this year that haven't come from specific new Plaza releases but recently I've thought of starting some up again - refreshing some old post ideas and bringing in some new ones, and it's a new one I'm bring out today '3 BY 3' where I will style up 3 pieces from one theme/item type in 3 different ways to show the versatility of the pieces. I think it could be pretty fun and I already have quite a few themes picked out already, starting off today with Winter jeans, enjoy!

Despite not wearing jeans a lot of the time, I have a bizarrely large collection of jeans from over the years - I used to be a firm 'skinny jeans only' person, but now for my doll I love a range of fits and find I have a lot more looser pairs than skinny in my collection. I have a total of 35 pairs in my wardrobe at the moment (that shocks me a little!) and today I will be styling the Hotbuys High Rise Jeans (Pretty 'N Love, 17SD's;  February 2019 HBs), the Pearl Beaded Loose Fit Denim (Subcouture, 25SD's) and the GOM Fade Out Black Denim (Special Offer, GOM Reward December 2016).

These have definitely been one of my favourite pairs of jeans recently, I love so many things about them from the waist-line design, the wash and the fit on the doll, they're really quite perfect^ I found these jeans very easy to style up, they work with a range of different colours in both light and dark tones - I think the beige and whites look fab with the jeans for a lighter style, I'm especially loving the combination of these beige boots and the Chloe Drew in the first styling^ But equally also adoring the navy polo in look two, there are so many navy options to choose from as well. And I already knew black pieces looked great with these jeans, they really pop in the third styling - I've paired the jeans with these boots before and just had to repeat the pairing, it's perfect for me =D

These are another pair that I love having in my wardrobe and love styling fairly regularly despite the fact that they're not really an every-day pair of jeans with their pearl embellishments. They're super fancy for jeans and I think that's maybe why I've been loving them so much! I found these super easy to style in 3 completely different looks, and several more wouldn't have been an issue. I've always loved pairing up these pink pearl-embellished heels with the jeans, it's such a cute pairing and I think it makes for a fun party-styling - and there are plenty of other pink pieces which work well with the jeans to include, I particularly love this pearlescent coat with the pairing. And the jeans look fab with both black and white, I really don't think I could pick a favourite between these two looks! I'm a big fan of black with blue denim like this, I think the jeans really pop in a styling like this, and also adoring these accessories, definitely my favourite pairing these boots, the bag and the earrings together^ The white is also great, and really makes the pearls be eye-catching in the styling. With a shorter jacket the cut of the jeans can really be shown off and it works equally well as styling them with an overcoat.

This pair are somewhat of my 'wildcard' choice of the 3 pairs of jeans, I think I've maybe worn them once but they're not a pair I reach for if a look needs jeans and I really went into this with almost no ideas on how to style them - they're a real challenge for me! For me it's the different tones of washed denim that make it a challenge, I think these are maybe a little too casual for me to comfortably style. I do really like the checks with these jeans though, I think this first jacket looks really good with them but I definitely struggled a little with the rest of the look and choosing a direction - it's not too bad, but I think it could be better! The second look is my least favourite, I like the boots and bag with the jeans, but I'm not happy with the rest of the look. And I do really love the overcoat in the final look, however it does blend into the colour of the jeans quite a lot, they're quite hidden in this styling which I didn't mean to do! I think the silver in the accessories and the sweater look great with the wash on the jeans though, so I think this one isn't too bad either^ Room for improvement with these jeans for sure!
