NYDJ #FitToBe

NYDJ #FitToBe - Spring Denim on Denim Outfit

For so many of us, it can be hard to find a pair of jeans that fits just right.

Because of the years I spent working at a denim store, I know first hand that many women struggle with finding jeans they feel good in. It doesn’t seem to matter what size a woman wears. Denim is just one of those things that people have a hard time with. I watched women beat themselves up about how they looked as they tried on pair after pair of jeans. The search for the perfect pair of jeans is also complicated by the fact that most brands design their denim for a particular body shape, which most women don’t have.

As a short, curvy girl…I can assure you that most jeans are not designed with me in mind. I’ve learned a lot over the years about how to shop for denim, which is probably why I’ve accumulated quite the collection! I’m always on the hunt for brands that design their denim with the average woman in mind. One of the brands that “gets” this struggle is NYDJ. Granted, until recently, I hadn’t heard of them, but as soon as I looked into the company and their philosophy around denim, I was sold. All of their jeans are crafted with premium denim, so they fit well and feel almost as soft as sweatpants.

This year, NYDJ has launched the #FitToBe campaign, and they reached out to 58 women to help spread their message. I’m really proud that I am one of these women! Why 58 women? That number represents the number of sizes they offer (across petite, tall and plus). Considering that most brands offer sizes 24-32 in one length, that’s a big deal! The #FitToBe campaign emphasizes that regardless of your age or shape, their jeans will make a woman feel beautiful, confident, radiant and sexy.

As for me, I’m #FitToBe confident…but I’ll be honest, it’s always a work in progress!

Confidence is an important quality to possess in all aspects of life, including fashion. My mantra is that if you wear a style or trend with confidence, you can pull it off. That being said, I completely understand that like many things, having confidence in yourself is easier said than done. That’s why it’s always a work in progress for me.

Whenever I lack confidence in my own life (fashion or otherwise), it’s usually because in the moment, I’m comparing myself to other people. This is why they say, comparison is the thief of joy. The more I compare myself to other people, the more I feel badly about myself. Even though it’s human nature to compare yourself to others, doing so can really take your confidence down a few notches. This is the case in life and it’s the case in fashion, too.

Moral of the story? Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Be confident, rock those skinny jeans…and just be happy with being you! Oh, and if your outfit turns out looking a bit like the Canadian Tuxedo, well – rock that too.

    What a great post!! The outfit is super cute by the way, and I totally understand the curvy girl vs. appropriate jean fit battle. I’m glad that you addressed and that there are companies out there who are taking notice and catering to that! I’m totally feeling #FitToBe confident as well!! 🙂

    I’ve always been turned off by the name of NYDJ, but it’s great to hear such a positive review of them for all of us shapes out there!

    And your hair is on point! 🙂

      I hadn’t really heard of them before, so I didn’t really think much about the name. I just figured they were worth trying based on the fact that they catered to so many body types.

      And thanks! 🙂

    I love your writing style, Jackie, and your message really resonates with me. Confidence really is our best accessory. And don’t get me started on how difficult it is for us short girls (with hips, and a bootie!) to find the right fitting jeans! These jeans look awesome on you! And I love the way you styled them with the heels and sweater. Totally on point, girlie!

    You are so right – denim is the worst to shop for! This si so cool that they have so many fits, and you are the perfect choice to show this pair off!

    THIS is how you do layers! This looks like so many elements but it’s actually just a few put together in a proportional way — such a clever take on the more traditional stripe & jeans look!

    These jeans look like they were made for you! Such a good fit. I find it so hard to buy pants/denim, too. Always something off about one area! I love your bold lip, Jackie. So fun!

    Your denim on denim look is lovely! It took me a long time to find the right place to get jeans that fit my body type, Express. Now I won’t buy jeans from anywhere else

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
