Rusty, welcome! Nice to see the Aussie contingent growing rapidly
Yes I will most likely pair cobalt with the white pants. I have one particular blouse that I know will work but will have to have a play with the styling as what I have tried previously didn't make me happy.
Lyn, I did wonder if your pants were from Katies. I think they have improved over the past few years and they do have some suprises. Their ultimate fit range of jeans re amazing and well priced. I actually popped in this morning before work to see if they had the black version of my white ones, they did but not in my size so I may order online.
And thanks all, with your wonderful encouragement, I am now officially over my worry about wearing white jeans.
