I love a good outfit that's all about denim and flats. Yes, aspirational fashion is truly *a delight*, but in the real world, I'm reaching for my favorite jeans multiple times a week, and simply attempting to put together fall looks that feel polished and practical enough to take me from meetings to a cute dinner.

If denim is your happy place and (like me) you're just secretly trying to be comfortable as possible as you navigate through the world, then chic accessories are going to be your best friends. From classic designer flats from Toteme to trending under-$100 handbags from Mango, these elegant accessories are guaranteed to instantly elevate your favorite pair of jeans.
