I've given up on summer coming back again so I'm just going to pretend from here on in. Starting with getting my white jeans out on the nicest day this week..let's not talk about the other 6! I got these jeans in H&M a few years back and whatever material they are, they have kept their colour really well. I seem to remember they were only £14.99.
Jeans - H&M (past season - similar
here &
here)
Green Wedges - White Stuff
I kept the rest of the outfit simple, wearing my F&F at Tesco navy top - best buy for sure. It washes and dries like a dream and is so easy to wear. I can't find the exact top online but the one I've linked to above is very similar.
Feeling the need for a bit of colour, I added in the White Stuff wedges that my sister in law gave me recently. They come up really small - hence I ended up with them. She's almost a full size smaller than me so these are just a 5...but fit my size 6 foot perfectly. I can't find these online to link to.
I wondered how much I'd wear green shoes but they're surprisingly neutral and the shape is very flattering on the foot...even if the queen isn't a fan of wedges :)
Necklace-wise, I wore this one from the shop first...
And then I thought 'sod it - let's get the big guns out' as the green in this amazing statement necklace is closer to the green of the shoes. This one is also from my shop but it's out of stock at the moment. I love how it shows the colour of whatever top I wear through the holes in the design and I know it will work really well at choir with my yellow and black uniform. I don't have any left in the shop but can order them in my next delivery at the end of August. It retails at £15.
So tell me, have you had the white jeans out yet? I'd forgotten how nice and fresh they are to wear and how they 'summer' up your look so easily without having to bare too much skin. Yes, they do get grubby after one day's wear but as long as that doesn't bother you too much, they make a nice change from denim. Do buy a good quality slightly thicker denim though and remember to check the rear view before wearing to make sure there's no VPL!
Hope you're having a good weekend. Tomorrow's to be a wash-out here in Belfast so we've booked to go see 'Inside Out' - can't wait!

You can't beat getting the white jeans out can you Avril.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping summer puts in another appearance soon, in the meantime enjoy the cinema.

Oh I hope so too Jane! Cinema was great, thanks....nice way to spend a rainy morning. Hope you've had a lovely weekend x
DeleteLove white jeans and navy together. I was looking at that necklace in your shop just yesterday, Now I've seen how gorgeous it looks worn, I will definitely be ordering when they are back in stock. I bought the gold leaf necklace and the harlequin scarf recently and I love them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Georgina - so glad to hear you love the scarf & necklace you ordered. you chose well!! Both are my favourites and both are sold out too! I'll be sure to mention on here once that necklace is back in stock. Avril x
DeleteI love white jeans. This is such a great look and the green wedges really finish the outfit. Perfect,mAvril! Lynne xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lynne - loving your new tops on the blog...and the fact that we are 'top twins' with that coral M&S one! x
DeleteI live in white jeans and probably have as many as I have denim. From an eRly age, the kids know not to come near me when I'm wearing them lol. Love love love your necklace Avril x
ReplyDeleteHaha - I've clearly not trained my kids in the white jeans avoidance technique...you need to give me some pointers :) x
DeleteI had my white strides on just yesterday....though it was the first time I've worn them in a while! I agree we just have to get on and wear even if the weather isn't playing ball! Love how your necklaces bring the whole look together....just gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle - hope the weather is a bit better over with you! Ax
DeleteI only wore mine for the first time this week. I'm like you ... so fed up with the weather, but have decided to 'summer up' my wardrobe now by wearing brighter colours. Roll on autumn :(
ReplyDeleteNeed to get myself some white jeans for the summer! Love the colour pop with shoes and necklace. Jane x
