The New Closet Staples
Lace Peplum Top: Anthropologie (similar) | Denim Vest: Old Navy | White Boyfriend Jeans: Old Navy | Shoes: TOMS | Bag: Stitch Fix / Urban Expressions
I have no idea why it took me so long to add a denim vest and white jeans to my closet.
Well, I know why it took me so long to add white jeans… because finding white jeans that fit right is like solving a Mensa quiz. It’s impossible. Every pair of white jeans I tried on just didn’t fit right… they hugged my hips and thighs awkwardly and highlighted things I’m just not trying to highlight.
When I was at Old Navy last week, I saw these white boyfriend jeans on the rack and thought, “hmmm…. haven’t thought to try white boyfriend jeans!” And boom! I fell in love. They don’t hug me in an awkward way, they’re really comfortable, and they will go with SO MUCH. White jeans are DEFINITELY a closet staple.
Then, let’s talk the denim vest.
For a long time I think I had it in my mind that a denim vest was too 1992 / Axel Rose or something. But I love my jean jacket so much, I thought, “Hmmm… a denim vest might be a good summer / warm weather option.” I tried it on and instantly I could think of about, oh well I don’t know… 17,291 outfits to wear it with. And it was on sale. So, in my shopping cart it went.
I will warn you, this denim vest is going to be making an appearance in many an outfit this summer, believe you me.
I seriously can’t believe it took me this long to get one. I should know better by now. Or something.
What about you? Any closet staples you’ve been recently in love with? Anything you’re “behind the times” on? Are you a white jeans / denim vest fan, too?
Love the shirt! So adorable. And I have some white skinnies from JustFab. I love them. One of the only jeans I like. lol
I don’t have a pair of white jeans myself, but I think they look so sharp on other people. I felt the same way about denim vests as you, too, but I haven’t taken the plunge…

I tried on those jeans twice and failed miserably. I have them in blue denim and adore them. My hunt for white denim continues. They looked terrible on me. The thighs were too tight. They look adorable on you!
that was the same issue i had in all the other pairs i tried on – the thighs were too tight… so sorry you haven’t found a good pair yet!!
It took me forever to find white jeans too! But now that I have them, I want to wear them all the time! The white jeans look great on you!

That’s funny…I just found a pair of white denim jeans last week! It took me a while too:)! Hadn’t thought of a vest, hmmmm…. good idea:)! Karen
thanks, karen!!
I need a vest like that. Sometimes I need to cover up a strappy sundress or shirt but don’t want to wear a cardigan. This would be perfect.
