Blanc!

Ok white jeans-I think you either love them or you hate them....... I was definitely one that hated them. Every time I tried on a pair - and trust me I have tried on every style, every brand, cut, size, fit etc, but I couldn't get past something in my mind telling me they didn't look good on me. Do you feel this way about white jeans too? I have a dear friend, and she loves them, and every time I see her in them I think - she looks so cute and good.

Well, I think I have found the pair that turned me around: these super stretchy beauties from Frame Denim. Key word - STRETCH. I actually had to go down a size because they stretch so much=very forgiving and flattering! On top of the stretch, these adorable buttons that lead the eye towards the waist help to elongate everything, and honestly makes you feel fabulous in them.

So yes I took the plunge and I bought them, and actually wore them! (instead of just leaving them in my closet and having them "stare me down" every time I opened my closet). I don't follow the white before/after Labor Day rule. It is true that I won't wear white linen pants in winter (gasp!), as I think linen fabric itself is too light and breezy for winter, but I feel like jeans, a white light wool or a white/cream light tweed trouser is perfect in the colder months. My FrameDenim jeans hug the waist and also fit at the natural waist, so again the eye moves upward and really does a nice job of flattering.

The sweater is adorable and so cozy. I tied the ties a bit tighter to give the feel of a heavy scarf around my neck. The edges on the sleeves and bottom are a bit rough, which gives the sweater an edgier feel. Tucked in and then bloused out, it helped to balance out the streamlined look of the skinnies.

I coupled the shoes and bag in the same brown hues as the sweater to give it a relaxed, put together look. The texture of the bag is amazing, and made by a local gal here in town. We ladies need to support and raise up other ladies-its so important. Dont you think?

I found these Vince booties on sale and they are so comfortable, a bit retro and have a nice low heel so they can be worn all day long. The camel brown is a great tone-and I'm thrilled I bought them as well. I think they will also make a great travel shoe.

Enjoy the day ladies.
