A Pair of Boyfriend Jeans & Sweater for a Comfy Casual Look

Hey, hey! It’s Friday, ladies, which means it’s time to kick off the weekend with a delicious recipe and cocktail. Of course, my favorite sidekick, Oscar is on deck and I’m sporting a laid-back outfit that’s perfect for a chilly Spring day.  (Although simple, today’s appetizer may be better than Clinton Kelly’s shrimp appetizer, maybe.)

Can you believe our temps have bounced from 39 degrees to 75ish in the course of a week? Mother Nature can be a fickle creature this time of year. Lightweight sweaters and third layers come in handy! Rest assured I have one or the other on hand.

The Summary

  Today’s featured item is a pair of boyfriend jeans from Kut from the Kloth

  The jeans are modeled

  The entire outfit is shoppable via a text or image widget

  I’ve got a recipe for an Italian Greyhound and Avacado cucumber shrimp bites

Better than Clinton Kelly’s Shrimp Appetizer

1. Boyfriend Jeans

(Kut from the Kloth)

This Spring I’ve been testing new denim silhouettes. The trend for  2022 is a looser fit and I can’t say I’m disappointed. I’ve always loved the slouchy fit of  boyfriend jeans so I was thrilled to stumble upon this pair from Kut from the Kloth available at Nordstrom.

Since the temps were on the brisk side I reached for a striped sweater from Banana Republic. And I always love to slip into a pair of comfy shoes. How cute are these espadrilles from Vince?! They look adorable with a pair jeans.

3. avocado cucumber shrimp bites

Today’s recipes couldn’t be easier. Cucumber, guacamole and shrimp are all that’s needed to whip up a delicious appetizer or snack that’s healthy and perfect for a Spring or Summer day.

  1. You always look lovely. I would like to see more slim leg pants in your posts.

    1. thanks for the suggestion.

    Hi Beth,
    Thanks for today’s post especially because I do not know the definition of boyfriend jeans. Can you please specifically describe them?

    Happy Friday!

    1. boyfriend jeans are meant to be worn slouchy and relaxed. definitely a casual silhouette but they can be dressed up if done right.

  3. Really like the stripped sweater from Banana Republic. The weather has been like that here also. Need a light sweater or 3rd layer, blazer, etc.
    The Cajun shrimp sounds yummy. Say hi to Oscar and Ollie for me.

    1. this striped sweater ticks all the boxes for Spring. not too heavy and not too light. enjoy your weekend!

  4. Birgitta

    I look forward every day to what you have decided to share with us. Fridays with Oscar are my favorite posts no matter what you are showing! Love the love in his eyes when he looks at you.
    I have never written a โ€œfanโ€letter before but you deserve my first. You and Oscar!

    1. thanks so much for stopping by today and leaving a note! Oscar has so much love to give. He’s truly a very special dog.

  5. Patty

    This snack looks delicious! What kind of cheese did you sprinkle on top? Love your blog!

    1. hi patty! i actually mixed up this week’s recipes and next week… long week. but the cheese is queso fresco and the shrimp is (obviously) layered on a tortilla chip instead of a cucumber.

    I love a Breton style sweater, jeans and espadrilles for a casual weekend look. I just canโ€™t embrace the boyfriend trend. The proportions are so unflattering on my body. High rise straight leg jeans – will go for what works for my body over what trends. Chicken soup weather for us today

    1. you’re in luck as high waisted, high rise jeans are trending! enjoy your weekend.

  7. Gay

    Your entire post today is up my alley, from the jeans and sweater look to the cocktailโ€ฆ.also your daily look is cute tooโ€ฆhave a great weekend!

    1. so glad you like today’s post! enjoy your weekend!

  8. Manda

    I like todayโ€™s & the Daily Looks outfits. Thanks for reintroducing me to Banana Republic & Nordstroms. Two places I have enjoyed going to but seem unable to find anything I like online. I am definitely trying both the drink & dish! Hope you have a lovely weekend & thanks again ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Banana Republic has been killing it the past year or so. it’s like the good old days when i used to shop there regularly!

    Good jeans for working in the garden as I’m doing today, but why? I don’t get the whole ‘pay top dollar for ripped clothing’ concept. This is not fashion; it’s artifice.

    1. ha ha! these jeans won’t be gardening with me but they will go out to dinner. as a matter of fact, they already have! isn’t it funny how style perspectives come into play? and, yes, these jeans are considered fashionable. if distressed jeans aren’t your “thing” totally fine. but quite a few women love having a pair of jeans with personality, including me. fashion is but one way we stay modern, fresh, and relevant.

    My husband and I love the cocktail today! I have always loved having a signature cocktail for a holiday, but we needed one tonight, here in The Villages. We embrace your Friday night vibe!

  11. Carolina Girl

    Hooray, it’s Oscar day! The shrimp recipe looks fab. The cocktail too. I am a fan of Kut from the Kloth (bought at Orvis) so will look into these. 90+% of my wardrobe is Talbots, but that brand of jeans is special. They look great on you, Beth.

    1. i’m happy to hear you love this brand too! Frame, Paige, and Mother jeans are also fantastic too.

  12. Lissa

    Beth, you show Tito’s in the pic but the recipe calls for gin. In the new website format, there are large blank spots between some segments, like there’s a missing narrative – did you explain and it didn’t show up on mine for some reason? Thanks for all the great content!

    1. i actually mixed up next week’s recipes with this week… long week. if you’re in doubt there’s always a recipe card you can pin or print. hope this helps!

  13. Susan

    Thanks for the recipes. Drink was good, but I liked it even better with 1.5 oz of club soda to give it some fizz. Happy Spring.
