Maria; when you publish I get SO excited because I can’t wait to see what you are wearing and styling. This post didn’t disappoint; I’m super impressed with those CoH jeans because I’m only 5’3” and could have sworn they wouldn’t work for me until hearing your height.

I also started buying the nicer granola to upgrade my morning yogurt and it’s such a treat.

Thanks for the gobs of inspo.

Aaww thank you, Kelly!! That means so much. I wasn’t sure the jeans would work either but getting them hemmed was such a game changer. x

Thanks, Ofelia!! I'm so glad the jeans worked because they really felt like a gamble, especially with the length! You and all your Paris pics are forever my Pinterest inspo! x

Highly relatable to influence yourself into buying something :) I never stray from Agolde, but those Annina jeans are very tempting between the loose fit and 33" inseam. Is this a high rise irl? It looked like a low rise on SSENSE, but high waisted on you. I love a good granola and jam, these both look excellent.

I won't lie... it's not the first time I influenced myself after writing about something! You know what, I hadn't bought COH jeans in years because I was also deep in my Agolde phase. These are the first pair in a while that caught my eye and now, i'm very interested in checking out more COH pairs! I saw the pic on SSENSE and thought the same thing about the jeans - really weird they're showing as low-rise because the description says high rise, and that's how they fit on me.

Thank you for this Maria! If it's doesn't touch, or better yet, completely cover my belly button, it's not for me.

Haha I get that, Tina! I bought my first pair of mid-rise denim and I think that's as low as I'll go!

This was such a great read Maria, I'll have to check the jeans out for myself (as someone that's 5'2"). I find sometimes jeans lose their intended shape once they're hemmed but these look phenomenal on you! Also, lovely to know that you live in Canada too :)

Thanks, Ritika! I always worry about the same thing when getting jeans hemmed, which is why I typically like to stick to styles that come in shorter lengths so I can avoid it. But thankfully, these worked out! Yes, I'm from Toronto but now live an hour north of the city. I love finding fellow Canadian writers on here, too! x

From a 5’1 girl, thank you for your denim service! I also love your bangle, it looks gorgeous. I’m not much of a jewelry person but am finding that one bolder bangle has been a perfect addition to my outfits lately. I’m also a granola girl for breakfast, with Greek yogurt and blueberries. Definitely makes the morning better! Super fun series!

Thanks, Lindsay!! Totally with you on the bangle - I love how just even wearing one adds something special to an outfit. I’m also a sucker for getting the fancier Greek yogurt (today I had a key lime pie flavour 😬) x

I lovvvvve this series, Maria!!! I can’t even pick a favorite look, they’re all too good. But I have a special place in my heart for the CoH denim, naturally

And those breakfast upgrades are making me hungry!!!

Thanks, Emily!! I went through an agolde phase, but I'm definitely back on the COH train - especially after your post. I want to try the Ayla ones you have so bad! xx
