Happy Monday, y’all!  I hope everybody had a great weekend.  We headed to the ranch on Saturday morning and decided to stay thru until this morning, so we are headed home today.  The weather was literal perfection and we enjoyed lots of outdoor time (pictures to follow on Wednesday).

Today’s post is ALL ABOUT JEANS!

Several weeks ago I did a Denim Shorts Review, and it was a big hit with y’all.

Today I’m highlighting 3 pairs of great jeans that could pretty much be the only 3 pairs of jeans you need all spring and summer long.  They are different colors, different styles, give off totally different vibes, and I absolutely love all 3 of them.

FIRST PAIR OF JEANS

These jeans are the most on trend of all 3, and I’m telling you, they just make me feel cool.  More on the jeans in a second.

This blouse was the jumping off point for the entire outfit.  It’s a great crisp cotton and somehow manages to be both slouchy and tailored.  I love the modern fit.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small, and it’s still quite oversized.  I would suggest sizing down.

These earrings coordinate beautifully with the necklace, without being matchy matchy.  They both have the little spike charms, but the earrings also have the bright orange charm as well.  SO CUTE!

Okay, let’s talk jeans.

I’m a huge fan of these jeans.  I think THEY’RE AWESOME. They are straight legged, cropped, and minimally distressed. They are a great way to ease into the non skinny jean trend without having to go full on mom jeans. Listen, I’ve tried several pairs of mom jeans, and they are NOT for me.

For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size 27.  They do have a bit of stretch in them and are forgiving, so if you are often between sizes, size down.

I highly recommend these jeans.

blouse / bracelet /straight legged jeans / sandals

These slide sandals are cushy and comfy.  They come in 5 total colors including beige, blush, tangerine, and yellow.  I’ve noticed that a lot of the new sandal styles have really thick and chunky crossover straps, but many of them are too clunky for me.  These are just right!  True to size for me.

I really like how the entire outfit came together.

SECOND PAIR OF JEANS

This outfit is one that you might as well just plan on seeing me in on repeat.

I love this gathered sleeve sweatshirt so much.  The green sold out over the weekend, but there are other colors available, and I’ve already ordered the “pink powder”.  It’s such a light and pretty shade of pink, and I’m thrilled that I’m going to have 2 in my closet.

This sweatshirt is oversized (I like it that way), lightweight, very soft, and just plain cute.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

These braided hoop earrings are FABULOUS.  They are BIG and make quite a statement, but they are super lightweight.  The colors are vibrant and so much fun.  Pink, coral and yellow combine together….and there’s even a pearl!  They are so so pretty.

This bracelet is one I’ve had for years and years, and I continue to wear it all the time.  It’s a perfect classic.

Okay, these raw hem jeans.

I know y’all aren’t going to be surprised, but I’ve got another pair of super stretchy and super comfy Wit and Wisdom jeans for y’all today!  As you know, Wit and Wisdom is the brand I reach for most frequently and because of this they account for 2 out of the 3 jeans in today’s post.

These have the Ab Solution power mesh technology that I pretty much swear by.  I’m telling you they suck you in and are incredibly flattering, but they still somehow manage to remain super comfy.  The power mesh technology is nothing short of amazing.  These jeans will make you look and feel awesome!  For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size 4.

And look how cute the hem is on these jeans!  They are frayed and it’s a pretty dramatic step hem, which makes them very unique and extra DARLING.

I’ve worn this sweatshirt several times already, and it looks great styled with my white jeans, my denim shorts, and my white denim shorts too.  It’s going to be getting a lot of wear time for sure.

THIRD PAIR OF JEANS

I built this final outfit around my white jeans, and I went with an all neutral palette.

Let’s talk about the jeans first.

As I shared when I first showed y’all these last month, when I went to grab the link for these jeans I realized they are actually called “ankle skinny pants”.  However, I totally think of them as just super soft and awesome white jeans.  Now that I see that they aren’t called jeans, I get it, because they are SO DANG SOFT and stretchy….but I really do think of them as jeans and will style them like they are jeans.  They are  53% cotton, 29% polyester, 15% rayon, and 3% spandex.  I think there must be at least 5% unicorn dust in them too because they’re just that good.

These jeans are really stretchy, very slimming, and incredibly comfortable.  I love the white button and the little side slits at the ankle.  They aren’t see thru, but I of course still recommend wearing nude undies.  They actually come in 8 colors, and I predict that some of you will like the fit and comfort so much that you will end up ordering them in at least 1 more color.

Now, full disclosure, you can see the pockets in them just a bit. This is usually a deal breaker for me with white jeans, but for some reason it’s not for me with these jeans.  I’ve decided that I actually prefer to see the pockets a bit over having white jeans with fake pockets.  I really don’t like fake pockets.  If they bother you, a quick trip to a tailor could fix this if you just ask them to hem the pockets shorter, but they don’t bother me enough to warrant the alteration.

Let’s talk sizing.  I normally size up in white jeans and go for a size 6.  The size 4 in these are perfect for me, which is my regular size in regular denim, so that makes sizing a bit confusing.  Size 4 is my normal size, but I often order a 6 in white jeans, and the size 4 is perfect for me in these.  To sum it up, these do run a bit big, so you might consider sizing down from the size you normally get in white jeans.

linen blend tee / long line cardigan / sunglasses / beaded hoop earrings / layered necklace / bag / bandana / white jeans / wedges

The linen blend tee is called “faded earth”, and it’s a really pretty light terracotta color.  It’s much more generously cut than the normal v neck Madewell tees that I wear, and I really like the super relaxed look.

It pairs so nicely with the neutral cardi and the white jeans.

I’m in love with this layered necklace.  It comes in both silver and gold and it’s a little bit edgy with the spikes.

How fun is this bag!

It’s a slouchy faux leather hobo with a great relaxed feel.  The color is a really light cognac that is perfect for Spring and Summer, and I think it’s fun that its a different silhouette than any other bag I own.

These neutral wedges are almost sold out, but they also come in white and a fun clear option that both have better stock.

These wedges are fabulous. The wedge is braided, there’s little white stitching details, they’ve got a great square toe, and they are a perfect neutral. The strap has a bit of stretch to it, so you can actually pull them off and on without having to mess with the buckle (which I totally appreciate). I love not having to buckle them each time I put them on.

They are on the narrow side, so if you have wide feet, these might not be for you. For size reference, I would suggest sizing up a 1/2.

What do you think of the all neutral look?
