IT’S CASUAL FRIDAY. Bust out your favorite denim, people, because it’ll be another seven days before these babies will see the mildly-carcinogenic fluorescent light of your work day. Typically (and by typically, I mean my entire adult life) I’ve pretty much worn the same three or four brands of jeans that I’ve arbitrarily and inexplicably deemed the only jeans that could possibly fit me. Recently, however, that denim coterie has been breached and the new sheriff in town is Mother (the brand, not the person… hi Mom).
I stumbled upon this pair at Nordstrom the other day and once I tried them on, the rest was history. Of course, denim is tricky and different brands fit everyone differently so I can’t say with certainty that you’ll enjoy the fit of these Mother jeans as much as I do. However, I’m going to go ahead and say with certainty that you’ll enjoy the fit of these Mother jeans every bit as much as I do. So there’s that.
The pair I’m sporting today is in a beautiful winter white hue that I’ve carried through the rest of my outfit with pops of optic white and burgundy. Of late, I’m a big fan of the tone on tone combinations of creams and bright white. You should try it. It’s not nearly as scary as staging a coup d’état of the ruling denim oligarchy in your closet.
Happy Friday!
P.S. If you’re a Rockette or in some other awesome profession that requires a lot of high kicking, let’s just say that these jeans are kid tested and Mother approved. Get it?! Mother?! Like the brand?! Stop.

Mary, the first thing I love about your blog is your impeccable style ….. The second one is your sense of humor in your writing (and your great writing skills that evade most bloggers, you are obviously highly educated) great job on both!

You & this outfit are the definition of perfect. I love the all white outfit and featured an all white outfit on my blog this week as well. Love the pop of fall color from the coat and shoes. Plus the colors are so vibrant especially the fallen leaves.

Do you mind sharing what size your coat is? I read the reviews on Nordstrom and they say to size down, but being a tall girl who needs longer arms and broader shoulders, I don't know whether to take that advice.
this is really beautiful!

Just to let you knbow that you have got a french reader (or maybe more). I've reading your blog for several months now and, although we do not have to follow as much rules regarding workwear as you seem to have, I welcome some change from super casual french style that is too much sometimes. Especially when one has an executive position and prefer to look well put together and groomed. Many thanks for all.
Amazing pics and fantastic looks, the leaves make a good look for autumn. I love it so much!
