WIW: Blouse and Bootcuts; Jeans Complement Musings

Good Morning! Today's outfit is super simple - my floral print blouse from Express, bootcut jeans, flats and a silver belt.

I am only a week or so into our three or so weeks of casual dress at work and I am already finding it hard to make 7 fab jeans outfits every week! At first I was surprised because I have 9 pairs of jeans:

(#3, from L-R, Top-Bottom)
-Joe Fresh White Bootcuts
-Silver Suki Capris (BF Jeans)
-Silver Aiko Skinny Jeans (Faves!!)
-Guess Houndstooth Skinny Jeans
-AE Bootcuts, Looser Fit w/some distressing
-RW&Co Dark Wash Trouser Jeans
-RW&Co Lace Print Coated Jeans (Fancy Pants!)
-AE Bootcuts, Slimmer Fit and Dark Wash
Not Pictured: Guess Bootcuts, well-worn and a bit too big

When I broke it down? It's too cold for the capris. The coated denim I reserve for social/evening occasions, and the Guess bootcuts are super casual. That leaves 6 pairs, which is still lots. Except that I find the houndstooth skinnies and white bootcuts difficult to style. So I guess I wear the same 4 pairs of jeans of the 9 I have over and over. I'll have to give some thought to the white and printed pairs and see if I can't come up with a couple of fab looks between now and the beginning of December.

I am sorely tempted to dupe my fave skinnies, but I feel like if I did the rest of my jeans would be worn even less than they already are. And that would be an excessive-feeling 10 pairs of jeans. What would you do?

Do the houndstooth jeans fit in your boots? I think that would look good.

You look nice today!

Your outfit is fabulous!

I'm betting you can find some great ways to style your white jeans - mine are super versatile.

you look great.
now, why don't you take your 'fancy pants' out for a spin at work? don't save the nice stuff. and i agree with ami, you should be able to make the white jeans work. i would love to be able to wear mine to work, i have so many sweaters they would look great with.

I might try the houndstooth skinnies with either boots (any height) or flats, topped off with a cozy, oversized sweater.

You look good. I'd treat the houndstooth as a neutral they might even look good with the top you're wear today (a bit of pattern mixing). Your white should go with just about anything. Are your Guess boot cuts too big and old that you need to replace? If so than go for the duplicates of what you love.

White bootcuts can be tricky, especially if you're going into winter now; skinnies can be tucked into boots and worn without the hems dragging so those are a bit more versatile in wet weather. I'd definitely come up with some outfits for the houndstooth, those are really fun! Maybe a bright sweater and booties, or a crisp button up with tall boots and a pretty printed scarf, or some pattern mixing with a printed top and a blazer. I'd either purge or set aside the larger boot cut jeans so you've got less clutter when you look at your jeans. There's also the option of using the capri BF jeans with tall boots, either tucked into the boots or rolled up over the tops. I'd also be inclined to wear the coated denim casually; pop on some casual flats, a leather jacket and a big fluffy scarf
