Marshalls is one of my favorite places to shop because I know I will always get a great deal. I can find my favorite designers - like Marc by Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and even Equipment - at amazing prices well below retail. Anyone who knows me will be shocked to see this outfit. Why? Because I'm wearing...white jeans. I always said I would never wear them (for fear of getting them dirty/I feel like they're see-through.) I guess this is why they say 'never say never.' Since Marshalls makes me confident while shopping, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and wear something I was afraid of. First white jeans, next, who knows! Maybe a date? ;)
While Lydia was taking photos of this outfit I was singing 'I Have Confidence' from The Sound of Music to myself. *I've always longed for adventure, to do the things I've never dared!* Yes, I'm very strange. Knowing I got these pieces at amazing prices made that a bit easier. Even though no one else knows I'm wearing an Equipment blouse (except other fashionistas) it gives me confidence. Do you ever feel like that? Maybe you're wearing a certain pair of shoes that you got for dirt cheap and that fact puts a bit more spring in your step. Or is that just me?

Song of the Day: I Have Confidence from The Sound of Music
I couldn't decide between the Equipment blouse I'm wearing and a second top (which was only $17!) In the end I kept both, everyone should splurge once in a while! So watch out for the second top in a future post. Probably with these jeans. I could have gotten shoes and a bag in place of the Equipment blouse, but I decided to go for it.

Haha, well I certainly hope so! As someone who's said white is their favorite color on more than one occasion, I of course love these jeans. I think the pairing with the silk blouse, the textured and metallic knit, and the bright bag was just brilliant. And that pendant! So in love.

I think the white jeans look great and love the way you styled them! I haven't watch The Sound of Music in SO long!
ReplyDeleteMegan, you look beautiful! I think you always look confident, but you are really radiating in these photos.

Nice... and yes and yes.
ReplyDeleteI have said I would never do a trend: printed trousers - and love them now.
Also, when I know I am wearing a brand I love, it DOES give me that extra bit of confidence :)
very Summery! and well done you! I don't have a pair of white trousers for the same reason, I would get them dirty before leaving the house!

Yay for white jeans! I've been terrible at keeping mine clean, they always end up dirty when I wear them (like I spill something on myself haha). I always get that buzz in knowing I got something for a bargain - have been getting a few bargains lately - something I'm not usually used to, it's kind of addictive right?
