White and Silver

I think I have mentioned before that I was looking for a pair of white jeans and silver shoes.  Of course, I could look for them somewhere else but since I already knew the fit, I decided to order from J.Crew, using the 30% off CARDSTYLE promo.

midrise toothpick in white denim

I have previously ordered a few pairs of midrise toothpicks and I was hoping the white jeans would fit the same.  You can check my reviews of dark denim HERE and cords HERE.

They do.  I love the fit. The midrise is high enough to contain the muffin top...

avert your eyes if you are sensitive ;)

But not too high to result in 'long flat butt', the bane of my existence...

close your eyes again...

This is a size 28, which is one size up from my matchstick size.  I wear 4 in pencil skirts and trousers. They are very comfortable and I like the feel of the denim. Not sure if they will stretch out and sag but my cords and dark jeans don't, so let's hope for the best. 

you can look now...

The ankle length is perfect to show off your shoes.

Speaking of shoes...

Miri midheel pumps

I was seriously lacking silver metallic shoes.  They are the 2013 new black and you cannot live without a pair of black pumps, can you?  These puppies are not cheap, even with a discount, but the are leather lined with leather soles and sensible, but not frumpy, 2 7/8 heel.  I kind of wish they were pointy but round is more comfortable.

I ordered my regular 8.5 and they are a perfect fit. When I first put them on they felt a little tight but even after only few minutes they adjusted to my feet.  This is perfect, because while nobody wants shoes that are too tight, I also hate the slip heel.  They seem stable and comfortable, as far as narrow heels go.

in emergency, use as a mirror

The silver is very shiny and indeed, they are not kidding when they say 'mirrored'.  I like that, as they definitely bring sparkle to any outfit, but just wanted to let you know that it is not subtle, matte silver.

That's all folks!

Do you own silver shoes?

Anybody can please tell me that those toothpicks will not stretch? Well, if they do stretch also tell me before I wear them and it is too late...

I am off to visit my mother and I will be back on 5/15.  Most likely I will not have time to post or comment much, so I will 'see' you when I came back, hopefully with some good pictures!
