White Jeans & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up Party!

April 16, 2015
  As a pear-shape, I’ve always stayed away from light colored pants.  But I keep seeing you dolls rocking your white jeans (and it’s the next HIWM challenge) so I figured it was time to step out of my comfort zone and give some white jeans a try!

A few hints if you’re curvy on the bottom too and shopping for white jeans …

Hint #1 Tame your expectations. These will never be your go-to black pants or your flattering dark wash jeans.

Hint #2 Don’t try on anything in a junior store or junior sizes, or very light weight super stretchy fabric. Just trust me.

Hint #3 Prepare to try on a lot of pants that day. Of course if you start where I stopped, you might be luckier. I ended up with The Loft Curvy Straight Leg Jean.
What do you think?

Wore this casual look on a day trip to Carmel with the hubby.

    I guess white pants are all the rage right now. I love Loft's petites. They fit me perfectly. It is so hard to find good petite lines. Ah, Carmel…I love Carmel. We were just in Monterey.

      Monterey and Carmel …heavenly. Were you at the jazz festival? OXOX

    Hope you are feeling better. I do love Loft jeans, they are the right price point and they have different cuts to make the fit perfect for most.

    You look fantastic in your white pants first of all. I love the breezy, light colors here and those slip-on shoes are awesome! I love The Loft. And how cute, you featured other ladies in their white pants.

    Hey I rocked my White Skinny Jeans this week also (check out the post below and let me know what you think). Thanks. I think you will like the looks.

    Oh white pants… I don't think I have the patience to try and find a pair for summer… but I so want them! Of course, if I DID get some they'd probably have chocolate or kid fingerprints all over them in like 2.8 seconds. lol. Your outfit looks lovely and breezy and comfy and fun!

When I was sick, I was bound and determined to not the that DANG CANCER slow me down, but then after I survived all the treatments I had realized my life was so STRESSSSSFULLLL for a year that I had to just STOP all the Spinning Ferris Wheels, Merry Go Rounds and Roller Coasters and just GET OFFFFF! lol

    A tip to add to this: find a good tailor or someone who can alter your shop bought clothes. That's my trick. It makes me despair less and less having to rely on what's on offer. I bought wonderful boyfriend white jeans (which visually do add a stone, yes yes, but I like them) and I had them altered so now they fit absolutely perfect which does makes all the difference. Hav enot done a post on them yet. will do soon! Thanks for hosting, Irmin

  • Reply BAM April 25, 2015 at 7:29 pm

    The jeans look fantastic on you! I guess we're both newcomers to white jeans, eh? You're so brave to wear them with a shorter top. I don't think I can bring myself to do that so I'm going to stick to tunics and longer tops that cover my bum. 🙂 After reviewing my closet, I have several longer tops that will look great with the jeans so I feel like I made a good purchase. Time will tell I guess….
