I was super excited when I ordered this green jeans on popback for $49.99 (these are a 28 Tall for reference) a couple months ago. But when I received them and tried them on, the first thing I thought was that I looked just like Will Ferrell in Elf. All I could see were really long, green elf legs. So I folded them and put them in my jeans stack, unsure if I'd ever wear them, and unable to return them as they were final sale. But when when I went to Old Navy the other day to pick up some clothes for my boys, one of their ads featured a woman wearing green jeans and a chambray shirt. It looked so fresh and preppy that I immediately decided to copy the look. I wore this for a casual dinner out with friends and kids last night, and I loved how it turned out, elf legs and all. It's like I had to build up my bravery to wear them, and now I love them!
Tell me, do you ever have to work up courage to wear a bold clothing item in your closet?
Thank for visiting!
