That's right everybody we're wearing pants; we know this is a phenomenon we promise the world is not ending. Jeans are a wardrobe staple for many people. While we don't typically wear jeans we decided to try our hand at styling them, largely inspired by Marilyn Monroe. Blue jeans were not always popular in women's fashion; Kyra's grandma told her that she didn't own a pair of jeans when she was our age because they were only made for men. Once hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe started wearing them, they changed the way women looked at pants forever. Though they weren't referred to as blue jeans but instead dungarees. The dungarees found in the 1950's are similar to the blue jeans found today, but definitely more like fraternal twins than identical and we want to showcase that in our post. Keep scrolling to see how blue jeans have evolved over time and how we made them our own.

We decided to showcase two different styles of blue jeans. Paola is wearing true 1950's dungarees and Kyra is wearing a modern pair of high waisted skinny jeans. We chose Marilyn Monroe for our inspiration on these outfits, simply because she truly knew how to rock jeans. She made us want to give them a second try, since we don't wear them regularly (we're still struggling to find the perfect pair,that fit just right!). Marilyn was seen in pants many times throughout the years from high waisted jeans, to long flowing trousers and everything in between. She revolutionized the idea that jeans couldn't be worn by women and that they couldn't be alluring or fashionable.

After all vintage jeans have pockets, and nothing beats that! We're on the hunt for more to build our collection and bring new looks to the blog with it.
