Turn Your Shadows White

Here the are! The elusive white pants! And I didn't even get them dirty, aren't you proud? Then again...I really didn't inspect the bum area for any marks...

Belt: Target

So these are a pair of Not Your Daughter's Jeans that I bought for $50 off ideeli (they retail for about $98 in department stores), which is one of those members-only designer sale sites. Speak of the devil, there's another Plus Size Perfection sale happening today on ideeli featuring Calvin Klein separates, SEVEN7 and CJ by Cookie Johnson jeans, and gorgeous dresses by Adrianna Papell and Tadashi Shoji.

Back to the jeans - They're stretchy enough that I was comfortable sitting at my desk at work all day in them, but they didn't lose their shape after a day's wear. The waistband of this 16W pair fit perfectly but they were a little roomy in the hip and tummy area. Still, I like how crisp and clean they look so they're keepers. I may do something with the hem though - they're a little to long to wear with anything but heels and I'm really loving the look of cropped skinnies at the moment (as you'll see in tomorrow's ootd!). I may take them to a tailor and get the leg narrowed and cropped.

I love my palette of blues against the white bottoms and the touch of brown of my studded belt and wedges, they match perfectly! These shoes are not winners unfortunately - They're from Forever21 so I should have been wary of the quality but I didn't expect them to be quite as bad as they are - one of the studs has already loosened in the front so I have a feeling they'll be replaced with a better brown wedge quite soon.

What do you think of this outfit? Will you be indulging in the white pant trend for summer?

    I ALMOST bought some white pants the other day....
    I've been regretting that I didn't buy them.
    I think I might go back & see if they're still there!

  3. You do look so extra crisp with your blue and white. I can't splurge on ANYTHING right now, but I certainly would love to try some of those jeans (white or not! sounds like they would be perfect for my size!). White looks gorgeous on you AND...

    Yes, and...

    I want your shoes on my feet.

  5. Oh I am LOVING this look. I need to find some white pants that aren't too tight. I do have a pair in the closet that I need to revist, but I will definitely be rocking this look. Crisp whites are IN for this summer!
