Hi, all! I'm slowly transitioning into "spring" mode as our weather finally warms up a bit. My main requirement this year (at least so far) is a white denim refresher.
I ordered two pair of jeans from Zara. High waisted crops, and mid-rise baggy selvedge. They aren't really mid rise on me, but more medium high rise, which is fine.
1. The high waisted crops are, alas, not cropped on me. And it might be difficult to alter them because of the way they are sewn -- they have a deep seam allowance that might be tough to pick out and re-jig for the length I need. I guess my seamstress will be the best judge of that, but I've tried to show what I mean in pic 3.
Also visible in pic 3, they have a really fun seam down the front, making them more like "sailor pants" -- a little dressier than regular jeans, in my mind. They are true optic white.
Alas, they hit just at the top of my shoes right now, the sort of bothersome length that makes you feel you are catching them up in your shoe as you move, you know? They're a bit better with the sandal, but still not great.
Thoughts?
2. The other jeans are a slightly softer white. I like them but don't know what length I would go with. I'm unlikely to wear them full length and I'm not sure they work that well as crops. I can easily send either or both pairs back and try again elsewhere. My other white jeans are an off-white pair of barrel jeans from Zara. I could probably manage with two pair.
Apologies for the photo quality. For some reason they came out as portrait so they are a bit blurry in addition to being strangely lit, as always....
