Cotton Candy

 

Jacket - George at Asda | T-shirt - H&M | Jeans - eBay | Necklace - Miss Selfridge

I bought these jeans from eBay this week and am actually a bit disappointed with them. After picking them up from the Royal Mail today (don't you just hate those 'sorry we missed you' notes) I got them home all excited to try them on and found they were about four inches too long. The description on eBay said they were a 28 inch leg, which is perfect for me being only 5ft2, they were definitely not a 28 inch leg. So I cracked my tape measure out and it turns out the leg is almost 33 inches! I was going to get dead annoyed and send them back but apart from the length they fit really well - so I've just turned the bottoms up and am going to wear them as ankle grazers. I'm not really sure why I've taken such a liking to pastel jeans but I could actually buy a whole rainbow of shades, which isn't like me at all - I usually can't get enough black and grey in my wardrobe. Ah well, its nice to mix things up a bit sometimes.

Speak soon. x

    These jeans look amazing on you, I like how you turned them up :) This colour must be so hard to style, but you really did a good in combining it with the shirt and blazer! Casual chic with a pop of colour - perfect! :)

    Aww..I'm sorry they were too long! I hate when the inseam on skinny pants is too long. I'm 5'4", so even a little taller than you, and I always get bunching at the ankles. So I can imagine your frustration. They are a cute color though and they look good cuffed like that. :) Thanks so much for visiting and commenting on my blog! <3

    I'm not that tall myself and I hate it when length measurements are off like that:( The jeans as ankle grazers look awesome on you though!

    Thanks for stopping by Suzanne and for the lovely comment. I love what you did with these super cute pants. I had to do the same with a pair that I got from Uniqlo but it turned out way better than I thought it would. I love that you paired it with grey (and int he form of a boyfriend blazer nonetheless). Looking forward to your next post! Don't be a stranger :) xo
