You know those pieces of clothing from “back in the day” that you will always have a soft spot for?
Most of the time my mind runs back to Juicy Couture sweat suits and although I rocked those bad boys 10+ years ago, if they were in my closet I think I’d reach for them on a cold, rainy day staying home. Be honest, wouldn’t you?! 😉
I had the same moment with these jeans. And I’m not saying mint jeans are back in the day. In fact, they aren’t back in the day at all. But I do remember 3 or so years ago, we all couldn’t stop wearing mint jeans. I had a soft spot for them because I remember when I first met Paul it was all I wore. Thanks, J.Crew.
So when I was in Austin with my girlfriends Casey and Taylor, I saw these jeans and reached for them Hunger Games style. I knew I needed to have them for “reminiscent” purposes and because I was so angry I had donated my old pair.
I paired them with booties and this neutral turtleneck I got for church and a date night. This top was seriously one of the greatest things I have purchased lately because I always want to wear a turtleneck with a structured jacket, but sometimes bulky sweaters look awkward under there! This sleeveless top solves the problem and it is a great transition piece for spring.
The jeans run true to size! I love Paige denim [the fit is perfect] so I felt okay splurging on them. And I swore I couldn’t ever get rid of them in the future. haha! The other reason I was fine splurging is because most mint jeans that are affordable sell out so quickly, so I was glad that I knew these would be in stock for y’all! I can’t even tell you how many times I order something, photograph, go to post and see, “Sold Out.” Worst. Feeling. Ever. haha!
Do you have any clothes that you gravitate towards for sentimental reasons?!
Ok, how cute are these pictures!! You look so cute and perfect for spring. I love that jacket, especially paired with that adorable clutch. So in love with all of it!!

Love this look! The “throwback style” is so cute and definitely makes you second guess about giving up a favorite piece in your closet!
