White Washed

April 9th, 2012

J.Crew Jean Jacket, Graham & Spencer Dress, Zara Clutch, J.Crew Pumps, Essie ‘Cute as a Button’ Nail Polish

I rocked a jean jacket pretty much every day in high school (in a dark wash, buttoned up to the neck – sweet) but since then, I hadn’t been able to look at them the same way. As soon as I saw this one though (that’s now on sale!), with its vintage wash and flattering cut, I changed my mind. I threw it on over the dress that I wore to my bridal shower (here) and decided it’s the ideal piece to tone down items that would normally be reserved for fancy occasions.

I love this outfit, it`s time that I get a denim jacket. Last year a denim shirt moved in, this year the jacket will follow, I`m sure.

I am totally in LOVE WITH light blue and white + the pastel trend going on. For Easter I collected a gallery of the most beautiful Ballerina inspired fashion. Instead of eggs, I collected beautiful tutus + tights!
xx! Happy wedding!

Beautiful outfit! I personally love my jean jackets, having both a dark wash and a light wash, and I wear them with everything! They are the perfect thing to not only dress down an outfit, but also make a simple white t-shirt so much edgier. By the way, your body looks amazing!!! Mind posting your workout? I need to work off all those delicious reciepes your giving me!

I get what you mean. My mom forced me into overalls when I was a child and now that they are trying to make a comeback- even though the short ones are cute- I don’t think I’ll be able to where them again. great post! What a great idea to tone down a fancy dress

I know exactly what you’re saying about the jean jacket. I was very skeptical to purchase one until I discovered the AG Robyn denim jacket (which fits perfectly) a couple months ago, and now it’s my go to jacket for layering over dresses, skirts, black pants…basically everything except for blue denim.

Gorgeous, Emily! Your J.Crew pumps add the perfect touch of color!

Gosh, I haven’t thought about jeans jackets for years. I used to wear one all the time from Jr. High on through my twenties. It might just be something I try again…
