I've been using some of my favorite Pinterest pins for SAHM casual style and thrift inspiration. I thought for sure mint jeans would go into white whale status but nope. I caught the fish. Not only did I find a pair at a swap party but they are also ankle length (longer on my short stumps) and J. Crew! I didn't have to pay retail prices though. Sometimes the thrift gods really do listen.
I like colored jeans. It's a perfect way to mix it up a little. Get out of a blue jeans rut yet still staying comfortable, relaxed, and stylish. I was quite worried about wearing white and pastel. I'm a dirt magnet.
I ended the day with pink frosting on the waistband (a story for a different day) and a long line of red mystery color on the shirt. This was actually before visiting the playground. Sigh. I just so happen to be drinking red wine right now. Still dressed in my light colored clothes. I do enjoy living dangerously.
I am so glad I bought the Toms wedges. It wasn't love at first sight. I was intrigued. I liked the pretty colors but they seemed kinda...what's the word I'm looking for? Old lady-ish? You know what though? They are comfortable with lots of insole padding.They give me some height and they're fun to look at.
I could not decide if I wanted to wear a bright bold necklace or one I just like to wear out of habit. I wore them both and finished up completely with my fun find from Charming Charlie. It's a replica of a much more expensive Henri Bendel bracelet I have been wanting. Let's see if it will fill the void or increase my desire.
To my pastel and white loving friends: How do you stay clean for more than 30 seconds?

Really cute! I love the mint pants and the wedges are VERY cute! As far as keeping pastels clean, I carry a tide stick with me, lol! I do that for whatever I wear, lol!

I am so loving the shoes! That little pop of color completes the whole outfit. Thank for sharing.
Love the outfit! I am like you and am sure I will be covered in all sorts of stains if I dare wear white and pastels. Also, I have always worried about how I would look in light jeans. This was just too cute and the shoes made the look. You have given me courage to go outside my comfort zone...
