If you pretty much live in your black jeans come fall, this story was written for you and you only. As someone who humbly wears the same pair of straight-leg jeans on repeat all season long, I know the struggle that comes with trying to make your go-to pants feel fresh day in and day out. While sweatshirts and big jackets are always a good idea, sometimes it's a pretty little top you're craving, and today, I've rounded up 33 of them to make your black jean life feel ten times more exciting.
