Current/Elliott: Get The Look For Less

April 16, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

If you miraculously are not being affected by the economy, then you go right ahead and buy the most fabulous and popular jeans of the season: Current Elliott Boyfriend Jeans in Super Loved Destroyed

However, if you’re on a tight budget this Spring, consider grabbing the cheaper version from Express. They are on sale for $47.70 (which is 40% off their original price), a total bargain for jeans that look almost identical.

When it comes to trendy items, would you rather buy the real thing or find something similar for a lot less? Add your comment >>

Celebrity Fashion: Denise Richards

April 15, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

Denise Richards was spotted out shopping in Current/Elliott ‘The Boyfriend Jeans’.

Current/Elliott is SO HOT this season! It’s like everywhere you look, there they are. Denise is just one more celebrity to hop on the ripped jeans trend bandwagon.

I wasn’t able to find a cheaper version of these jeans, unfortunately. I found some white destroyed jeans, but they are a skinny cut instead of a boyfriend cut…

I found another similar pair of white destroyed jeans for only $40. You could always buy them a size too big to get the boyfriend look.

Pair with any white v-neck shirt that you already have in your closet and your favorite pair of Havaianas for a casual weekend look a la Denise Richards.

Spring & Summer 2009 Fashion Trends: Ripped Jeans

April 13, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

By now, you already know that Current/Elliott Boyfriend Jeans are THE jeans for 2009.

If you’re looking for some ripped jeans but don’t want to pay $220+ on the Current/Elliott The Boyfriend Jean, then you’re in luck because I found some Low-Rise Boyfriend Jeans you can get for only $50 at Delias.com.

The cheapest pair I could find was on Sears.com for only $30. They call them Fragile Boyfriend Jeans. I hope they aren’t actually fragile though…

If you’re open to spending $128 for a pair, check out the Boyfriend Jeans in Santiago Wash from Guess.com. Pricey, but really nice looking!

And if you want boyfriend jeans without the rips and distress, try a pair from Victoria’s Secret. You can get their new Boyfriend Jean for less than $60.

Levis makes a pair of boyfriend jeans

wait for it

… $248!!!!!!!!!

I’m sorry, but why? Am I the only one who was under the misconception that Levis made affordable denim??? Geez!!!!! Why would I pay $248 for a pair of Levis when I can get Current/Elliott jeans for $229?

Anyway…… I found another pair of bleach washed Boyfriend Jeans from American Eagle for $39.50 and a cute pair of Destroyed Skinny Crop Jeans and Ripped Boy Fit Jeans, both for $49.50.

So if you want to get on board with the ripped jeans trend, there are definitely some affordable options out there. And the good things is, anyone can wear this trend. You don’t have to be a stick figure to make this trend work. Boyfriend style ripped jeans look good on all shapes and sizes. If you need plus-sizes, you’re in luck because Torrid has a Light-Wash Rolled-Cuff Boyfriend Denim Jean for $52.00. They are really cute!

Because ripped jeans make such a big statement, keep the rest of your outfit simple. A basic tee and flip flops or gladiator sandals are the way to go. You can also wear a simple pair of flats. Be careful not to overdo it with accessories either. Simple earrings, no necklace, and a neutral woven belt works best. This is an easy outfit to put together for running errands during the week or relaxing all weekend. If you need any outfit ideas, let me know and I’ll post some!

I love SJP no matter what she wears. She always looks stylish and chic, and this outfit is no exception. I love the casual jersey tee with the Current Elliott Boyfriend Jeans in Hickory Stripe. I love that she’s accessorized with a jean vest in a different wash and simple sandals. It’s the perfect Spring/Summer outfit.

Those awesome Current Elliott Boyfriend Jean in Hickory Stripe as seen in NY Times Style Section and Vogue Magazine as well as on Sarah Jessica Parker. They are very cool pants, but come with a hefty price tag of $219.00.

You can get the same style for a lot less though. Levi’s has a cool boyfriend jean for $78.00 but they don’t have the stripes. If you want to go for the full look, try the Cheap Monday Tight Skinny Jeans in Worker Stripe for $65.00.

I couldn’t find a vest like the one Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing here, but you can get a Scoop Neck ¾ Sleeve on ShadeClothing.com. Or get an almost identical babydoll tunic on Victoria’s Secret for only $9.99!!

I can’t identify the exact brand of her simple 2 strap sandals, but I found a couple similar pairs.
