Happy Thursday! We had a lot of requests to do a post on affordable denim (under $100) + some petite-friendly options! In case y’all didn’t know, we are both 5’1″, so finding jeans that fit properly can be a struggle! I am sure those of y’all there tall also have that problem!
We are sharing some budget-friendly jeans and shorts, and hope it is helpful for you all!
Happy Monday! We have had SO many requests to cover our favorite jeans for petites (many of y’all may not know that we are only 5’1″). We actually covered this topic in another blog post a while back, but we wanted to do an updated one!
Y’all know we are MAJOR fans of a good ripped jean. You can honestly never have too many! We rounded up our faves (most of them super affordable AND comfy!) We own a lot of these, and wear them so much, so we are excited to share them with y’all!
#3 is more of an investment pair, but SO worth it! We got ours during the anniversary sale and love the fit and rips in them. Super duper comfy, so highly recommend!
#4 is another great one and we own these in 2 washes (the light and dark). These are almost like a legging because they are super comfy. #7 is the same pair in olive!
#6 is a classic Levi’s pair and under $88. They are more of a jean material, so not super stretchy, but the rips are amazing!
We also have #10 and love a black skinny. These are a great pair for fall and winter!
#1,#2, and #5 are all under $75 and a great budget pair!
If there is one item that is a MUST in our closet, it is ripped jeans. It can be so hard to find ones that fit us the right length, and really, just all around because of how petite we are. Many of y’all may not know that we are only 5’1″, so finding short jeans can be quite the challenge sometimes! We popped into Express the other week and found TONS of jeans that we loved, all at a great price point that come in shorter lengths, longer lengths, and regular, too! These ripped jeans are one of our favorites because they have rips in all the right places, especially the knees! These are stretchy, so they are actually comfortable to travel in, run errands in, etc. They also have some other jeans that are not as ripped, which will be at the bottom of the post! We paired these ripped jeans with a comfy cardigan (love the bell sleeves on it) with this strappy cami (under $40). This cami has the perfect amount of detailing, without being too revealing. For those of y’all who are wondering what we wear underneath, we just wear the silicon petals!You can wear these jeans with a cami, how we did, or a basic tee. These can be dressed up or down!

We also found a great pair of olive jeans that have just the perfect amount of distressing in them. These also come in a shorter length option, and can be worn with so many pieces. Shop our favorite jeans below:
We paired these jeans with this coral cold shoulder top (wearing XS). This peach color is super flattering on any skin tone, and looks great with olive! We love that these jeans feel like you’re wearing leggings, but they look like jeans and are super comfy!We are honestly so surprised with the great pieces Express has. Not only are their jeans great, but they have some great dresses, tops, work clothing, and even accessories. What we love so much about them is that their prices are super affordable, and they always have some kind of promotion, which always helps;)

If you’re anything like me, you could live in kicks all day, everyday! Really, though, if I am not in gym clothes, I am in some form of comfy tee and jeans or cutoffs and either a flat sandals or kicks. I remember making fun of my mom for wearing athletic shoes with jeans, and saying how “mom” that looks. Clearly my opinion has changed (sorry, mom!). Alex and I got these kicks back in May and wore them to BottleRock in Napa–more on that here, and we were obsessed!
I love these kicks because they’re SO comfy and they definitely don’t look like you put on your gym shoes with your jeans. Plus, how fun is the gold?! I get asked a lot about how exactly to wear kicks with regular jeans and not look like you forgot your pair of other shoes at home. My tips are to make sure the rest of your look is put together. No, that doesn’t mean put ten pounds of makeup up on and call it a day. I would style it with either a cute blouse or a nice tee. Something with a fun detail like this one or a pocket always helps, as opposed to a frumpy, baggy tee. I also recommend pairing it with a cute bag like this one and a pair of dark or ripped jeans. Athletic shoes like these would also look cute with white denim or a pair of cutoffs. I also styled these with a dress and it looked super cute too!
We did this post a while back in August/September here, but since we have been getting a lot of requests to do an updated one, we thought we would do an updated one! Many of y’all may not realize we are only 5’1″, aka VERY petite. We often have trouble finding jeans that are the right length for our shorter legs. Usually, we go for the ones that are a “short” or “petite” version, so that the jeans fit properly in all the right spots!
We usually look for a shorter inseam (between 26″ and 30″), so that the jeans fit properly length-wise!
Our most own jeans are this pair that we have in white, black, dark wash, and light wash. And, not going to lie, we definitely own multiple pairs of them in the denim and white because we love them so much;)
