I found a wonderful pair of white jeans the other day (thank you shopping gods!) at a new-to-me store called ONLY Jeans (which is in the Place Montreal Trust building, here in Montreal, in case you were wondering) and I have to tell you: they are divine.
They’re a skinny fit, so one needn’t feel all bovine about things. They have some stretch to them, which usually makes for a great fit. I love them already. And I’ll wear them with the excellent metallic belt I recently scored, as soon as I have some new holes punched to make it fit better.
Sadly, Oppressive Summer Swelter has arrived (overnight) and it’s already too hot to wear them, as I did yesterday. Sweat-stains are not very groovy.
But, they’ll be perfect for summer evenings, either dressed up or dressed down, and dare I say, even excellent for yachting. (Note to self: acquire yacht, ASAP.)
Also? I plan to wear them long after Labour Day, so just deal with it.
white skinny jeans – ONLY Jeans, $45
black ruffled sleeveless chemise – Urban Behavior, $10 (I know – I’d hate me too)
black flip-flops – Jacob $7
I think they have more mid-rise stuff… lots of people have the VERY SAME complaint with pants… and who wants a whale tail hanging out the back of her pants anyway? And stretch is the fabric of the gods…
The problem with Gap for me is the low waistline — it always digs into the jiggliest spot on my torso! Not attractive + I keep having to hike them up every 3 or 4 steps! I think this is probably why so many women turn to “mom jeans” post-babies. {shudders} Stretch helps for sure!
Oh, I would love a pair of those too… I think Gap has some good things – have you looked? Seriously, I might just buy another pair of these one (after I wash them and make sure theyre wearing well) and have them hemmed to above the ankle… I tell you, I just might!!
I am on the prowl for ankle length skinny white pants or jeans (you know the ones that make your legs look like cigarettes) to wear with all those fun bohemian tunics…
Heh. I dont allow the children near me while Im wearing them. Its a new rule. I like it.
Thanks mum! I really, really love them. Ill break them out during the 20 degree heat in September/October, I guess!
I bought me some white jeans too and its too hot to wear them! Screech!!
Yours look KILLER.
But seriously, you look sexy in them…of course. I’d have them on for 2 min and Daisy would jump on me and Nixon would drool on me and I’d be a big ol mess. How come you don’t have handprints from those ill mannered small ones on yours yet?
Why do I think youre lying, Alice? I want proof, yo. Go get some jeans… take a pic. Just do it. 😉
Hee! You make me laugh, Princess!! Hahahahahahaaaaa!
LOL at above comment!
They are a tough look to pull off well, but this is working. I, on the other hadn, would look like the StayPuft Marshmallow Man. Not groovy at all.
Now you just need to get some Kotex and a horse. ; )
