White for Fall with the Sunday Showcase
,A couple weeks ago, I met up with my friend Rachel (The Faux French Girl) in Chattanooga at Renaissance Park for a picnic and blog pictures. I typically use my phone for pictures so it was a treat to have someone take pictures with a real camera. A big thank you for these pictures! I have been so impressed with the beautiful parks in Chattanooga by the river that plan to bring the boys back up in December. It has felt so busy lately and I am looking forward to the school breaks coming up.
I do not wear my white jeans in the summer as it is too hot. I have been enjoying wearing them now that the weather has cooled off. I love white with brights but also with neutrals so today’s look features this pretty blouse with the gorgeous sleeves. The blouse was a birthday at a local boutique.
It’s an oversized fit so I like to do a little front tuck and I chose my fun lug sole sneakers to carry the tan color. I was happy to not make a mess while eating our picnic. I have 2 tops that have suffered some mishaps lately and had to be creative with. One I turned into a crop top, while I added pins to the other, we shall see if I wear them that way of if they are destined for the trash bin.
Meeting Rachel on a Monday was a great way to start the week. Instead of doing chores, I had a pretty drive up to Chattanooga listening to music and enjoyed a delicious latte at her favorite coffee shop. We then we walked around the park before settling by the river. I really need to take advantage of our pretty weather.
I am about ready for a trim. I tend to get my haircut before vacations so will probably call my friend this week.
Chattanooga has definitely changed in the last 20 years. It really has become a pretty city with some fun shops, different neighborhoods and parks. There are also some attractions like the aquarium you see in the background. My favorite is the parks but the bridges are a pretty sight too.
While I do wear a variety of types of jeans, I think skinny jeans might be my favorite style for everyday. I find them really easy to work with and all types of shoes work well with them.
Do you wear white jeans?
Thanks again for the pictures, Rachel!

We sure did! We have been trying to get together every month or so since we met.

I do like my white jeans but I really only wear them in spring and a little bit in early fall.

I think it really depends on our weather!

Haven’t been to Chattanooga in years. East Tennessee was my old stomping grounds in college but I guess Chattanooga is more southeast. My sister just drove up there from Crossville, TN and said it was lovely. Your photos confirm that. And what a pretty top. Really like the detailing on it, the feminine sleeves, the cut of the bodice. Great color to pair with your white denim for fall. I don’t wear my white in the summer much either for the same reason – too hot. Need to break mine out for fall.

Thanks, Leslie! We probably go spend a couple days there on Christmas break since my brother lives there and we may want a little getaway. I do love these jeans in cooler months: they are great in the winter too!

Love how you styled the white jeans for fall with tan and warm florals. I still haven’t found a pair of white jeans that work on me, but I do like wearing a white skirt year-round.

This Target pair has been a good one.

I wear my white jeans whenever I feel like it. But, I always am reminded of one time when we were on vacation. This was when I was a kid, and my mom had gotten a new pair of white pants just for vacation. My brother was shaking the ketchup bottle…you can imagine the rest! She was so sad because she didn’t buy new clothes very often!
I love this top on you, Mireille…such a gorgeous color and those sleeves!! Fabulous!

Oops! I bet she was so disappointed and sad. I just made a tee a cropped tee because it got some stains at the bottom but I still liked it. I am trying to become more creative but ketchup, I think it probably was a lost cause!

I wear white all year round-it is especially refreshing when winter comes around and a lot of people are dressing in darker colors. Love this blouse with the beautiful multi colored lace sleeves, and it looks great with your white jeans. Chattanooga looks like a lovely city, glad you had a nice girls day. Enjoy your week and thanks for sharing!

Yes! I love white with neutrals or bright sweaters in the winter! Hope you have a great week too! It’s going to be a warm one for us but back to fall weather next weekend.

I never understood that saying that it was too hot in the summer for my white jeans until we moved here to AZ haha. Now I totally get it. Which is why I love them all year long!!
I love that you are thinking about how to use the tops that have mishaps. It’s a great way to recycle,

That’s funny. I definitely do not wear any jeans of any color here during the sumemr!
Anna
I love this blouse, Mireille. It looks soft and fluid and the style of the sleeves is so lovely. I agree with you on not wearing pants in summer, it’s too hot but early autumn looks like a perfect season for them. Anna

Tht is such a cute top on you and it looks great with the white jeans and matching shoes!
Thanks for the link up 🙂
Hope you had a lovely weekend.

Thank you! I was so proud for not dropping food on it on our picnic.

Mireille, I love this neutral oufit on you. That top is really pretty and your lug sole sneakers are adorable! I feel like I am on a bit of a denim hiatus right now. The last few times I put jeans on, they felt so horribly uncomfortable that I couldn’t get them off my body fast enough! For your tops that suffered mishaps, have you considered some fun patches? Archie’s favorite tie dye tee shirt got a tiny hole right in the front so I bought a fun patch and ironed it on. Now he wants me to add a few more just for effect! I wonder if something similar would save your tops.

Iron on patch is a great idea, especially for that sweatshirt. Going to see what I can find that would go with it. It has a peach and cream and a beachy feel so I am sure I can find something in that vibe.

I really love your top!!

It’s definitely is different to get my picture taken by an adult!
Alexandra
Love your outfit! Especially having white in the pants, and not top. Sounds like a really lovely day! I’ve been up to visit Tennessee, and loved every minute of it, but haven’t had a chance to visit Chattanooga. Will definitely have to go back!
mimifce
Tennessee definitely has some beautiful areas.

I LOVE the sleeves on this top. Details like that are so unique and pretty!

Great outfit Mireille. I love white jeans but this summer didn’t have a pair, which I need to put right for next year. Thanks for linking

I wear them almost once a week.
