Cupcakes and Cashmere

Dotted Line

Celine Sunglasses, J.Crew Blouse, Madewell Blazer, J.Crew Pants, Manolo Blahnik Pumps, Kelly Wearstler Clutch

Initially I had serious doubts about colorful denim. It went against the main thing I loved most about jeans (their versatility) and thought I’d end up wearing a bright pair once or twice before stowing them in the back of my closet. These pants though, that I bought a size up for a looser fit, have completely shifted my perspective. They’re so comfortable that I end up reaching for them constantly and the pastel color is the ideal balance to neutral polka dots.

    Love the outfit! your hair looks particularly pretty. I was wondering what the nail polish is that you’re wearing? It’s lovely.

    I’m digging the shape and size of the sunglasses. The smaller more John Lennon shape don’t suit my face shape well, but these look perfect! Love love love!

    Emily,
    I love your blog in general, but I love you today for admitting to all that you actually bought your jeans a size UP for comfort. I am sick of seeing so many women in sausage-encasing because of vanity. You went a size up AND took a risk with the colored denim. BRAVO!!!!
