Blue Jean Baby

by Jen on Monday, June 6, 2011



I've officially returned from Europe and am able to sit at my desk again, publishing posts moments after I write them! I want to thank each one of you who continued to read and leave sweet words in spite of the less than desirable number of outfit posts in the past weeks. However, I am back, excited and ready to roll! I know that many of you were looking forward to hearing about the shopping in Europe, but I unfortunately didn't do much of that on the trip as there were simply too many sights to see! These jeans were one of my scarce purchases from London. Yes, Zara exists in Vancouver, but I couldn't help dropping in anyway and am glad I did because I found these wonderfully soft and well-fitted jeans in the loveliest shade of cornflower blue. I don't wear jeans often as I usually find them notoriously uncomfortable, but I believe that this pair is going to be in constant rotation!

I'll be sharing photos from the trip soon!









Wearing: Zara jeans, Dynamite shirt, BCBGMAXAZRIA trench and sandals, Tom Ford sunnies, Amrita Singh necklace, Joe Fresh earrings, MICHAEL Michael Kors clutch

Happy you are back. White shirt with colored jeans. Such a clean, yet cheery look. And I love the clutch!

Hello Jen, welcome back. And I'm absolutely in love with your gorgeous cornflower blue jeans, and you've styled them so beautifully... love that you kept the rest of the palette neutral! As for the shoes?! Beyond gorgeous. Happy Monday. xx veronika

Welcome back, Jen! I hope you had a wonderful trip. I'm sure you did. :)

I love these pants! And you're right, it's a rarity to see you in jeans, at least on the blog. :) But I think these suit you quite well. The color is pretty amazing too. A couple of friends just got me two pairs of colored jeans from Zara too. I can't wait to wear them.

Hope all is well.. and can't wait to see photos from the trip.

xx Love & Aloha

I love every element of this outfit, but they look even better altogether.

Know what's funny, I did the same thing when I was in Milan! I bought the same pair in green.

Welcome home, Jen! I completely understand making a stop at Zara in Europe, even though we have it here- I always find different and fabulous things. These jeans are just perfect on you. Can't wait to hear more about your European adventures :)

I think I said this yesterday, but again, so glad you are back! Your outfits are always some of my favorites! That is such a perfect black clutch - I admire it every time you wear it! And I LOVE the cornflower blue jeans! So much fun!

Yay! Welcome back Jen :) You have been missed, you look so tanned from your trip (I think?), I can't wait to see all the updates from Europe and such. You'd better have tons of delicious food pics posted soon.

P.S. My turn to return the favour, I have a giveaway up at my blog that you should check out ;)!

Welcome back love! You look amazing in these shots and I'm way too excited to see all your Europe pics soon! I feel the same way about jeans - I think if you're at all hourglassy they're just about the most uncomfortable things in the world. I find it so much easier to just throw on a skirt or dress and walk out the door. Hope to see you soon xoxo

Can't wait to see photos from your trip! You look great in those shoes and that crazy blue looks amazing on you :D

I generally hate jeans as well, because of the discomfort and overly warm issue... they are too warm for summer, but they are too light for winter, and in Fall and spring, there are far too many nicer fabrics and bottoms to wear!

I think reading you and a few other bloggers has turned me into a skirts/dresses girl.

Did you do/see any of the recommended sights I sent you???
