And I'm so glad you pulled out the white jeans again. This is absolutely your perfect summer look. White on white is superb with your beautiful hair and I also love the cream vest to break it up.&nbsp;<br /><br />I understand about the boot cut ennui. I'd do what Inge suggests and make them into straight legs. And I would also do as Deborah suggests and order a pair from her source. Because honestly, you should be wearing white jeans as often as you possibly can.&nbsp;<br /><br />What are your winters like? Angie has taught me it is possible to wear white jeans in winter. I never would have before. I have to admit I did not wear them often in my winter because filthy slush is just not a good look with white and even if you tuck them into boots it is inevitable. But I have worn them a lot more than I expected in the autumn. I liked them with a blue denim shirt; you would look fabulous in similar.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-906425 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 00:08:41 +0000 Aida 906425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well as a member of Team White I think this is definitely not too much white, especially when you look gorgeous in it as you do. The fluid vest looks fab, too; I really dig the mix of the cream with the stark whites. I was going to suggest the same as Inge, perhaps it'd be worth altering the bootcuts into straight legs. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905898 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:16:08 +0000 Deborah 905898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is them...</p> <p><a href="http://www.katies.com.au/KATIES-STRAIGHT-COLOURED-ULTIMATE-JEANS-.aspx?p2032474&#038;cr=jbfg__101246" rel="nofollow">http://www.katies.com.au/KATIE.....fg__101246</a></p> <p>You can order on line. They are the Ultimate Jeans and have a great wide waist band that in my case slims and firms my tummy. </p> <p>Mine are a size 8! I have put weight on around my mid section since i bought them but they do arill fit lol, but a 10 would probably be perfect. i am generally a 12, So I recommend sizing down from your normal size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905896 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:14:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 905896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lantana - it so nice to see you post again. I missed seeing your beautiful self :)<br /><br />All white is fabulous on you - with your lovely complexion and gorgeous hair, it just&nbsp;<i>sings</i> on you.<br /><br />I like Inge's suggestion of having your jeans tailored into straight legs. You know they fit you beautifully and this will likely be less expensive than a new pair. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905891 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:11:23 +0000 Jaime 905891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Absolutely gorgeous and your white hair is truly your crowning glory! Please don't banish these white jeans without replacing them - they look wonderful on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905883 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:41:51 +0000 Anonymous 905883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF in white, especially with your beautiful hair. The ecru vest is perfect with white and for that third piece in hot weather. I want one! </p> your sandals are cute too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905862 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:46:28 +0000 Anonymous 905862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look amazing! I love how the ecru vest accentuates the white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905861 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:45:34 +0000 Lantana 905861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah.<br /> I will try Katies too when I go to town, there's none nearer. It's a 5 hour round trip so I only go every 6 weeks or so. It's basically a frantic relly run and hard to fit shopping in, which is why I shop online mainly. But knowing what I'm looking for will be a great help. I hope things have improved for your MIL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905854 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:36:43 +0000 Lantana 905854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it's good to get those affirmations on white. I really did wonder if I was overdoing it.<br /> Dlb, I have had a quick look at Sussan online, struck out there but I will have a look when next I go to the city. You're spot on, I want fabric with a nice bit of weight to it, much more forgiving.<br /> Carolbee, your words are music to my ears. I have several thousand seedlings in my reveg project that are desperate for rain.<br /> Caro, thank you, it looks as though we have similar hair colouring. Mine is white from - originally - very dark brown. And yours?<br /> Rute, your total white look is superlatively yummy.<br /> Lyn, yes, I have some other pieces that I can use to reiterate this theme. I hadn't thought of white skinnies so thank you.<br /> Inge, thank you for your sweet words and eminently sensible suggestion. I think that's what I'll do. Silly of me not to have thought of retailoring them.<br /> Thank you all, kind ladies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905851 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:18:44 +0000 Deborah 905851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning look Lantana! And I hear you about adding a third piece:). Have u tried Katies? I bought straight leg white jeans from them last year. Nice slim leg and good fit. Fabric has stretch and I think they are a standard jean they do each year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905849 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:15:38 +0000 Inge 905849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ (Thank you so much for the amazing compliment, Una and Lantana, I'm seriously blushing now!)<br /><br />Lantana, you look fantastic in this white on white outfit. It's so stunning with your beautiful hair, plus the ecru vest and shoes add extra depth to the optic white.<br /><br />I completely understand that you are sick of the jeans by now, but we certainly aren't sick yet of seeing you rock them:-)<br /><br />Suggestion: I've had my black and my white bootcut jeans tailored into straight legs (a very easy alteration), because I just wasn't wearing them anymore. It has made a world of difference, I can honestly say this has saved them from the orphan pile. Now they feel "fresh" again, and I'm eager to try out new outfit combinations with them. Perhaps you could consider doing this with these jeans as well?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905833 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:55:57 +0000 lyn67 905833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, You and Rute are on the same fab look today! Love yours with the bootcuts, too!! Straight leg will be another option. Or skinnies, with more a tunics? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905827 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:43:56 +0000 rute 905827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous! I have a total white look today too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905824 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:25:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 905824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YLF. Your hair looks great with the white.<br />No help with the jeans I'm afraid - my two pairs are last &nbsp;years &amp; the year before. I couldn't find any this year. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905821 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:13:47 +0000 carolbee 905821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks lovely, and cool on yet another warm autumn day. &nbsp;You might be lucky and get some rain soon, we've had rain all day in south-west WA. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905808 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 06:49:25 +0000 dlb1960 905808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this outfit! Love how you've broken up the white just a little with the ecru vest....... I'm an Aussie and I got some great fitting straight leg white jeans at Sussan earlier this year. They are a good weight and cut and hide all the bad bits. You might be lucky enough to get them on sale!<br /> Ps. Your hair is fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905806 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 06:31:42 +0000 Lantana 905806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Alaska Girl, you have given me a huge compliment. I admire Inge's style tremendously. She is one of my (many) YLF inspirators. ( I think I just made that word up)&nbsp; Thankyou.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905803 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 06:24:33 +0000 catgirl 905803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! You look like Inge with your picture and like a regal Jedi dame. White loves you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-on-white-1#post-905798 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 06:16:13 +0000 Lantana 905798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It was a warm autumn day here at 31*C (88*F) so I rolled out these old white jeans - AGAIN.<br />I thought I was finished with them. I am sick of them, you see, but it is proving more difficult than I thought to send them to the Siberia of the workwear drawer.<br />Earlier today I posted that my white jeans outfit&nbsp; for&nbsp; the PPC was their farewell outing.<br />After which I toddled off to my wardrobe, scanned the ranks and thought, 'oh, white jeans, perfect for today.'<br /><br />So here I am in white on white, in an outfit I could have posted for Star Wars in the PPC:<br />ecru cotton vest &nbsp; - LE Canvas, DIY re-styled <br />white jeans - lands End<br />cotton top - made by me<br />mabe pearl ring - thankyou Santa!<br /><br />I was very happy with the vest because it is quite fluid; I love that it moves when I'm walking. And I like to have a third piece to an outfit.<br />What do you think?<br />Too&nbsp; much white?<br /><br />I am really tired of the bootcut fit and would appreciate suggestions for replacement white jeans. Any store that ships to Australia is OK but my budget is small.<br /><br />Thanks for looking.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
