How do you style your I.S. pieces?

Probably with a sweatshirt...in all honesty :) In quarantine, of course!! If i’m wearing jeans to an event or to hang out with friends, I really love crop top sweaters!

MID-RISE OR HIGH WAISTED JEANS?

High waisted

BOYFRIEND OR SKINNY JEAN?

Pre-quarantine I was very much a skinny jeans person, but after loving the last year or so of wearing sweatpants every day, I think I may switch over to boyfriend jeans being my top choice!
