I Occasionally Wear The Pants

I readily admit that shorts and jeans are not my common choice, but when I recently wore my red jeans and several people stated that they could not recall seeing me in blue jeans, I felt it necessary to remind everyone that I do (on occasion) wear blue jeans. Sometimes I wear them when the wind is strong and I don't feel like exposing myself to the general public, and at other times I feel it necessary to don them so people don't think I have a religious conviction against women wearing pants...So, here's a little blue jean remix from the past year.
It was also laundry day recently and to save time and energy I snapped my pics there...but I didn't climb in this time!

That shirt is so adorable/funky and I really love the pic of you climbing the stairs in jeans - you rock jeans very well!

YAY! YOU WON THE DRESS! :) Please email me (my email is on my profile) your address (won't use it for stalking purposes, promise) so I can mail it out to you asap - I think you'll love it!!

*Lusty*

Tahda said...

haha...ok you win. I suppose you do where jeans occasionally ;)

The Haute-Shopper said...

Such a cute shirt.. and you do suit jeans very well. That's probably my favourite shoe pic so far :) There's something artsy about having a washing machine in the background...

Mash said...

beautiful , beautiful pictures ! I love what you wearing near the washing machine <3
ultra cute

That shirt is so cool! And I am really loving those earrings...they have this ethno - tribal touch.

AsianCajuns said...

I feel the same way about jeans generally- especially in warmer weather I love having freed legs.

As for your laundry photos- I've never seen a laundry room look so stylish. I especially love the earring photo!

Shin said...

I love the laundry shots! The last picture is so cool! I'm not really a jeans person either because it's uncomfortable for me to sit in them for hours. xxoxoxoxo

fröken lila said...

if it were easier to find a pair of jeans that actually fits i guess i would wear them more often as well.. but, as it is, i own one pair and i don't feel the urge to wear it very often.. so i totally understand you! but you do look nice in them, you really do!

Raquel said...

you really do look lovely in pants too :)

Diana said...

shorts are cute especially with what you are wearing them with!

KD said...

GAH EARRINGS GAH plus GAH ZIPPER SHIRT GAH.

biru said...

Omg, pants! I never thought you didn't wear pants, I don't think I thought too much about it. I love your short and t-shirt ensemble. It's lovely! Those earrings are adorable too.

Cassiopeia said...

Teehee. Love the top and earrings - so so so cute!!! I so rarely wear jeans, espec on the blog... Saying that, I wear blue ones even less as don't currently have a pair lol.

jeans are nice for a change but high waisted shorts are always a good choice for those hot summer nights..

(i can see some pics from greece over there.....)

Rebecca said...

Very cute pictures! I would actually like some more pants because I only have a few pairs that I like. They are nice to have around, on occasion!

That last picture is so funny - I'm guessing no one else was around, right? :)

The Stylist said...

I love your laundry shirt, right up my alley.

janettaylor said...

So cool photos! I especially love last one! :)

XoXo

pretty face said...

haha - how the HELL did you take that last photo????

Devonbella said...

awesome post!

Annie said...

I like your shorts a lot. Also, how you photographed your earrings in the quarter slot made me smile.

Jay Tee said...

I need to go jean shopping. I haven't been wearing jeans often these days either, but I think it's time for me to find a good pair of straight legs.

Love the laundromat photo shoot--what a fun idea.

Meg said...

Are those shorts you're wearing? If so, I LOVE THEM. They go perfectly with your shirt.

Also, as far as jeans go, you really should wear them more often. You have the perfect legs for skinnies.

I heart this post!

Swell Vintage - Frankie said...

That top is ADORABLE!

Also, thanks for your very kind comments on my cuff. If you want it, it's yours. I'd be more than happy to cut a deal!

Brigadeiro said...

Sacre bleu! You do indeed wear blue jeans! LOVE that last shot! :) Brilliant!

lisa said...

I love the way you displayed the beaded earrings for the close-up shot. So creative!

Lauren! said...

I love that you have like a directory of photos you've taken for every possible mood, outfit, color, clothing piece, what have you. It's quite something.

Alya said...

oh the photos in the laundry room are adorable! I cant imagine what anyone who saw you taking that last picture was thinking! LOL

becca. said...

Winnie said...

I like the Jeans! I don't wear them too often because I prefer skirts and dresses but Jeans are needed on some days!

White Tea &amp; Wild Horses said...

I LOVE your tshirt in the laundromat photos! Looks like so much fun! XX

indigotangerine said...

Joelyne said...

Your pictures are so fun =) I really love the shirt you're wearing in the laundry pictures! =) And those earrings are gorgeous!

Journeys Through Fashion said...

It feels so strange seeing you in jeans, but I really like it! The laundry room shots are funny and adorable.

EternalJade said...

I agree. I love wearing jeans when its cold, and skirts when the weather is just perfect.

The laundry room pictures are amazing, by the way. :)

joyce. said...

Your outfit is uber cute! It reminded me of these zipper earings I use to have, until my friend lost it when I spent the night.

copperoranges said...

you look so gorgeous with your hair pulled up! also i love your laundry room shoots.

abster said...

the shirt is so cute

Hannah is Narnia's Closet said...

i love the laundry day top! so cute - and you look great in shorts and pants.

i love that whole religious convictions thing. There's one girl in my english class in the grade below me with ridiculously long hair (she says she's growing it for locks for love but like, she could have cut it MONTHS or YEARS ago and still had hair below her shoulders). i'm always like "she looks like she's part of a weird religion." and well, people usually agree. I've never found your skirts and dresses reminiscent of any ultra conservative movements though.

amanda said...

Pants or skirt, you wear clothes exceptionally well.

I love your impromptu photo shoot in the laundry room. Can you imagine the look you would get if someone came in while you were posing for the leg shot?! ;)

jamie clare said...

hahaha! love the laundry room pictures. too adorable.


and i don't usually wear a lot of pants either. eh. no biggie.

J.Yo said...

i love the earrings, it's been a long time since i've seen something like that!

catherine said...

love the jeans and the global look. ps: yes i have done a soft article of 80's!

yiqin; said...

HAHA I still remember the post where you went in the machine! Those photos were great! I love the shorts on you! & you wear jeans really well! I refuse to wear jeans because I feel so big in them :s

Amelia said...

I love the earrings and the shorts. I would wear jeans and shorts if I could find the right ones, but I never seem to want to look at them when I'm shopping. Oh, well.

Parapluie said...

As much as I love skirts and dresses, it's always good to have some jeans left. They look very good on you!

Ambroisine said...

I like seeing you in jeans & shorts, suits you well ! I love your earrings :)

Eda said...

Cute pictures!

ohphilippa said...

you look lovely! that seems like a fun way to pass the dreary time away at a laundrette! a present is on its way to you!

Alecca Rox said...

hahah! cool shoot! and what a great way to kill time at the laundry;)

Tina { Luphia Loves... } said...

love the black tee!! the laundry room photos are so cute :)

J. Rene' said...

Super cute! I love the shorts! I wish I was like you, but I am afraid I am the opposite and wear jeans far too often-so boring!

Maria said...

Love the photos. And I adoreeee your wedges. *

LML said...

a friend asked me recently if i owned pants lol! i wear a LOT more skirts and dresses...

ambika said...

Love those earrings!

Jen said...

That shirt is so lovely !

Gigi said...

You always take the best outfit posts. :D so creative even if it's just a pic of your legs up in the air

HEK said...

You look incredible in washing clothes! Really, love that outfit on you:)

elyse said...

I love jeans! I think they're insanely comfy (some pairs more than others - like these current/elliot legging jeans - better than actual leggings!) but I'm also willing to drop some serious $$ on them, because I hate illfitting jeans. A good fitting pair = the best incentive to wear them. Maybe that's just me!

I love your shorts too! Anything grey is just love right now.

Luna said...

these photos ROCK :-D really really cool xoxo

indigotangerine said...

these are such great shots! i especially love the ones by the laundry machines, something about that is just so wonderful. :)

thanks for the comment! i totally agree, korean dramas really are the best. i used to have an asian channel but after we switched cable companies or something that channel wasn't included anymore. too bad. i was recently watching a drama and indigo and i would talk about it all the time. (well, i did the watching then reported back to her what happened. haha. it was exciting. :D)

I usually wear skirts, and I have found that men are very polite to me when I do, and will almost always behave like proper gentlemen and hold the door for me. I am twice your age, but I still love it! One way I have found to make skirts as comfortable as pants, is to wear a pettislip--the ones with legs. Regular half-slips ride up and are so uncomfortable, but sometimes you need a slip for modesty or to keep the skirt from clinging. They come in all lengths and several colors. They are also cozy in the cooler weather. I'm with you though, and sometimes wear jeans to show I'm not against it! Which I'm not! But it's fun to be a GIRL.

Phuongalong said...

I wish I were that fashionable and inspiring doing my laundry. These pictures definitely communicate your energy!

The customized zippers on the sleeves of your shirt are really creative and seems simple enough to replicate. I love the laundry room pictures and just laundry rooms in general! Laundry is the one chore I look forward to doing every week.

That picture of your legs and shoesies is my absolute fave.

I think blue jeans are overrated with mall rats and underrated in the blogosphere. Funny how that works out!

Victoria-H said...

Adorable

renwore said...

I think your earrings go really well with the shirt, and I didn't expect the shirt to have such beautiful sleeves! It was a really nice surprise to see that in the detail picture :D

Muttersome said...

My favorite part of this whole post is the teeny, tiny reflection of you on the screwhead in the earring post.

ZombieLace said...

I love the pictures in the laundry room, so cute! Nice customized tee, you look quite lovely AND feminist in all your pantsy outfits :~)

Isabel said...

These are amazing laundromat pictures! You are totally gorgeous!

Anna Pope said...

The shorts are really cute, as is the last photo!

I've gotten asked so many times if my religion prevents me for wearing pants because I mostly wear only dresses :/

JBalloon said...

I like how your shoes match the laundry hamper!

Maeko said...

Hello, darling girl.

Catching up on my weekly dosage of the Clothes Horse.

I've been taking some photo styling cues from you. I still need a good tripod, but books suffice for now. Thanks for the inspiration. Laundro-mats are just the best when it comes to photos. Esp when they're yours.
