So, you know how you pin some outfits on Pinterest that you just think are pretty but never think you'll actually be able to wear? I pinned this one back in August/September-ish thinking I'd never wear such fanciness or own anything that color, but I kept it around simply because I found it so, so pretty. Little did I know that mint jeans would someday be in the picture--and in my closet--and enable me to recreate this look in a wearable-for-everyday kinda outfit. Pinterest strikes again!
I'm actually in Madison, WI right now for work! (But I'm posting outfits that are backed up from last week.) I wore my mint jeans in another outfit today and it was kind of funny to be around people who aren't caught up on trends (I'm referring to some of my coworkers from around the country, not the residents in Madison) and who still don't know what to do with colored pants. I've been getting both looks of intrigue, but more funny looks than anything. At least I now have you guys to snicker about it with.

ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! You did an amazing job of using your (p)inspiration to create a more casual look.
ReplyDeletegorgeous lace top and clutch! love the styling of the brown accents with this color palette.

I'm surprised anyone would be weirded out by those pants, even aside from being trendy they're just such a perfect mint shade. I love them!

Seriously, you should ad a pin it button to your blog posts. I have no idea how to do it, but I've seen it on other blogs. I am so pinning this. :) Also, I'm at the point where I might just have to dye my own mint jeans.
ReplyDeleteI think this is great!

LOVE your outfit and REALLY love those jeans =)
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome! I've had some Pinterest to reality moments like that too - how fun to grow in your style. And those confused people just don't know what they're missing...
ReplyDeleteUm, pretty sure I need one of those lace tops... I'm in LOVE. You look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this outfit! So simple yet it makes a great statement. I also love your choice of necklace -- yellow is the perfect complement here :).

That's humorous that Madison isn't up on the trends, considering what a college town it is!
ReplyDeleteyellow, mint, colored denim, lace... love it all! :)

ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to go back through my Pinterest and hopefully be able to pull an outfit idea or two from there...thanks Audrey!

This is SO similar to an outfit I bought before I went to New York earlier this month. I'm so proud that I'm more fashion forward these days! My jeans are a much brighter green, but the top is almost exactly the same (I got it from F21 too). I wore a bright orange necklace with it and wedges, and I totally had fun wearing it. :)
ReplyDeletethis look is gorgeous on you! I've used Pinterest for inspiration in the past, but never an identical look! I'm inspired :)

Haha well it's not actually the Madison ppl. It's my coworkers from all over the country.
ReplyDeletelove the outfit audrey!! you are always traveling for work, wish i had a job that allowed me to travel. let those people snicker away you look super cute in your mint jeans
ReplyDeleteLove that lace top with the pendant! So cute! And I agree with being around people not as up on fashion trends.It's funny as a teacher for other teachers to ask why I am so dressed up and things like that. I just think I am in normal clothes, but they consider it unusual!
ReplyDeleteI love the splash of yellow!
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing green denim capris today. I have gotten one compliment and a bunch of weird looks today.
I am so jealous of this outfit!!! I want mint jeans!!

That makes much more sense! I work at a high school so my wearing of trends is greeted with a smile (by the teenagers... sometimes my adult coworkers are confused)
ReplyDeleteMost of the time the things I wear are complimented left and right in Portland and anywhere else I get blank stares.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute necklace!

So cute! and I love the pop of yellow from the necklace.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the pants!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I still can't get my hands on the right pair of mint jeans, but I seriously love the way they look. Also, I love how your shirt always looks tucked in at the front, but I can never get mine quite as neat. Is there a trick to it?
ReplyDeleteHey now, not everyone in Madison is behind on trends ;)
ReplyDeleteGirl - I love this outfit! The matching shoes, belt and bag, the mint with the gorgeous yellow necklace. So perfect!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the rest of the world not being in touch with blogger style. I get weird looks when I wear a statement necklace. The great thing is the people giving me the weird looks are usually in jammies and slippers. In public. And I'm the weird one. Huh. Go figure. ;)
Haha sorry! I did not mean to imply at all that the Madison people were the ones giving me weird looks. It's actually my coworkers from all around the country who are giving me weird looks.
ReplyDeleteUsually I tuck the shirt in completely, and then pull it out from the back. If it just tuck it in to the front right off the bat, it looks messy for me too. As I'm typing this I've tried 4 ways to describe why pulling it out from the back makes a difference, but none of the made sense. Maybe try that for now and if it still doesn't look right I can try to put together a visual for you since you're not the first person that's asked about it. Try it and let me know if you still need a visual!
ReplyDeleteAnother cute outfit! Love the colors, especially the yellow necklace. Such a pretty, bright pop!

This outfit is perfection! Love the top and the jeans and the necklace!
ReplyDeleteAww, I live in Madison too! We're not that behind! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous jeans and they look perfect with your lace top.
I know! I didn't intend to imply anything about the people in Madison in regards to trends and stuff--I was referring to my coworkers from around te country as the ones giving me weird looks, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this whole look. Casual and chic but unfussy and complicated. Keeping things simple is the way to go. Love the pop of yellow with the necklace! Your accesories are always on point!
ReplyDeleteI mean NOT complicated! LOL
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm glad you got to wear the outfit you thought was so pretty...I love those days when it just feels really special getting dressed! And I'm all over your clutch...totally adore it!

I know, I'm just teasing! :-) Glad you were able to visit the city!
ReplyDeletehaha! you're gonna get in trouble with Madisonians and IVers if you're not careful! hehe.
ReplyDeleteOh I like this look as well! I may copy cat this... I think I say that about everything you do!

Thanks so much! I haven't tried that before. I was always just trying to tuck the front on its own. I bet it will work out great now. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! Found you on WIWW at pleated poppy. I have mint jeans and a lace top...why didn't I think of that? SO cute!!

I love it all!!! I tried on those jeans at Target but they just didn't fit me right! They look fab on you! And I need that clutch!!! LOVE IT! And I get looked at weird all the time in some of the stuff I wear! I just want to look at them and say...."have you read any fashion blogs lately?". Snickering! ;)
