I loved reading this in companion with Kelly’s post today - there is much joy to be found in finding something you love and exploring all the ways to wear it. Sometimes stepping out of a comfort zone and sometimes cuddling within. These jeans are perfection on you, and I love all the ways you styled them!

Thanks Lindsay!! That's exactly it - I love that feeling when a piece inspires so many different ways of wearing it. x

Ok first off; CONGRATS ON TWO YEARS OF WRITING!!! Second of all; you remain my Roman Empire for dressing because your outfits are so good and your clothes fit you like a dream. I know that’s because of your thoughtfulness around shopping and I want to be more like you!! All of my things should be worn 18 ways!

Ahh thank you!! That means so much. Honestly, I made a lot of mistakes along the way (and still do sometimes) but I feel like they've helped me learn to be pickier about what I buy. Also, I'm so happy I started writing here because it connected me to writers and friends like you!! x

A joy to read!! So much outfit inspo here. I think the first one is my favorite - all white with black accessories, plus the pop of red. Easy and chic!!

Congrats on two years ♥️♥️♥️

Happy Substack Birthday!!! I hope you grabbed a cupcake 🥰 So happy to have connected with you here!!

I’ve had white jeans on my list for a while now (I have white shorts and I’m not scared!) but this is making me want to pull the trigger. You styled them brilliantly!! No surprise!

I am also loving white denim - even though I basically have to wash them after every wear with a toddler, but I don’t care! I enjoyed your denim looks so much - it was a great reminder that white denim can be styled so casual but also so elevated!

Thanks, Marie!! You're on another level of bravery wearing white with a toddler! I waited until my kids were a bit older to start wearing white again, but I definitely wish I had your attitude at that stage. x

Congratulations for the two year writing anniversary!! What an incredible milestone ❤️

I love this new series !! You always hit it out of the park with them. I’ll definitely be taking some inspo for my white outfits I’ve been living in the past few weeks.

I love every single look, Maria! I also lost the fear of wearing white denim four summers ago and don’t want to look back! Such a great simple statement and it makes any outfit better. x

Absolutely love the sweater and white denim combo! Very random question, but curious which denim forum jeans you got rid of? My denim forum 90s jeans used to be my absolute favorite but lately I feel like they aren’t doing it for me 😞

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks, Vanessa! Not random at all! They don't even make the style of white Denim Forum jeans anymore - they were called the Joan wide leg. They were too cropped (like way above the ankle) and were feeling so snug. Updating to a looser, more relaxed, modern style of white denim was definitely a game-changer for me. x
