And I tell ya’ what. That was no small feat, but I did it!
And I successfully cranked out today’s white jeans post. WooHoo!
But…before we get to it….
I went to spend just a bit of time on the Facebook issues I’m having since lots of you confirmed that you are no longer seeing me in your feed on a regular basis.
Apparently, it has something to do with Facebook’s algorithms WHATEVER THE HECK
THAT MEANS.
I got so many hints and tips from lots of you (thank you!) and I think the easiest thing to do is just go to my facebook page HERE and either click on or hover over my “LIKE” button.
Then make sure you check “Get Notifications“.
You can also check “Add to Interests Lists” and then name your list whatever you like.
I’ve also heard from several sources that being “active” on a blog’s facebook page will make it more likely for you to get the posts in your feed. So just make sure you at least “like” a post every once in awhile to stay engaged!
If you want to read more about this topic, click HERE to read Jo-Lynne’s take on it and screen shots with instructions over at Musings Of A Housewife.
I hope that helps some of you!
OKAY! It’s WHITE JEAN TIME BABY!!!
Today you’re going to get to see lots of white jean love including a new Pinterest Told Me To outfit recreation, some of my past white jeans outfits, a Pinterest Collage that will make you want to wear nothing but white jeans for the rest of your life, and some great choices
for white jeans to add to your closet.
First up, my official white jeans Pinterest collage.
These girls will convince you that you need at least 1 pair of white jeans in your closet.
Like yesterday.

Convinced of your NEED for white jeans yet? Good!
Need a little more convincing? No Problem!
I decided to recreate one of the above outfits in true Pinterest Told Me To fashion!
Can you guess which one?
Yep, my girl Gwyneth!
I NEVER would have thought to pair my military jacket with my white jeans…
Cute, right?
And soooooooo simple!
I even took a cue from Gwyneth and layered a black cami under my grey tank!
Sources:
black cami HERE (best camis ever) / grey tank HERE
long metal bar necklace HERE c/o Sole Society
I’m thinking this is a great option for those of you that love the Stella and Dot Kimberly necklace, but don’t want to spend the money!
It’s a great long brass necklace that gives the same effect for like 1/3 of the price!
neutral tote HERE c/o Sole Society
Can you tell that I’m totally into totes lately?
white distressed boyfriend jeans HERE that are 40% OFF TODAY with the code TREAT
(And when ordering from LOFT, I often try to get to the $125 minimum to qualify for the free shipping. Just a tip.)
Make sure you size down in these jeans. I got a size 25/0, and I am NOT a size zero.
military jacket HERE
MUST HAVE wedges HERE
You can also click on the piece you like in the picture below!
Click around! It’s fun!
ALSO…..FOR A LITTLE EXTRA FUN…..I HAVE A DISCOUNT CODE FOR SOLE SOCIETY!
20% OFF first purchase of $75 or more. Expires 4/25/14. Code: PTMT20
What do you think?
I’ve got lots of questions.
Would you have ever put this outfit together on your own?
Are you willing to do it now after seeing it?
Do you already have THIS military jacket? Because you should.
And are you loving the necklace and tote? These are the first items I’ve ever owned from Sole Society, and it’s a fun (and very reasonable!) little shop. I thought it was just shoes, but they also have super affordable bags and jewelry!
And now for a couple of past recreations. I recreated this outfit from Kendi and loved the orange and mint with the white. This was one of my first 5 outfits on the blog, and I still love it!
It might have even been one of my first 3.

And here’s another one of my first outfits that was posted within the first several weeks of me starting the blog.
A classic pairing of denim with white.
Simple and perfect.
I like the look of my shirt a lot, but it’s a little heavier than I would like for spring and summer wear.
We’ll talk about THIS one from Nordstrom in a minute
(Inspiration photo pinned, but original source not found.)
I highlighted THIS shirt several weeks ago.
Several of you girls got it, and I’ve received a handful of e-mails about your love for it!
The common themes in the e-mails are that it is a great color, very soft, and very flattering!
This is a great shirt. Click HERE.
AND NOW!!!!!!
WHITE JEAN OPTIONS FOR EVERYBODY!!!!
I’ve had white jeans in my closet for years and years and years, and
until I started this blog I didn’t know there were people who didn’t
have white jeans in their closet!
But now I know.
IT SEEMS AS IF PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF THE WHITE JEAN.
I HAD NO IDEA.
No need to be scared ladies!
I really tried to find and try all of these on in store, but I had almost ZERO luck. The stock is much better online, and even if they had the style, they wouldn’t have my size.
#bloggerfail
Still, reading the reviews should help you decide!
FIRST UP, NORDSTROM PICKS!
c) kut from the kloth bootcut jeans HERE
d) paige jeans with nude heels HERE
Click HERE for these white Two by Vince Camuto skinny jeans that I did find in stock.
I recommend sizing down in these. I was wearing a size 26/2.
I really liked these a lot. I felt like the pockets didn’t show much at all, they were stretchy (which I loved), and they were a good thickness (not see thru at all, but not too stiff and thick).
Click HERE for a great white skinny jean.
AND NOW SOME FABULOUS OPTIONS FROM LOFT!
Before we get to the jeans….first thing you need to know here, EVERYTHING is 40% OFF today at LOFT!
Use the code TREAT.
Click HERE to shop everything.
Click HERE to shop their fab shorts (the 4″ are my favs).
Here I am in the 4 inch shorts (remember they also have 6″ and 8″!). They are my very favorite shorts ever. I’ve bought a pair every year for the last 3 years.
Click HERE.
{FYI: some of my favorite LOFT items right now can be found HERE and HERE. And click HERE to see all of their darling swimsuits and cover-ups! When EVERYTHING is 40% OFF, you might as well take a look around.}
Now, you know that the jeans on the left in the collage below are the ones that
I added to my closet this year.
I have a pair of white boot cut jeans from like 5 years ago that I still love, and I have a pair of white skinny jeans from 2 years ago that I love, so I thought adding a pair of boyfriend jeans was a good direction to go, AND I AM LOVING THEM.
a) loft boyfriend jeans (MY JEANS THAT I LOVE!) HERE on left
These run large, so order a size down. I got the 25/0. And I’m NOT typically a zero.
b) loft modern straight leg jeans HERE with TONS OF FABULOUS REVIEWS in middle
c) loft ankle zip jeans HERE with GREAT REVIEWS on right
ALL white jean options from LOFT HERE (maternity options included)!
And if you want to see the boyfriend jeans again on me, I was wearing them in Monday’s post (found HERE). I totally dig the fit and I’m in to the distressing (as you know).
I will be throwing THESE babies on with bright colored tanks and tees all spring and summer long. And I can’t even begin to estimate how often I’ll be wearing my MUST HAVE denim jacket with them (jacket options found HERE).
And while we’re talking about white LOFT jeans, we should talk about THESE .
WHITE. CUT-OFFS. SCALLOPED.
‘NUFF SAID.
Click HERE.
Thank you to Stacy who brought these shorts to my attention yesterday!
Remember these are 40% OFF TOO! BECAUSE EH-VUR-EE-THING is ON SALE!
Anthropologie also has some white AG jeans that I’ve heard phenomenal things about. They are priced like a designer jean, but people who wear them say they’ll never buy anything else!
Click HERE for Anthro’s white jeans.
And click HERE for all white jeans from GAP.
Oh…..and don’t forget…..
THESE are on sale for 33% OFF and would look great with white jeans!
And there are 4 color
options, including a black and cognac pair, I just happened to really
like this light color combo of the camel and bone.
Something about the light color combo was just different and fresh!
I didn’t know if I was going to love the thick strap across the top…but once I put them on, I did!
It made them unique, and they were quite comfortable.
Click HERE for all the other colors. I think I love the taupe the most.
And you know I mentioned bright colorful t-shirts earlier?
Well, click HERE for this fantastic option.
It’s loose fitting, it’s high low, it’s got a great neckline, and it just looks “easy”!
And do you remember THESE?
They are SCREAMING to be paired with white jeans and one of the above brightly colored tees!
And they are only $39.95!
So…………….
DO YOU BELIEVE ME?
DO YOU FEEL A TUG FOR WHITE JEANS NOW?!?
I’m curious to know….
*have you always been a white jeans person?
*have you been recently convinced of the versatility of a great pair of white jeans?
*are you still against white jeans?
SOUND OFF IN THE COMMENTS!

Your re-creation of Gwyneth's look is nothing short of fabulous!
vanillafrog says
I haven't worn white jeans since my pair of Bongos in 7th grade! Just doesn't seen to fit in my life with a three year old son and teaching 5th grade. Your post showed a lot of good ideas, but I'm still not convinced!
Robin Firestone says
I love white jeans, but it is always so hard to find a ones that are not too shear! I have a pair of white Levi boot cut that I love and this year I want to add either a straight or skinny pair! Thanks for all the good choices!!!
Jill G says
I recently bought my first pair of white jeans! Love this post with all of the styling options and especially the Gwyneth recreation!

karate nurse says
I own the Loft Boyfriend jeans from several years ago (sadly no distressing) and still LOVE them! I also have a pair from Chico's and WHBM and adore them as well. My husband is like "Why do you need so many pairs of WHITE jeans?" But they are all different and I love them all! They are perfect for Spring/Summer and just add a crispness and brightness to any outfit!
Beth Ann says
Oh white jeans…I have two pairs in my closet. One capri pair and another boot cut. I've never worn either. The capris are just a bad fit all the way around – I really should just get rid of them! The boot cut are good, but need to be hemmed. After seeing this, I should get on top of that ASAP!!
Sabrina says
Love all of your choices!!!! I need some white jeans!
Kelly says
LOVE my white jeans! Both pairs are from Gap (one skinny and one boot cut). I want to go to loft and try on the distressed!
Tab & Erika says
I'm loving your boyfriend style white jeans!!! Maybe we can just share those? haha!
Christie says
I wore my white jeans all this winter. Love them.
Anonymous says
Love those cute cognac and white wedges! I have the modern straight white jeans from loft as well as a pair of white denim capris…love them both! The modern straight is a great fit!
I have on gray w/ coral today! Love the look…
Thanks!

I've ordered the jeans in two sizes and hope they look as cute on me as they do on you. Your ADORABLE!!!
Shawnee says
I've never owned a pair of white jeans but you convinced me to get some…..ordered the boyfriend ones from Loft! 🙂 Wishing I had ordered some of the colored shorts too but just wasn't sure on the size.
Elaine Welte says
You're entirely too convincing! Must order white jeans. Now.
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
You look great in those jeans…but you always do. I'm crazy, like cah-razy, for the white jean, chambray shirt, red necklace combo!! i'll be recycling that SOON! And thanks for the tip about getting free shipping!! I hate paying shipping!
Lindsey says
love love love white jeans and now I love them even more!
Jamie W. Sybert says
I have always been a white jean person and have a pair of boot-cut white jeans I adore. I have been on the hunt for white skinnies for a few months and I can't wait to check out your options!!
Unknown says
I would love a pair of white jeans… I have a very busy 18 month old who loves dirt and all things boy… I might have to order a pair to wear only when he can't get close to them. Maybe girls night out and I'll change in the garage on the way out the door?!?
Liz/ says
The white jeans with the military jacket is perfection…..I never would have thought to pair that combo together but I love it! I do have a pair of white jeans that I haven't wore in a good forever but this post made me rethink the white jeans and maybe I will just bust them out!!!
Deena Simair says
White jeans are my pinspired look for this month. I've learned to love them- although I haven't gone out in public yet….

V @ X-tremely V says
I have always loved and wore white jeans, dress pants, etc.! I actually just updated my jeans to the Modern Straight leg from Loft! LOVE THEM! They are perfect to wear as is or roll up 🙂 I am still on the hunt for the perfect white pant suit! Any suggestions?
AMF says
Love white jeans, wish I could wear them all year long. I am NOT a skinny girl, more curvy and I still love them. They make everything feel fresh and bright. On another note – what up with your lack of Stella & Dot love? As a stylist I used to refer to your blog as a great place to find outfit inspirations for our jewelry. I feel like you are pushing the Nordstrom sponsorship connection a little hard. I would be totally okay with "I love a longer metal necklace with a fringe detail and here are options at a bunch of price ranges." But that doesn't seem to be what you are saying… No, S&D is not cheap but it is fabulous, and I believe you are familiar with our fantastic hostess rewards 😉
Sheaffer says
Hi there! I'm a little confused by your comment because I have all sorts of love for Stella and Dot! In fact in my GO TO pieces post a couple of weeks ago I included the Kimberly necklace as one of my 10 pieces BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH! The necklace today was not from Nordstrom, it's from Sole Society. I included it as an option because the price point is so much lower, and I get sooooo many comments from people who love the Kimberly necklace but say they don't spend that kind of money on jewelry. You'll continue to see me LOVING Stella and Dot and talking about it constantly!
Lana says
Count me in the category of "afraid of white jeans"…until you convinced me! I just bought the white boyfriend jeans at Loft yesterday and I love them SO much. Have a great weekend!
Cindy McF says
Sheaffer!!!!! I want you to know, you have totally put my faith back in clothes! I have bought and NEVER WORN at least 5 pairs of white jeans. I always ended up buying the "these aren't great, but I can't find anything else" white jeans. After I read your post this morning, I jumped in my car and drove straight to the Loft. And. You. Were. So. Right!!! The white skinny jeans are perfect. I must have stood in front of the mirror for 5 minutes dumb struck. I could not believe it! They are a perfect weight, with no see through, stretch, perfect length. I feel like I have found the Holy Grail of Jeans. Thank you so much for doing all the leg work for me. You rock <3
Aimee says
Yes, it is now obvious that I NEED white jeans. Thank you for your post! BTW, I have the DV Jaslyn wedges and love them……and my Caslon military jacket just arrived in the mail. It is awesome!!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
I'm already wearing the heck out of my white jeans and buying some back up pairs! The Loft ones were some of my favorites too. Just thick enough and the fit was spot on! Plus the price is just right too!
Because Shanna Said So says
This new FB thing is CRAY!!! Thanks for sharing the tips!! And this girl still hasn't found a pair of white jeans that don't make me look GROSS! I'll have to check out the ones you suggested! They look great on you! xoxo
Stacy says
Oh, the timing is perfect today: I am wearing white jeans, a white tank, a chambray shirt and black belt/sandals today! I was afraid of white jeans, too, until I found a pair of boyfriend jeans at Old Navy for an absolute steal. I will wear the heck out of these puppies this spring and summer!
Heather Leigh says
Do you know if the loft sale is in store also?
Sheaffer says
It is Heather! I'm not sure when it ends, but it's definitely on sale in store today!

"source not found for Gwyneth"
Total side note – This quote made me laugh. If you've ever listened to her speak or read her blog, you might agree that this would make a whole lotta sense.
shaeken says
I just bought my first pair of white jeans last night at a CAbi party and opened Bloglovin' to find this today! Fate, I tell you. Now, to boldly style them 🙂 I am so excited to try my new jeans out!!
Katriel-Maria Berbert says
I have a pair of white demin capris that I've worn forever. I love these options, but I'm not sure if I want to invest in white pregnancy jeans. So I'll have to wait for next summer to recreate some of these outfits 🙂
Leslie says
I love, love, love white jeans and I've been waiting to wear them for months – one week to go. I can't do it until after Easter or my Mema will roll over. I am going to try the military jacket with the jeans. So far you have sold me on the jacket, must have wedges and nude flats!
SarahN says
Just yesterday I wore my military jacket with white jeans! 🙂 great post!!
Shaunacey Bonneville says
I LOVE the white jeans and how they look on other people but they still freak me out. I wrote a whole blog post on my fear of them. One day….
Anonymous says
I love all the white jeans with the exception of the ripped ones. To me the rips should be saved for the blue ones, as white says clean, virginal, etc. Just my feelings.
Kate says
I bought a pair of white skinnies at the Kate Spade outlet last fall and I LOVE them! I'm so excited to get more wear out of the now that spring is finally here!
Bethany says
I just got my first pair of white jeans! I got the 7 for all mankind white skinnies from Nordstrom. But I am loving seeing all these styling ideas!! Never realized how amazingly versatile white jeans are!
Lora G says
LOVE white jeans, but man they are hard to find! I can't wait to try the Loft versions!!! Mine have always been from Gap, but I did NOT like their options this year. THANK YOU for this 🙂
Rebekah Carrington says
Huge fan of white jeans and I need a new pair post-baby! Love the pins!
