My mission: to find the perfect pair of (1) white jeans, (2) mid-rise and (3) bootcut, for (4) under $50. Something to wear with that summery, nautical look I posted about yesterday (and here, and here, forever and ever, amen).
It wasn't easy wading through the Sea of Skinnies, but I unearthed a few budget bootcuts (sidebar: I'm always hesitant to say "budget", because one person's "budget" is another's "bankrupting horror of extreme spendytude" - so let's just stick with "under $50") in various widths:
A hint about white jeans, which can be challenging to those of us with any sort of hips going on *raises hand*: try having the front pockets removed and sewn shut for a more streamlined look. It also avoids that phantom pocket outline that thinner (i.e., summer weight) white jeans tend to get.
What do you think?
Anyone else have an outfit or clothing item you'd like me to track down? Feel free to leave it in the comments or drop me an email at ipickpretty AT gmail, etc.
(Not that I know what I'm doing here, of course, but I'm extremely skilled at *acting* like I think what I know what I'm doing.) (Law school taught me that,

White pants, capris, bermudas and shorts are my absolute FAVORITE summer clothing item! Yay for some new styles to scope out...my husband does NOT thank you :)
Looks like I've got some shopping to do! Thanks again!
I didn't even realize I needed white jeans, but for under $50, I most certainly do.
This ought to be easy for you. I need something to wear in our family photos next week. The baby girls will be in nautical inspired togs:
My 2 year old is wearing this:

We're having the pictures done outside, so I'm not sure I can wear jeans. It's so hot in North Carolina right now that I would probably be a sweaty mess in 5 minutes. That said, I do have a great pair of dark wash citizens that I can squeeze into. My white jeans are still a no go. I am open to anything!
Have fun!
I would add that Gap Long and Lean white jeans are quite nice for those of us with hips (and booty). Although, I'm pretty sure they were about $60.
"bankrupting horror of extreme spendytude" - love it! haha.
Also, thanks for the tips on the removing & sewing front pockets! I don't have a pair of white jeans, but my mint pair and yellow pair have that same ghosty pocket outline and it's been annoying me.
I'm in agreement with Emily's comment above-a post about what to wear for family photos (your's are amazing, btw) would be timely for me as well!
