It was cloudy today and the forecast called for rain. I probably shouldn't have worn my wool blazer but I wanted something cropped and structured with my wide leg jeans....
I feel like the blog world jumps for joy any time I opt for something other than my skinny jeans...especially the more conservatively modest crowd. I like my skinny jeans and if you don't like me wearing them, I'm sorry because I still plan on wearing my skinnies.
Have you entered the current giveaway? It ends on Sunday night!!
Wearing thrifted Talbots blazer ($4), Old Navy t-shirt ($4), faux pearl necklace ($5), secondhand Gap jeans ($9), and Geox flats ($37).
I love you in skinny jeans, too! I didn't know they were a modesty issue. But you always look fantastic! Great jacket and jeans., too!
ReplyDeleteThe thick stripes and pearls together are excellent, everything else falls into place just beautifully. Chic!

I heart that blazer. I think you always look uber appropriate and beautiful and totally respectful. :D
ReplyDeletei love blue. any blue!
ReplyDeleteI love the last photo of you - simply stunning! Boot cut or skinny, you always look fabulous in your jeans!
ReplyDeleteI love your skinny jeans!! I didn't know skinny jeans were not modest - they still cover everything up. These jeans are great too!!
ReplyDeleteI think I know where you got that comment from about your skinnies! They honestly don't even look that tight on you. I don't like it when I see jeans clenching women's butts too tightly. I think that's where the problem arises.. no matter what type of pants.
ReplyDeleteI don't look good in them anyway, so I haven't really worn my skinny jeans too much. I guess if I did, I'd wear them more often with a long shirt or a short dress. That's just because my behind is so prominent, and I can look fat with it :-/
love this! it is refreshing to see you in wide leg but i do love the skinnies on you, too :)
ReplyDeletei like skinnies, but i am on the hunt for a good wide leg - bell bottom jean!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that blazer! Lookin good! We had rain all day here.
ReplyDeletethose arent really wide leg pants, they are more boot cut. a true wide leg pant would have probably looked better.
ReplyDeleteLove the navy T-shirt...with the necklace and blazer you adding a fabulous chic to this casual outfit...I love your effortless style.
ReplyDeleteCheers: Evi
Oh that windswept closeup is so lovely! And I think wool is nice to wear when it's raining because it can be more waterproof than a trench.
ReplyDeleteIlove you in skinnies, I think they're prettier than wide leg jeans, though I like them too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and right now I'm so happy that I finally got black flowered tights for me to wear here in this always-sunny-and-hot country! And I feel so close to you just because you have the same pair, can you believe it? Hahaha, I promise I'll take a picture and post with an elegant outfit later! :) Have a great Thursday!
I didn't know people thought skinny jeans were immodest! I guess I can see why, but they are so cute! And look fantastic on you! But I like the wide leg jeans too, especially with that jacket!
ReplyDeleteloving how chic this looks.
ReplyDeleteand i'm with everyone else on the whole skinny jeans being immodest. i really didn't know that.
whhhhat! crazy people! they obviously don't know what they're talking about, you look amazing no matter what you wear!
ReplyDeleteSkinny jeans are the BEST! I wouldn't mind wearing them everyday.
LOVE the last photo! prettyyy!
you always look so chic! and I like your skinnies, I wear them all the time too when I wear pants ^,^
ReplyDeleteI love that blazer...it looks great on you...lovely pics :)

ReplyDeletenavy blue striped top with the blazer is great on your!
ReplyDeleteSkinny jeans are nice, but I think wide leg jeans are much more glamorous! For short girls like me, the appearance of longer legs is great! Cute outfit, as usual, my dear!
ReplyDeleteYou look so chic!!
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup for stopping by darling =]
Stay safe and chic ma chérie,

Lovely navy jacket!
ReplyDelete♥
Great outfit
ReplyDeleteRianna xxxxx
This outfit looks great. I won't lie. I usually hate flared pants. You, however, are pulling them off. I supposed I shouldn't be surprised though--I think you can wear anything and make it look chic.

I'd wear the skinny jeans if I had the shape, but since I don't, I'll leave it to people like my sister. Haha.
ReplyDeletePS: bought a pencil skirt from Tulle...I think it was you who I heard about them from. Anyway, it's the only purple thing I own, and the only pencil skirt I own, and it's pretty fantastic. I have a feeling I might start to expand my skirt collection soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the blazer!
ReplyDeleteLove the look! It make you look so skinny!!! Also, I love skinny jeans...they are like all that I wear. lol
ReplyDeleteWhy do people complain about your skinny jeans?? You look great
ReplyDeletei happen to love this silhouette on you! the cropped jacket is perfect.
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness. Just wear what you want. You always look cute, and if the husband likes it, who else matters?!
ReplyDeleteLove love LOVE the outfit! The pearls are a lovely and dainty contrast to the boldness of the stripes.
ReplyDeleteI think all of your outfits are a) marvelous and b) modest. You are true to yourself and your standards and that is what should matter.
ReplyDeleteI love that blazer with the stripes.
Great pictures. Your blazer is gorgeous!!!!

ReplyDeletethe soft waves in your hair look so pretty
ReplyDeleteThat last picture of you is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing stripes on every single fashion blogger right now. I have always been afraid of stripes but I think I need to get my paws on some soon!!
nautical stripes look so good on you! :)
ReplyDeleteCute photos:)
ReplyDeleteI think skinnies look great on you! I also am in LOVE with these wider-leg jeans, though. And super cute blazer!

The blazer is great!!
ReplyDeleteyou can pretty much wear anything you want and it would still look good!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid the wide-leg jeans remind me too much of the polyester outfits my mom put me in for school way back when. Shudder.
ReplyDeletelove this simple outfit on you! i don't understand what's so wrong about skinny jeans i mean...they still don't show much skin and they're definitely a lot more easy to style everyday, so just keep on wearin' them because you rock everything you wear!
ReplyDeleteI love my skinny jeans and I wear them all of the time. There is nothing wrong with wearing them. Stick to what you like and you will feel beautiful! And look beautiful too, as you always do!
ReplyDeletehi how are you

Skinny jeans are love! OMG they are just so cute, comfy, and flattering. I love Skinny jeans!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THOSE JEANS ON YOU!!! I am gonna go get them!
ReplyDeleteelaine -- i love the last pic of you in this post. u prolly get this a lot but u seriously, hands down have the best hair ever! rock it gf!
ReplyDeleteCan I just virtual high five BBM, in agreement of how awesome your hair is!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with blazer and the striped top! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was an issue with your skinnies!? How bizarre. It's not like they're see through. Or shredded and you're flashing bum cheek or something.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I jump for joy every time I see a fashion blogger wearing pants, period! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI heart your skinnies! I wish I had a pair like that! :(
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable in everything - skinny jeans or otherwise!
ReplyDeleteI love your jacket, but I hate getting caught in the rain with wool - I end up smelling like a wet dog all day!
You look so beautiful in these pics Elaine! Especially that last one, you look gorgeous!
ReplyDeletewww.thejoyoffashion.blogspot.com
The outline of a woman's [fully covered] leg, zomg scandalous!!1! gah.
ReplyDeleteI think there is room in a modest warbrobe for slim-fitting pants. Your skinny jeans seem to keep you well covered. If your bum were hanging out, then that would be another story! ;)
who would have a problem with anything you wear? that doesnt make sense at all you always look great .. keep wearing what you like you always look awesome
ReplyDeleteGirl... If I had your type of body I would wear skinny jeans ALL the time!:-p
ReplyDeleteI wish... (sigh)...
Love reading your blog and see how much you "pull" off out of a "skinny" closet!
Cheers from Portugal.
