Proactively stop negative behaviors before they begin by incorporating positive behavior management strategies in the classroom. Rather than being inundated with negative tattling of poor behavior, create a positive classroom environment with this free simple tool. It's a sure-fire way to increase positivity and reduce negative behaviors in your classroom. Let me tell you how.
Today I'm guest blogging on Rachel Lynette's, Minds in Bloom. My post is about how I turned a completely negative classroom environment into a positive and supportive one all by using a simple form.
You can find the full post and a link to the free resource here. If you end up trying it in your classroom, tell me about it! You can leave feedback on TPT or here - either way, I'd love to hear how it works for you!

This is part one of my two-article series that demonstrates the approach of implementing contract-first API design using Apicurioand Red Hat Fuse.
It covers how to create an OpenAPI standard document as the contract between API providers and consumers using Apicurio. It also shows how to quickly create mock tests using Red Hat Fuse.
There are two common approaches of creating these APIs.
Coming from a old time ESB developer, these are not new. We have been doing this forever. Before, it was the WSDL that define the contract of the service. we were doing a lot more code first, for me it's simply because it's much easier for me to write couple of Java classes and generate the WSDL for my consumer.
It's often pretty straightforward if the consumer of your application has finalized how they want the service to be like. But you and I all know this is not often the case. So I had to go back to my code, and make the changes accordingly and pray I did not break anything in the way.
Of course there is always preliminary discussion, but small changes are inevitable, and it's taking the toll of developer to grind through the process of getting everything right.
Thanks to the new OpenAPI Specification, business user, citizen user/developer can use it to negotiate and maybe rung a couple of pre-test with the consumer before it gets handed over to developer. This design approach is called Contract First. It has become more and more popular as it avoids developer wasting time while in the process of negotiating how the service should be provided.
Obviously there are many ways to do Contract First API . I am going to demonstrate how this can be done using Apicurio and Fuse. I will be using Apicurio to define APIs, and automatically generates the Fuse project for quick testing purpose.
We will be providing customer service to our consumer. For the sake of this demo, we will only start with retrieving and creating customer service.
If you don't already have an account, please register for one.
After registering, you will be redirected to the main page of Apicurio, so after discussing with the consumer on what they wish to have for the customer service, we can start creating the contract by clicking on "Create New API".
Enter the name of the service, and would be nice to add some of the description to it so it's easier for people to pick up what everything means.
Set the customer definition, show the detail of info we are going exchange.
Adding Parameters and define it's type.
Once we are done, it's time to export the API Standard documents.
Go to JBoss Developer Studio, create a new Fuse project by right click on navigation panel, select New and Fuse Integration project.
We are going to do this in a microservices approach, so select the most popular runtime - Spring Boot, and we will be running this on Cloud Platform - OpenShift.
You will find a newly generated camel context named "camel-rest.xml", and it has all the Path implementation in Camel.
Copy everything in between "rests", into the original "camel-context.xml" and place in-between "camelContext". and add the following rest configuration on top of the rest component.
We will mock the return result by adding a constant defined bean in the camel context.
Add the camel route in the to "camel-context.xml", the first one returns a mock customer data, the second one takes the input of a customer info.
And in the src/main/java/org/mycompany/Application.java added the new beans.xml file.
Now, it's time to setup the dependency libraries into pom.xml.
And two endpoint will be exposed for testing.
Next part I will take you through how to actually implement the API, expose it on Cloud and manage it.


Spoken language is the genesis of human intellect and becomes the defining characteristic of our species as the mind is built through conversations with significant others. Judgments are made of character, intelligence and potential upon listening to an individuals talk. The most articulate among us are given positions of power within relationships, groups, and organizations. Language in the grasp of a skilled speaker becomes a powerful tool for influence and leadership. It is for such roles in a myriad of communication channels that we endeavor to prepare our students through advising, coursework, training, activities, and modeling ethical behavior. The media extend our domain beyond the immediate range of our voice to the ether. The power of speech and the range of media mandate that we teach our students to transmit only high quality messages.
This program focuses on the theory and practice of communication through multiple avenues of hands-on and discussion-based instruction.
The curriculum provides opportunities for experiential learning through required practicum courses in an on-campus lab setting through TV, Radio, or Multimedia outlets.

FOR ALL YOUR LEGAL ISSUES
"I First consulted Mr. Dalimonte in August 2011. He immediately put me at ease and assured me my legal issues were not trivial or unimportant.On the many visits I had with Mr. Dalimonte or his associates, they treated me like family and always made me feel secure and respected in every aspect of my case.
Thank you so much. I owe so much to him and everyone in his office for all their hard work and kindness."
~ Judy Lewis
"When I became a Senior Citizen, I selected you to rewrite my will. Just as we were completing the new will, problems arose involving my teenage grand-daughter. Between dealing with the police and Eaton County DHS, we often had to rely on Mr. Dalimonte's advice. He was available to us when I'm sure it was inconvenient for him.
He led my grand-daughter through the Eaton County Family Court system where she obtained the status of an 'emancipated minor.' He always treated her with professionalism, the same as any adult client. It was exactly what she needed at the time.
In 2013, I expect to use this office again relating to a sale of property. I would recommend his services to anyone who wants a great lawyer that goes above and beyond the basics and looks out for the individual client."
~Marilynn D.
Lansing,MI
"I would Highly recommend anyone needing legal advice to contact this office.
Everyone in the office was very friendly and helpful. My legal papers were completed in a very timely manner. I will definitely use them again, if I am in need of legal counsel."
~ Kay Juhas
"This office has helped me with problems involving a car dealer, and the lending institution. The cost was reasonable, and the office staff was courteous and and friendly.
I really appreciate his help and everything that was done for me."
~Jack M. Byrd
Grand Ledge, MI
"I am writing this to let you know how much I appreciate what you did for me.
I received a summons and complaint served to me at my home on 03/11/2013. I couldn't believe it; under the circumstances, and who is suing me. I have never been sued before and didn't know what to do.
I called you Tuesday in the morning on 03/19/2013. Mr. Dalimonte was very kind and told me to come into the office; that they would look at the paperwork, and help explain it to me.
I was met with a very nice secretary named Jennifer, and than Elliott Berlin, a studying law student about to take his Bar Exam. I feel Elliott will be a great lawyer, and an asset to any community or law firm.
Elliott let me know that Mr. Dalimonte would not be taking any money from me, and just wanted to help. Elliott Explained, listened, and wrote up an answer for me. He also made me copies and let me know where to file the documents.
Elliott and Mr. Dalimonte also informed me that they would be available for me for any further assistance.
I walked into that office so upset, and feeling defeated. Than I walked out with a smile and a great sense of relief.
Thank you ALL for helping me."
Theresa Lewis
To Attorney Dalimonte:
Dear Sir.
A huge thank you for the superior work and service your law firm did for me and my wife.
I came into your office for a problem I had a few years ago in 2008 of which was solved, I thought!
When I came into your office, your secretary made me feel like a V.I.P.
When my wife and I went into the consultation room to ask you questions, I received 500% more than I expected. Not only that, Mr. Dalimonte won my case, of which was a blessing for my family. He is a dedicated lawyer to all his clients.
As a senior citizen in my seventies, I will not hesitate to tell any of my friends about his law office, or refer them to Attorney Dalimonte.
His service was excellent. His knowledge was far superior than some of the lawyers I had prior. I will, with honor, use his services again.

Artist Inbox: Teafly Peterson
Kyla Becker
Teafly Peterson will accept the Dare to Dream Award for 2010 at the Mirror Pond Galery on May 1.
Teafly Peterson is a woman an artist, teacher, advocate and friend to many Bend locals. She is also a mentor at the Caldera art program – which was featured in our April 7th issue. In an interview recently,
Teafly expressed a deep love for arts and all of the people she works within the community. With all of the work she does with the Caldera kids and the Human Dignity Coalition, Teafly is the big 'heart through art' shoe-in for this year's Dare to Dream 2010 Award.
Teafly was raised in Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts where 30 percent of the population identifies as gay. Upon moving to Central Oregon in 2005, Teafly was taken aback by the beauty of the mountainous landscape. However, in stark contrast to the beautiful scenery was the ugly truth that she was now in an area where direct and violent attacks against homosexuals took place.
Where Teafly came from, people used the tools of dialogue and dignity to resolve their issues – separating sexuality from religion and politics.
From meeting local Bendites, Teafly met people who loved Bend as much as she. Bend locals who felt the same connection to the earth in this amazing place, people who she knew felt the same way she did.
She pondered over why these people didn't say anything about the discrimination that was taking place. Then she realized – they didn't know what to say.
According to the humandignitycoalition.org website, "Teafly has since then put her artistic heart and soul into giving voice to those who have not been heard."
On May 1st at 7pm in the Mirror Pond Gallery, the Human Dignity Coalition will be awarding Teafly with the Dare to Dream Award for 2010, alongside Pizza Mondo and the Deschutes County Health Services Department. When congratulations were extended to Teafly, the Human Dignity Coalition was in full agreement. There is no doubt that they made the right choice.
The Human Dignity Coalition was started in 1992 by a group of concerned Central Oregonians who joined together to campaign against the statewide Ballot Measure 9. The bill was a piece of legislation that discriminated against sexual and gender minorities by proposing an addition to the Oregon Constitution that would disallow Oregon governments to support forms of homosexuality, pedophilia, sadism or masochism and that they must in fact "discourage and avoid" such things.
The ballot was defeated in the November 3, 1992 in a general election with 638,527 votes in favor, 828,290 votes against.
While the ballot measure was defeated statewide, citizens still saw the need for a local human rights group and Human Dignity Coalition was born. Teafly has created art for HDC as well as helped create the queer prom and is currently working on a new project called We Live Here Too in which she photographs the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer (referred to as LGBTQ) and allied community members in their favorite environment.
This project will be on display at the TBD loft above the Poet House during the month of June in honor of Bend Pride.

System and method for heterodyned communication
Abstract: A system and method for protecting a cable modem's receiver from transmitter overload when using a splitter/combiner device in place of a conventional (diplex) filter. Instead of a diplex filter to separate transmit and receive bands, a terminal device can use an isolation device, such as the splitter/combiner, or a circulator. This provides an ability to use a frequency band for either upstream transmissions or downstream reception, but creates a problem of receiver overload when the isolation device has insufficient isolation or a back-reflection occurs. Use of agile local oscillators allows the direction of the signal in the band to change very rapidly. Likewise a receive frequency can by dynamically reassigned by retuning a LO, which may employ direct digital synthesis.

Multi-carrier communication apparatus
Abstract: A local carrier wave output from a synthesizer to quadrature demodulators is multiplied by an offset that makes a frequency shift by an integer number of subcarriers in units of sub-carrier bands. The offset is set to a value obtained by multiplying the number sequentially counted up from 0 to the number of unused sub-carriers included in guard tones in a signal band by the bandwidth of a sub-carrier. By shifting the frequency of the local carrier wave at the time of quadrature demodulation with the offset, the SNR of a baseband signal is prevented from being constantly degraded by a frequency characteristic possessed by the circuit of a receiver in a particular sub-carrier signal. Especially, by preventing a pilot signal from being constantly degraded, the signal can be received with higher accuracy.

Methods and apparatus for performing timing synchronization with base stations
Abstract: A wireless terminal using OFDM signaling supporting both terrestrial and satellite base station connectivity operates using conventional access probe signaling in a first mode of operation to establish a timing synchronized wireless link with a terrestrial base station. In a second mode of operation, used to establish a timing synchronized wireless link with a satellite base station, a slightly modified access protocol is employed. The round trip signaling time and timing ambiguity between a wireless terminal and a satellite base station is substantially greater than with a terrestrial base station. The modified access protocol uses coding of access probe signals to uniquely identify a superslot index within a beaconslot. The modified protocol uses multiple access probes with different timing offsets to further resolve timing ambiguity and allows the satellite base station access monitoring interval to remain small in duration.

Using LO shifting to prevent a local transceiver from interfering with an FM radio
Abstract: A cellular telephone includes cellular telephone circuitry and an FM receiver. An FM signal being received is downconverted by a mixer. The downconverted signal is processed to generate an FM signal that is supplied to a digital IF filter. If a blocker emitted by the cellular telephone circuitry would interfere with receiving of the FM signal due to interaction of an LO harmonic with the blocker if a conventional LO frequency were used, then a different LO frequency is used. Subsequent processing of the downconverted FM signal (for example, by a digital complex conjugate selector and an IF rotator) results in the signal supplied to the digital IF filter having the same center frequency as the digital IF filter despite the use of the different LO frequency. In some embodiments, the LO is shifted by different amounts depending on cellular telephone mode and on the FM signal.

The Mast Store Story
In operation since 1883, the Mast Store has not changed all that much with the times - it still offers the down-home feeling commonly associated with a country general store to both its local regulars and its many visitors from all over the world.
Historic District Away from Urban Clutter
Valle Crucis became the state's first rural historic district in 1990. Within the district boundaries stand many structures important to the development of Watauga Co. and the North Carolina mountains.
Valle Crucis Post Office
Shortly after John and Faye Cooper acquired the store 1979, the Valle Crucis Post Office (located in the corner of the store's front room and complete with antique boxes) re-opened and gave the community back its identity. The identity of many rural communities across the country has been lost when their post office branches were consolidated with surrounding areas. A special agreement was entered into by the Coopers and the U.S. Postal Service for the operation of the Valle Crucis Post Office.
The Coopers Come to the Mountains
John and Faye Cooper left their home and many possessions in St. Petersburg, Fla., to take a chance at saving a mountain landmark. They lived on the third floor of the original store for several years (cramped quarters for a family of four) and performed most of the duties for running the store themselves.
Pot-bellied Stove: Local Hang Out and Tourist Conversation Piece
Early mornings still belong to the locals . . . and second-homers in the area. Conversations over a 5¢ cup of coffee around the pot-bellied stove can range from a new baby in the valley or how the crops are doing to friendly arguments over politics and "the one that got away" and other tall tales. When tourists begin pouring in, the conversation changes to topics like, "I remember my grandfather having this ..." or "I haven't seen these in years."
Mast Supports Local Cottage Industries
Residents in the surrounding area utilize the Mast Store as a venue to market their handiwork. Talents showcased include: bread-making, birdhouse building, general crafts, gout rockers and folk toys.
BRIEF HISTORY:
The Mast General Store began as the Taylor Store in 1883. W. W. Mast bought half interest in the retail establishment in 1897, and in 1913 purchased the remaining half of the enterprise. The store remained in the Mast Family for some 60 years and developed quite a reputation across the mountain region as the store that had everything.
It was sold in the early 1970s to an Atlanta doctor and a professor at Appalachian State University. They owned it until it was purchased in 1979 by John and Faye Cooper, whose efforts have brought new life to this National Historic Landmark. In 1996, the Mast Store became an employee-owned company. With its beginnings in the small, rural community of Valle Crucis, the Mast Store has expanded to include locations in Boone, Waynesville, Hendersonville, and Asheville, North Carolina; Greenville and Columbia, South Carolina; and Knoxville, Tenn. All stores are in buildings that were built between the 1870s and 1945.

The Brothers Karamazov, the final novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, first published as Bratya Karamazovy in 1879–80 and generally considered to be his masterpiece. [135] In a January 1854 letter to the woman who had sent him the New Testament, Dostoevsky wrote that he was a "child of unbelief and doubt up to this moment, and I am certain that I shall remain so to the grave." He speaks with the tone of a prophet. Although he emphasises that he does not intend to publish his notes for the public, the narrator appeals repeatedly to an ill-described audience, whose questions he tries to address. From there, as one of the best students, he was sent to study at the Medical and Surgical Academy in Moscow (after training he became one of the best doctors at the Mariinsky Hospital for the Poor). They mostly lived apart. The novel was a reflection of the growing radical movements among the intelligentsia and the first signs of terrorism. On 15 February 1867 Dostoevsky married Snitkina in Trinity Cathedral, Saint Petersburg. [108], Among Dostoevsky's last words was his quotation of Matthew 3:14–15: "But John forbad him, saying, I have a need to be baptised of thee, and comest thou to me? [14][15] Although his father's approach to education has been described as strict and harsh,[16] Dostoevsky himself reports that his imagination was brought alive by nightly readings by his parents. Polyphony is a literary concept, analogous with musical polyphony, developed by Mikhail Bakhtin on the basis of his analyses of Dostoevsky's works. After him, his son Lev ruled in Viitovtsi (1820–1829). [59] In 1859 he was released from military service because of deteriorating health and was granted permission to return to European Russia, first to Tver, where he met his brother for the first time in ten years, and then to St Petersburg. Maria married Dostoevsky in Semipalatinsk on 7 February 1857, even though she had initially refused his marriage proposal, stating that they were not meant for each other and that his poor financial situation precluded marriage. [157] James Joyce praised Dostoevsky's prose: "... he is the man more than any other who has created modern prose, and intensified it to its present-day pitch. [22][23], Dostoevsky disliked the academy, primarily because of his lack of interest in science, mathematics and military engineering and his preference for drawing and architecture. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest psychological novelists in world literature. "[133], According to an officer at the military academy, Dostoevsky was profoundly religious, followed Orthodox practice, and regularly read the Gospels and Heinrich Zschokke's Die Stunden der Andacht ("Hours of Devotion"), which "preached a sentimental version of Christianity entirely free from dogmatic content and with a strong emphasis on giving Christian love a social application." One of the best-known books by the author, as well as a must-read for all Russian kids at school, this one is truly a classic. One of Dostoevsky's friends, Milyukov, advised him to hire a secretary. [142] His early works viewed society (for example, the differences between poor and rich) through the lens of literary realism and naturalism. In 1809, the 20-year-old Mykhailo Dostoevsky enrolled in Moscow's Imperial Medical-Surgical Academy. Even so, he and his fellow "conspirators" were arrested on 23 April 1849 at the request of Count A. Orlov and Tsar Nicholas I, who feared a revolution like the Decembrist revolt of 1825 in Russia and the Revolutions of 1848 in Europe. Belinsky described it as Russia's first "social novel". Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. She demands everything of other people, all the perfections, and does not pardon the slightest imperfection in the light of other qualities that one may possess", and later stated "I still love her, but I do not want to love her any more. The following year, he took up a post at the Mariinsky Hospital for the poor. In the 1860s, he discovered Pochvennichestvo, a movement similar to Slavophilism in that it rejected Europe's culture and contemporary philosophical movements, such as nihilism and materialism. His most acclaimed works include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). [96][97], On 3 February 1880 Dostoevsky was elected vice-president of the Slavic Benevolent Society, and he was invited to speak at the unveiling of the Pushkin memorial in Moscow. Konstantin Pobedonostsev, future Imperial High Commissioner of the Most Holy Synod, influenced Dostoevsky's political progression to conservatism. [21][15], On 27 September 1837 Dostoevsky's mother died of tuberculosis. In 1856 Dostoevsky sent a letter through Wrangel to General Eduard Totleben, apologising for his activity in several utopian circles. Dostoevsky Reminiscences Robert Geraci, "Islam" in Deborah A. Martinsen & Olga Maiorova (ed.). His extensive explanations in opposition to the transposition of his works into other media were groundbreaking in fidelity criticism. "[121] He maintained that political parties ultimately led to social discord. He met his second love, Polina Suslova, in Paris and lost nearly all his money gambling in Wiesbaden and Baden-Baden. But he spoke about Christ ecstatically." He began to travel around western Europe and developed a gambling addiction, which led to financial hardship. Through his relationship with Belinsky he expanded his knowledge of the philosophy of socialism. They stayed in Berlin and visited the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, where he sought inspiration for his writing. Wrangel said that he was "rather pious, but did not often go to church, and disliked priests, especially the Siberian ones. He declined an invitation to an international congress on copyright in Paris after his son Alyosha had a severe epileptic seizure and died on 16 May. In the second part he describes scenes from his life that are responsible for his failure in personal and professional life and in his love life. In his posthumous collection of sketches A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway stated that in Dostoevsky "there were things believable and not to be believed, but some so true that they changed you as you read them; frailty and madness, wickedness and saintliness, and the insanity of gambling were there to know". The story focuses on poor people who struggle with their lack of self-esteem. Notes from the Underground is a good novel too, great if you're the philosophical type. The Adolescent chronicles the life of Arkady Dolgoruky, the illegitimate child of the landowner Versilov and a peasant mother. Feb 23, 2016 - Dostoevsky Reminiscences [Anna Dostoevsky] on Amazon.com. Dostoevsky's work was delayed when Anna's sister Maria Svatkovskaya died on 1 May 1872, either from typhus or malaria,[86] and Anna developed an abscess on her throat. He finds the novels full of contrived "surprises and complications of plot", which are effective when first read, but on second reading, without the shock and benefit of these surprises, appear loaded with "glorified cliché". The bibliography of Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-81) comprises novels, novellas, short stories, essays and other literary works. Dostoevsky's works of fiction include 15 novels and novellas, 17 short stories, and 5 translations. The family later moved to the apartment where Dostoevsky had written his first works. Dostoevsky served four years of exile with hard labour at a katorga prison camp in Omsk, Siberia, followed by a term of compulsory military service.

Federal Circuit Issues Second Reversal in Favor of a Patent Owner
The Federal Circuit has picked up the pace of issuing actual written opinions regarding PTAB decisions, instead of its previous, steady diet of Rule 36 Judgments. Today, the Court issued its second opinion reversing a Board decision canceling various claims in an inter partes review based on a claim construction issue in Straight Path IP Group, Inc. v. Sipnet EU S.R.O. (Fed. Cir. Nov. 25, 2015). In general, the decision comprises two key parts: 1) a fact-intensive claim construction analysis that turned on the fact that the claim language-at-issue had a plain meaning and the specification was deemed too limited to change that plain meaning; and 2) a warning that the Court will not hear new arguments on appeal.
Claim Construction Analysis: The crux of the claim construction dispute related to a claim limitation that requires "a query as to whether the second process is connected to computer network." (emphasis added). Patent Owner argued that the proper claim construction required a present-tense status. Id. at 6. Petitioner argued, and the Board agreed, that the proper claim construction "simply requires being registered with the server." Id. As characterized by the Court: "what the Board meant was that, to come within the query claim language, all the query from the first unit need do is request whatever the connection server has listed about a second unit's on-line status, even if the listed information is not accurate at the time of the query, i.e., even if it lists the second unit as online when, at the time, it is in fact not online." Id.
The Court's reversal of the Board's decision had two components. First, the Court found that the plain language of the claims undermined the Board's determination. That plain language, "is connected to the computer network" was deemed to plainly seek a determination of whether the unit was connected at that time. Id. at 7. As such, it was unreasonable for the Board to conclude that the subject query was satisfied, regardless of its current accuracy. Id.
Second, the Court faulted the Board for failing to address that "facially clear meaning," and instead turning immediately to the specification; which analysis of the specification was also incorrect. Id. at 8. The Court instructed that, when the claim language has a plain meaning, "the specification plays a more limited role than in the common situation where claim terms are uncertain in meaning in relevant respects." Id. Thus, the Board's analysis, that relied on a single passage from the patent to redefine the claim terms, was inaccurate given that there was no express or implicit redefinition of what "is connected" should mean. Id. at 9.
It is noteworthy that Judge Dyk filed a dissenting opinion, arguing that the majority erred in requiring absolute currency with regard to the real-time limitation of the challenged claims. Instead, Judge Dyk would have relied on the specification, as the Board did, because it is "always highly relevant to the claim construction analysis," per Phillips. Dissent at 2.
New Argument on Appeal: The Court noted that the second challenge by Patent Owner to the Board's decision rested on the Board's failure to construe the term "process." The Court refused to hear that challenge, though, finding that Patent Owner did not preserve the contention. Specifically, Patent Owner failed to request a construction for that term in its Patent Owner Preliminary Response, Patent Owner Response, or at the Oral Hearing. Failing to do so, the Board could not be found to have committed error in failing to construe the limitation.
Thus, this case is a rare win for a Patent Owner at the Federal Circuit, but more importantly more guidance from the Court on the ever-evolving IPR landscape.

Over alls….I have had a love/hate relationship with them over the years in high school I remember getting the "coolest" pair of Silver brand flare overalls they fit like a glove and I wore them all. The. Time then a few years later they were…well so 2001  And here I am again, the last three years running, I'm loving them again. To the point that I have three pairs and two short versions.. the pair I'm wearing are a few yeas old and no longer available. I love that they are a skinny jean version. But I also have a more relaxed boyfriend fit that I also wear often. I love them because I feel like they are the entire outfit. You don't have to fuss so much about what shirt to wear wth them as it doesn't really matter too much. Although you can change up the look a bit. I love to wear them with a bodysuit but also love a cropped too as it makes it a bit "sexier" if that's the look you're going for.
Here are a few of my current favs right now!
These ones are the most similar to the pair I'm wearing. They are tapered and have a distressed vibe. I love the back of these as they are super simple.
This style is super cute and on trend. The culotte cut is a fun take on the classic denim overall. You can dress this up or dress it down with the right shoes!
I LOVE this jumper! No it's not denim but still an overall feel but just a bit more feminine. I'm not loving how Zara styled them…..I would wear these sans shirt or a white tank body suit. Super cute for spring/summer!!
