WIW - Linen Pants, White Diana Skinnies

I re-ordered the Diana Kut from the Kloth skinnies a while back and I guess they're actually OK (once I got the right size).

I'm also posting my linen pants, since Angie posted about them today! This is the BB Dakota leather jacket that a couple of other people olso have. It's a good color, but very tight in the sleeves (I'm hoping it will stretch) and the leather is like a chamois and dirties pretty easily. The zipper itself has left teethmarks on the leather in a couple of spots, as well as all along the front. For the most part it is not noticeable, but i am going to take it and get it cleaned and treated (I guess that is where the money I saved on it will go!)

The skinnies! Yay -we are Diana twins.

Love the linen pants, too. And how neat - these outfits are sort of upside down versions of one another! You look beautiful in these soft neutrals.

I LOVE #1. Love, love, love. And I'm so jealous that you can wear that taupe-y color right next to your head, what with your gorgeous dark hair and all : )

I'm not a big linen fan, I'm afraid, so I'll leave it to others to comment on the second outfit. The jacket is fab, tho - I hope you can get the teethmarks out. How annoying.

Unlike Sarah (*waving to Sarah*) I LOVE LOVE LOVE linen so am all over these trousers! And those white skinnies? Fantastic! I love both these outfits on you Jenava.

So perfect for warmer weather - great silhouettes that do seem like "opposites".
Best of luck with the jacket - maybe a soft brush like you use for suede to restore the nap?

You are just lovely in both these neutral outfits. I was surprised by that also, as neutrals don't do me any favours and you seem to have the same coloring.

Can I be so bold as to ask what size you are? You 'seem' to be a little like me in body shape and I want to switch out my white jeans for something else. You can send on private mail

Jayne, I have NO problems stating my size! (-:
I am a size 10 on the bottom and an 8/10 on top. Hourglass with pear tendencies when I am overweight (and I'm a bit overweight these days....sigh). I have "significant" thighs (I'm an X according to inside out style).

Normally in Kut from the Kloth I have to size down to an 8 (and even then they are pretty generous. But with the white Diana's, I had to get my regular size 10. I even have Diana's in a different fabric that are a size 8 and lose!

Wow, Jeneva - you look stellar in these ethereal colors! I love the skinnies and the second look as well.

I love the soft neutral palette on you. The lace top with the skinnies is gorgeous and the entire line of #2 suits you. Sorry about the troubles with the jacket, sounds like a bother, but it does look lovely on so maybe worth it?

Both look great! Im guessing that the jacket sleeves will stretch out a bit if it's real leather -- my new black Michael Kors leather moto jacket has snug sleeves too, but they're easing up a little with each wear.

I'm wondering how it is that our coloring seems so similar, yet you look smashing in those neutral colors that make me look like I'm at death's door!

You really do look heavenly in these neutral colors. I am glad you went for the white skinnies - they look great. Love the second outfit too - I hope the jacket issues work out.

Agreeing with everyone: You look lovely in both of these looks! I love the white skinnies with the lace top, and the linen wide-leg pants with the new jacket looks awesome.

LOVE!

Both outfits are 10's and so very "Jenava". Nice to see you sport necklaces!! (*waving at my necklace twin*)

Hope that getting dressed each morning has become enjoyable again, because I'm certainly enjoying seeing your outfits

Jenava you have such disticnt style and you are a wonderful model. I love seeing you post pictures of what you wore. I admire your style so much. When my daughter Niki met you at our holiday YLF gathering she commented how much she liked you. You just have that certain "it". You always look great.

I am crazy about tonal outfits this season and #1 is making me hyperventilate!

Regarding the BB Dakota jacket, what I notice is the really long sleeves, even in the size S. I have small shoulders and short arms, so this is a common problem for me. I do notice the jacket wears harder than a regular leather jacket but I like that!

Gorgeous outfits Jenava! You look beautiful in this taupe-ish colors.
