I love them they do great 4:03 sweaters and this is a great little 4:06 crochet tank that you could wear now 4:08 that's going to take you all through the 4:10 summer if you're cold weather like me 4:12 I'm probably going to throw on a little 4:13 blazer with this right a little sweet 4:14 jacket something over the top but the 4:17 great thing about picking up this little 4:18 crochet tank is you're going to wear 4:20 this with your skirts and your shorts 4:22 through the summer and what a great 4:23 little date night out top have it paired 4:26 back to Denim that's my go-to for date 4:27 night I'm picking for you what stylists 4:31 are saying are the go-to denim styles 4:33 for all body types right now so this one 4:36 is by citizens it's the Lila high-rise 4:39 boot cut while it is high rise I I will 4:41 say it doesn't feel super high-rise on 4:43 me and I have I have a tight little 4:46 waist on me so 4:47 um this actually I think would fit a lot 4:49 of different people closer to a mid-rise 4:51 it's that boot cut which I love for date 4:53 night makes your legs look long and lean 4:55 and then pairing it back to a little bit 4:57 more of a heel instead of a sneaker this 4:59 is our corkies so Corky's is easy right 5:03 because you're going to get that Comfort 5:04 but you get a little bit of the heel a 5:06 little bit of that sexier Vibe and then 5:08 if you're in cold weather like me you're 5:10 probably going to go back to more of 5:11 like your clog something a little closed 5:14 toe but look at that that would be so 5:16 fun same thing different climate but boy 5:18 if you've got the weather get the toes 5:20 out sounds like fun to me 5:22 um let me go back to the citizen Jean 5:24 for just a minute I also love this wash 5:26 so as you're picking up new denim 5:28 heading into the spring season start 5:30 taking a look at those lighter washes 5:32 they're going to give you life all the 5:33 way through those summer nights when you 5:35 go out and again love this boot cut but 5:39 for again for reference I'm 5'7 so it's 5:41 not super super long I think a lot of 5:43 women are going to get away with this 5:44 without tailoring which is always a nice 5:46 little tip so Lila by citizens high-rise
