Last week, I stopped into Madewell to get my hands on a pair of their darted barrel jeans. These jeans have been so, so popular this season, selling out multiple times. I ordered a pair back in August and they never shipped! I finally canceled the order and went to the source. I fell in love with them in this cool washed black color, but the driftwood brown is so, so good too. I changed into them as soon as I got home! (Wearing above with these $130 mesh flats and my favorite linen tee. I styled with my favorite La Ligne sweater, but look for under $200 with this or this.) Go a size down in thee jeans — I actually could fit into two sizes down but wanted them to be a bit looser/baggier so went one size down instead. I am telling you, if you are into the barrel jean but not willing to invest in a designer pair, these are the ones you want. (N.B.: apparently men like this fit?! My husband, my best friend’s husband, and several Magpie husbands chimed in to say “yes, I like them.”) If you want the look for even less, go with Gap’s under-$80 pair.
While in the store, I also ogled a few other ultra-chic finds under $200: this perfect cashmere cardigan (I found it in on-trend espresso in store but seems to have sold out online — other colors are also gorgeous), these studded ballet flats, and this look-for-less option for the SoldOut NYC chocolate “everything shirt” I raved about a few days back. (The SoldOut NYC top is also under $200, though, and 15% off with JEN15.)
Anyhow, the visit to the mall led me to round up a bunch of other everyday outfit pieces — things I’d reach for and combine for daily wear — for under $200. See below!
