If there’s one wardrobe essential we all need year round, it’s a good pair of jeans. Denim is something that we all own and has become known as an American classic. But sadly, finding the right pair is a constant struggle. Sizing is so different from store to store and don’t even get me started on finding the right fit.

But the other day, I was shopping at the mall and I decided to run into American Eagle after seeing their displays for a denim sale. I tried on a few and was so surprised at how well they fit. One of my biggest pet peeves in denim is when the ankle on skinny jeans is baggy. I want it to almost cut off the blood circulation to my foot (ok, not really, but you get the point) and I finally found a cut that fits my ankle (and everything else) right: Denim X by American Eagle.

Since it’s not quite that cool yet, but it is mid-September, I wanted to showcase two ways to wear the same jeans & top to bring the look from summer to fall. First is a basic look that I dressed up a little by wearing heels and adding some pretty jewels. I took the same pieces into fall by switching to boots, layering a denim button up over the top, and throwing on a feminine scarf. Transitioning can be so tough, but things like adding layers (& then removing them when the sun decides to come out to play!) and warm shoes really help make it a little easier.

Denim X is a great line to move into fall with. Be sure to check out how my blogging buddies {Fashionably Lo, Life with Emily, My Style Vita & The Chiffon Diary} styled the same pair on their blogs and on the American Eagle blog!
