Love! I've been wearing mine too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-jeans#post-1201108 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 17:19:24 +0000 shiny 1201108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April - I've always felt constrained &amp; limited because I did not have the perfect white jeans! This opens up all new avenues of outfit possibilities.&nbsp;</p> <p>kkards - I was unsure about the black booties too, but these Fidgi's have a sheen to them which makes them look almost charcoal, rather than black. And in some lights, they can "read" more of an ink blue. Don't think the jeans work as well with my black Impo's which are more of a true black, if that makes sense.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lyn - I love Angie's principle about wearing cold-weather clothes (sweaters, jeans) in&nbsp;spring/summer colors when March rolls around. I do start craving lighter/more cheerful colors right about now, even though the weather is barely cooperating here in Boston. But what is also nice about these particular jeans is that the denim is not so heavy that I couldn't easily wear them in summer, rolled up. Maybe not on a muggy 80 degree day, but Boston summers tend to be on the cool /dry side, and these jeans are perfect for that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie - thanks for the validation on the fit &amp; scrunch! I was hoping for that. Now I will put aside any worries and wear these with confidence. :-)</p> <p>Interesting so many of you like this with the snake bag. My usual M.O. would have been to add red to black + white. But then again, some instinct lately is to aim for more tone-on-tone/less contrast? Not sure why. You could say I'm torn here.&nbsp;</p> <p>The sweater: is NOT the Franny. It's the Giselle:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.clubmonaco.com/product/index.jsp?productId=28640086&amp;cp=12243590.12266442.12454410&amp;ab=ln_women_apparel_sweaters">http://www.clubmonaco.com/prod.....38;ab=ln_w</a></p> <p>I didn't even try on the Franny, as I was looking for something a little less glitzy for the office. That said, I also bought the Evangeline, which does have some metallic threads in it... i.e., it's got a bit of glitz but still seemed appropriate for my office environment:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.clubmonaco.com/product/index.jsp?productId=28640126&amp;cp=12243590.12266442.12454410&amp;ab=ln_women_apparel_sweaters">http://www.clubmonaco.com/prod.....38;ab=ln_w</a></p> <p>The Evangeline looks great with the white jeans as well, but I'm still debating about what shoes go best with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-jeans#post-1201058 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:30:42 +0000 April 1201058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I predict you will wonder how you ever lived without white jeans.</p> <p>They look great on you -- definitely worth the search!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-jeans#post-1201056 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:27:45 +0000 kkards 1201056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the fit of these jeans. they look great with the boots and the sweater. i didn't think i would like a white jean with a dark&nbsp;boots, but its a look i have really come to like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-jeans#post-1201048 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:19:51 +0000 Angie 1201048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit and scrunch of the jeans - forgot to say.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-jeans#post-1201047 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:19:14 +0000 Angie 1201047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>You had me with the white jeans.

Also, your outfit is so inspiring as I always keep my white jeans for summer.&nbsp; I somehow never could do the pairing with a bootie and sweater.

The jeans are a nice bright white, too (at least in the photos) which will make them work really well across seasons for white outs. They are incredibly flattering on you, so you made a good choice. A colored bag would look good, but the snake bag looks great also. All that effort has been successful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-jeans#post-1200969 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 15:17:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1200969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolute perfection!

Glad you found some great white denim, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-jeans#post-1200887 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:58:15 +0000 shiny 1200887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stop the presses, I am wearing white jeans!&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's the TL;DR:</p> <p>Joe's Pennies<br />Club Monaco sweater<br />Fidgi booties<br />MK snakeskin hand bag<br />B&amp;W scarf from Banana Republic</p> <p>Here's the essay, including an over analysis of the&nbsp;white jeans, and my questions/concerns for the forum:&nbsp;</p> <p>This is a big deal because I've been wanting and searching for white jeans ever since I stumbled into YLF 6 years ago. Each spring I try on countless pairs and I'm never satisfied. White jeans seem to be a challenge because the fit needs to be just so --- in my usual denim size, they are too tight and unflattering, but sizing up never seemed to work either, as then the proportions would be all wrong. Even if I found a pair that fit just so, then I'd be confronted with white denim that was too thin ("show through") or too thick and stiff, which I can't stand against my skin. So many requirements!! I had all but&nbsp;given up the search...&nbsp;</p> <p>And then I found these -- Joe's Pennies -- last weekend....</p> <p>They are a 9 inch rise, which is my ideal rise - Hallelujah!!&nbsp;&nbsp;They are meant to be cropped but on me they are full length (28 inch inseam). I tried on my usual size 26 first, and although they were NOT tight in the waistband, and did not feel tight at all, to my eye they looked tight, in that&nbsp;they showed leg dimples/cellulite, if you know what I mean. So I sized up to the 27. At this looser size, no unflattering dimples..... </p> <p>But what do you all think? </p> <p>In the size 27, to my eye,&nbsp;the looser fit almost has a relaxed skinny/Boyfriend look, as the waist is loose enough that I can actually drop the crotch down a bit and belt lower. I.e., even though a 9 inch rise (which comes up to my belly button) I can drop these down and wear as a lower rise. I worry however that the legs then look a little sloppy? These are shown unrolled since it is still too chilly to bare &nbsp;my ankles, but yes, when I roll them to a cropped length, that does seem to smooth out the leg line and look more polished to my eye. They will probably also shrink a bit when I wash them (haven't done that yet).</p> <p>For comparison, somewhere on my computer I must have a picture of my Joe's Niyah ankle skinnies, which are pretty much identical in cut, except that they are dark wash. I have these in size 26 and I love them. I wear them all the time. I guess I am debating whether I did the right thing, sizing up to a 27, for the white jeans, or if I should have stuck with the 26 and assumed they'd stretch out a bit?&nbsp;</p> <p>Regarding the rest of the outfit:&nbsp;</p> <p>The CM sweater - first appearance in a WiW, but&nbsp;I have been wearing this quite a lot. It's incredibly comfortable and DH loves it too. I am so happy with this sweater, especially because it meets all my requirements for work/travel. (Packability, polish, warmth for chilly conference rooms, will span multiple seasons, comfortable/cozy, covers up inevitable bloating belly, works with all sorts of bottoms).&nbsp;</p> <p>Handbag choice - in retrospect, should've swapped out the bag for my cranberry red satchel to add a pop of color (?), but I haven't had time to switch so I have been building outfits around&nbsp;this snakeskin bag all week.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
