Well, look what I found! A photo with the ankle-zip jeans and the sandals. You can’t see my oversize top, but that’s because it’s under my beloved oversize denim jacket<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if I have any other photos that show the ankle-zip jeans. We didn’t make a point of taking head-to-toe outfit photos in the pre-fashion-blog days.
