Wishful Wednesday :: White Skinny Jeans

Thank you for your suggestions and input on watches from last Wednesday. I'm still shopping around.

I've also been looking for a good pair of white skinny jeans. It's really hard because white can be so trivial sometimes. It can be see through, it gets dirty easily, and the fabric makes a big difference!

Maybe I'm just really picky but I want to make sure they fit right. White is also difficult in the sense that it can make you look bigger than you actually are... or can make you look in-proportionate. At least I feel that way. I'm about 5'4" and I'm not super tall and thin but I'm also not that short either. I've tried on pairs where they fit buuuuuuut... it was too thin and exposed everything! Or, I've tried some on where it was the right thickness of fabric BUT... it was not flattering.

Here's a couple of styles I've pulled. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

J Brand

Joe's Jeans

Paige Denim

Current Elliott

Rich & Skinny

I've also been thinking about getting a pair of den.m|bar skinny jeans too. They recently just got white denim into their shop. I happened to stop by this past weekend and saw that. I have yet to get my own pair. And when I do, I'll definitely blog about the process which is utterly cool. And I am not being biased. I think the concept of having custom jeans is awesome. If you're in LA, definitely check out the shop.

How it works:

I was never much of a fan of "denim on denim" and thought it was overkill. But lately, I've noticed a change in my thinking. Maybe because I've been seeing a lot more people trying out this look and if done right, it hadn't been tacky.

Part of the inspirtation for my outfits have come from ...love Maegan. I had to come up with a "denim" outfit for an event with den.m bar over the past weekend. It all worked out!

Just Goin' for a Walk

Saturday was a nice and sunny day. Hachi and I decided to go for a walk to take advantage of the weather (it was raining last weekend). He LOVES the wind in his face, the fresh air that it brings, and the sun in his eyes.

Hachi is a teacup Yorkie. He only weights about 3lbs. 3.5lbs when he's not watching his weight.

He needs some stylish sunglasses, he's got the squint going on.

Only two times he pants: 1. When he's thirsty 2. When he's happy about going on walks!

There's those "Surprise Toms" of mine. I forgot to mention that the still have a patch of canvas on the back with their signature label/logo.

"Hey Hachi! Get back here!"

S#!% happens, right? And somebody's gotta do the dirty work. Thanks Bub!
