10th Commandment: April 12

American Eagle Skinny Jeans (AE, $45)

I’m headed to Pentagon City to buy jeans tonight. Wish me luck.  No matter how you feel about your body, trying on jeans is a demoralizing experience. You just have to keep repeating: fit not size, fit not size, until the sales girl comes to check on the source of the random chanting in the dressing room.

If white skinnies aren’t your thing, I’d recommend white trouser jeans or a bootcut.  White denim is a cool substitute for khaki pants or regular denim no matter the cut.

    It's right up there with the dreaded swimsuit reflection.

  2. Emily says:

    I have a pair of flare-legged white jeans (which I bought about 10 lb ago so I have no idea if they even fit anymore) and I always feel like I'm a Miami housewife when I wear them. I think it's time to buy white skinny jeans, though. I love the look and I think I'll feel more modern wearing skinny jeans instead of flares. Thanks for the great rec!

  3. Kathleen says:

    Joe's Skinny White Cropped Jeans fit perfectly ! Highly recommend them.

  4. Do you (or anyone else) know if these are a “go up 1+ sizes” cut or not? I always buy online … maybe I have to slog out to the mall to try these on.

  5. DB says:

    American Eagle is always a go up one size, at least, in my experience.

  6. Emilie says:

    I have to go shopping for white jeans and a dress for a summer wedding tonight, so I'll be with you in spirit.

  7. Virginia says:

    Gap's Always skinny are my favorite jeans right now. Flattering and at a good price point.

  8. LS says:

    Hah I'm also planning to shop for white jeans tonight!

  9. Lane says:

    I have decided to bite the bullet and finally buy some white skinny jeans, I've been hiding behind a trouser leg but now that I've finally shed a few lbs I'm ready to embrace a skinny jean and even try a white one…

    As someone who has never owned a pair of skinny jeans or jegging type ones, could I get a few dos and don'ts on how to do them right? Thx!

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
