Welcome to Before I Head Out, a monthly series in which fashion editor Anneliese Dominguez rounds up the snaps she's taken of her favorite outfits before heading out the door of her Los Angeles apartment.
If you know me, you know I have a slight—okay, major—obsession with jeans. I'm consistently adding new pairs to my collection (this pair from Khaite officially owns my heart) and definitely wear them more than anything else in my closet. In fact, my college roommate once found me napping in our dorm with jeans on, and she's made fun of me ever since. So in an effort to branch out this month, I challenged myself to leave the house in everything but jeans as often as I could. I didn't ditch them altogether (I could never—they're a year-round fashion-person staple), but I did make a conscious effort to break out of my comfort zone and opt for outfits sans jeans. The result? Oh, no big deal, just some ridiculously cute 'fits starring red satin midis, a pair of trousers that could become my new go-to (gasp!), a denim maxi skirt that's been making its way into editors' hearts from coast to coast, and more. Want to see the outfits I came up with? Keep scrolling.
