…but I wore my white jeans anyways! I figure I’m all about breaking fashion rules anyways, so why not break the classic no white jeans rule before Memorial Day rule, right? These jeans have been in hibernation for months now, mostly because I’ve been a bit paranoid about wearing them. Somehow, everytime I wear something all white, stains just seem to attract themselves to it. But, I figure the only way to improve the stain-free success rate of these jeans is just to wear them more! So here we go. Expect to see these jeans much more often! I’ve actually forgotten how much I love them.
(And today was actually a stain-free day!)
For all those petites out there, Delia’s actually has a pretty good selection of jeans for affordable prices that fit well! They’re one of the few places I can find jeans that fit without any sort of alteration! I even included a butt shot cause I know that’s something I’m always concerned about when I buy jeans. 🙂
And the bangs are totally getting too long. I finally got them trimmed today in preparation for my engagement photo shoot tomorrow. You guys are all so nice for not saying anything earlier. 🙂
P.S. In case you missed it:
- Color Brigade Vol 14 – 48 color combinations so far! Have you entered yet?
I worry about butt pockets too! I hate when they aren't lined correctly on my butt checks. I hate when they're too far apart or just too large (ex: Gap). I HATE buying pants.
Thanks for the suggestion, I am going to check them out 🙂
Just Better Together
Yes. Butt shots always important. 🙂 Anyhow… your cuteness shines again with another lovely outfit. The pumps make as much of a statement as the jeans. This is beautiful of you here.

I love that jacket on you!! And omg I can't believe you take your photos with a tripod outside!!! LOL
I love your tweed jacket! And the jeans look great on you – I haven't paid much attention to the jeans at Delia's but I think I'll take a look at their selection. I don't think white will be one of my color choices though – I'd be too afraid of getting it dirty all day!
oh no!! i'm so sad for your jeans!! 🙁 hopefully you can buy a
replacement pair…
Kileen! I feel like it's been forever since I've written you…you are looking stunning in your white jeans! I actually tried to wear mine last week with a chambray top, and as I was ironing them, I stopped paying attention and put a huge iron burn on them. AAGH! I was so mad. I had probably only worn them once before. 🙁 Sad times.
p.s. I'm still loving your bangs!!
thanks!! i'm in love with these jeans. 🙂
i'm wearing an old MAC lipstick that came out in their Barbie collection
several years ago called Rocking Chic. it's a super hot pink lipstick. 🙂
Dallas stores probably have more merchandise sizes:( I am definitely buying this as they look so cute and fresh on you!
Your outfit is so cute! But what I REALLY want to know is what are you wearing on your lips?!?! I need to have it!!!!
I do 🙂 http://www.curvywithconfidence.net Yay for whenever white! 🙂
Looking classy! 😀 I envy the weather in your neck of the woods!
thanks! i do take my own pictures on the weekdays (adrian will help out on
weekends if he has time). I use my trusty Canon RC-6 remote and tripod. 🙂
I think it's amazing that you take your own pictures! do you use a tripod? what do you use for the remote thingy? I totally love this look, btw.
Ok I cant help it you just keep wowing me with all these outfits and shoot locations. I love this look and the white pants are great besides rules are made to be broken.
Write it in Lipstick
Awww, you're exactly my same size! Same height, same weight… What size bra do you wear? Just kidding! I adore the look, it's so classic, so Chanel!

As ALWAYS, I love your shoes. You have the best shoes. I am all about stilettos.
oh yes, i love that spotted shell!! and i actually shop with bloggers'
outfits in mind all the time! i hope i don't creep anybody out either. 🙂
hm, i'm 100% positive that i bought these jeans in the store. i purchased
them a couple years ago at the Dallas Northpark Mall store… and I just
double-checked the size. it's 0P. 🙂
Is it wrong that I go shopping now with your outfits in mind?? (I hope that didn't sound too creepy!) I stopped by the Loft this afternoon and thought, "Hey! She has this little spotted shell!" I don't actually know the name of the shirt but I did recognize it from a post of yours when you wore shorts 😉
I love the white. As a matter of fact, I wore white shoes just yesterday. Rules were meant to be broken right!!
kileen, LOL about the stains comment. i am TOTALLY like that w/ whites, esp. pants. i ruined a pair of white jeans last summer when i dropped kimchi (hehe!) on my lap during dinner @ korean bbq. =P
great outfit as always.
This is such a classy outfit…I love the pants!
I really like the jeans on you. I used to buy tons of clothes from Delias but I totally forgot about them.
My Heart Blogged
Hi Kileen, You look amazing in this outfit. I live in Austin, TX so just like Dallas weather it is HOT, HOT, HOT. Perfect for white jeans.
I was going to buy the white pair from Delia's. Just checking what length you got from there? I know they do not sell petite length in stores. Did you buy it online?
I love the look of white skinnies! I think they are so classic and chic. Also, your shoes are once again amazing!!
I am itching to bring out my white denim too. I love wearing white pieces in Spring. You look great in this outfit, Kileen. I love the soft color of your top. The flower pin adds a special touch to the outfit as well.
i always buy tops from delia's, never bottoms. good to know that they fit well. my coffee loves my white jeans 🙂 love the jacket…definitely oomph-worthy!

Oh, i want a jacket like yours for so long time ago! So pretty!
Those white jeans looks great. To be honest, I never understood the whole white-items rule, but hey! I have a few white pieces of clothes and I'm usually petrified of staining them, but I still wear them. It's pretty much a waste of money to buy things and not wear them for fear of ruining them anyway!
kileen! i love you in this outfit you look so ladylike and chic.. you look like you're about to have lunch at the country club hahaha.
So love it all! I'm huge fan of white jeans but clumsy as I am it's not always the best choice, your outfits look incredibly put together, flower pin just perfect touch!

kileen! this outfit is perfect! i absolutely love it. it's a perfect mix of fancy and casual – love the color combo too!
oh good! if Stacey and Clinton say so, then it's definitely ok. 🙂
I ran across your site and I've got to say you're gorgeous! I absolutely love your style and I just love how you put pieces together ! I'll definitely be back.. possibly get inspirational outfit ideas from you 🙂
This has to be one of my favorite outfits yet! According to Stacey and Clinton, those Memorial day rules are nonexistent anymore!
Rules are made to be broken and you look great in white jeans! Your shoes are so sexy as well.
It's funny because every time I wear white stains and spills always find a way to pop in and say hello.
Cheers,
Bre
It's so hard to wear white with no stains – horray!
so glad you busted out the white jeans! i LOVE this look! xoxo jcd :: cornflake dreams
i can't live without heel inserts! these are my fave: http://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Grips-Shoes-Reduce-Slipping/dp/B0030MUDQQ/ref=rsl_mainw_dpl?ie=UTF8&m=APQLG2DUB2CQA
i found them before at drugstores but haven't seen them recently. someone told me that walmart does still carry this kind though. good luck!
So cute! These pants flatter your legs really well. Looks like a fancy brunch outfit 🙂
oh yes, it's the rain that i'm afraid of! those puddles are relentless on
white jeans! 🙂
Yayyyy!!!! Love the blazer with the brooch:)
I'm waiting a while to bust out my whites, it's still kinda cold and rainy here.
You look lovely, very Chanel!

Super classy, this is a great outfit! Thanks for sharing =)
I always look at pockets when buying jeans..they are very important.
Love that sweater and the color of it. Great outfit!
lol, thanks!
yay for wearing white!! do you have a blog? i would love to check it out
on you!
Girl, if you can look THAT hot in white jeans, I say WEAR THEM ALL YEAR 'ROUND! Plus, brides should wear white whenever they want! 😉
So cute!!! Love the white jeand and the Chanel inspired jacket!

cool jeans 🙂 white jeans never out of trend 🙂
you look gorgeous kileen!!
thank u for your sweet comments!

those white jeans look great! I have that same style from delias but in a dark orange color. Do you use a special insert in your heels to help with foot pain? I wore a pair today and by the end, my feet were dying!
These skinnies look fabulous on you! Suits you well 😀
Oooh the beautiful gold hardware on your Chanel! Love love love it. Also loving the shades that you're using in this look. Blush pink is so pretty with blacks, whites and greys! Btw, I don't think it's ever too early or late to wear white pants ;)!
Hope you're having a great week Kileen!

I have been looking for white jeans…I tried on some crop ones for regular sizes at AE which fit like normal jeans for petite people. The fit was so bad….and worst part, my underwear showed through…is this the case with the Delias?
I always hated that rule. I love wearing white and honestly, I am going to break that rule tomorrow by wearing a white dress. Well, it's kind of an off white, but still. I think it's awesome you posted a butt picture. LOL. I always have problems in that area so I can totally appreciate the help!
haha, i actually was worried over lunch when i was having a salad.
fortunately i was super careful and didn't drip anything! 🙂
Yeah for a stain-free days!!! Those are hard, you must not have eaten anything HAHA! I seriously always spill on white days. It sucks! This outfit is pretty genius I love it!
Haha, if your bangs were overgrown, then mine are like, WAY past due for a trim, since they were so long to begin with. (I can't squeeze one in until next week, due to schedule conflicts between me and my stylist. 🙁 boo)
Anyway, those jeans are really cute, haha, and thanks for the butt shot. I hate over-embellished pockets, or the tell-tale Abercrombie/AE/Express pockets. Those always bug me! The Delias ones are perfect. I really like the leg of them, they're not too skinny, since they fit over your shoe, and I really like it!
omg, what a coincidence!! Delia's really is very good! The Morgan style
fits me really well, but you might consider the Taylor since you're slimmer
than me. 🙂
so you funny you posted this today! i made a post on a fashion board i frequent, asking for recommendations for skinny white jeans and one of the girls suggested delias. who woulda thunk!?
oh thank you so much!! 🙂
You look so pretty!! I love the jeans. I actually LOVE everything about this look! Perfect!
oh thank you so much!! i was so surprised when i tried on Delia's jeans and
realized that they fit so well! and they are so affordable too! 🙂
I have a pair of Delia's morgan jeans and I love them! This is one of my favorite outfits of your recently. I just love that jacket, color of the top, and the white jeans!
thanks! the flower pin is supposed to go in your hair, but i stuck a safety
pin on the back and put it on the jacket. totally works, right? 🙂
Oh, yay! I'm glad someone else broke the "no white before memorial day" rule so I didn't have to! 🙂
I miss my white jeans and white summer dresses, looking forward to breaking them out.
Great outfit! I love the flower pin, very springy!
lol, no white jeans before memorial day is ridiculous. if you have it, then
you should wear it right? 🙂
I'm quite particular about my pants too, but I think getting the right inseam is super important. I never knew there was a rule that you can't wear white before Memorial Day, who made that up? LOL. You look great and very "Chanel-esque."
I've been really wanting a pair of white skinnies for some time now and those look great on you! I would have never thought to buy jeans a Delia's, thanks for the tip!
And every time I see your Chanel purse I sigh juts a little… 😀
Lidi @ Eclectic Flair
I agree that Gap butt pockets are usually a bit big! I've had much better
luck with Delia's. 🙂
thanks! 🙂
Ahh screw the rules! This looks amazing!! I wish I could pull off white jeans.. but they would seriously be covered in stains. haha.
My tweed blazer is at the tailor's as I type this! I hope the sleeves turn out…:D Lovely and classy outfit!
