I bought a pair of white jeans from Talbots. They fit great and I am going to keep them. The price was good
My quibble is that the pockets are white and not nude. So they show. I’m hoping that white underwear will help, I usually wear nude but you could really see the pockets. I find that annoying but I also don’t want to order a bunch of other white jeans
I recommend white boyshorts style undies. That way, there are no panty lines showing either.
I’m eyeing these right now: Sites-talbotsus-Site
Nice! I bought the straight leg style. I also have a pair of wide leg jeans from Talbots which I like a lot. Not in white though.
@DeeCee36 I just got a catalog today from Talbots. Everything will be 30% off starting April 24
ooh! that’s incentive to wait another week. thank you!
@DeeCee36 I’d like to hear more about how you pared down your closet and decided what pieces you needed to purchase. 
My ultimate goal is to have a wardrobe that only contains things I love and feel great wearing. Instead of buying lots of less expensive things “I’ll probably wear”, I now spend more on fewer things I will wear often, and for a long time. So far, I’ve only done this for my cold-weather clothing. I’m just starting now on warm-weather.
I first went through closet and drawers and got rid of anything I hadn’t worn in over a year (except for a couple of special occasion items). I set aside and packed away things I wore, but really didn’t love, with the idea that if I don’t miss them at all within six months, I’ll get rid of them then. I then made an inventory (word document) of what I had left in each category (pants, tops, shoes, outerwear, dresses),
With what was left, I catalogued items in the following style buckets: Casual, polished casual, work wear, special occasion. Some things fit into multiple buckets (polished casual and work wear had a lot of overlap). On paper, it was then easy to see where I had gaps, (e.g., I only had 2 pair of work pants that I loved, once I got rid of the 5 pairs that I sometimes wore, but never felt good in). Instead of buying 5 new pair, I found 2 that are neutral and can be worn again and again with all sorts of tops. As I’ve worn outfit combos that I really feel good in (which is now all of my work wear thanks to this exercise), I take a photo and keep it in an outfits album on my phone. So I now have a look book of outfit inspiration if I’m ever feeling stuck in the morning.
The upside has been enormous. I somehow feel like I have more to wear, since I like everything. My closet and drawers are so much more organized, as I got rid of easily half of my winter wardrobe. I feel like I shop with purpose instead of buying “maybe” items. I know what I need/want and don’t feel bad spending more on it than I would have before.
If you google capsule wardrobe, you’ll see lots of articles/blogs on it to get you started.
Has anyone bought shoes from Quince? I have and love my Rothy’s, they are prefect for my business casual wear when I can’t wear open toe sandals. I am looking for something a little different than another Rothy’s.
They have some cute loafers. I have weird feet. Narrow and narrow heel but a bunion. The Rothy’s are the only ballet type shoes that stay on. Curious how the Quince would do.
I’m super impressed!! Sometimes I’m really frustrated by the “sometimes I pick you” in my closet.
I’m impressed with @DeeCee36 too!
One thing that can help is to keep a bag where you put those things that you wore for a day and just didn’t feel great in or that you tried on with everything in your wardrobe and it just didn’t go. I’ve had a bad habit of just putting those things back in the closet…
No experience, but the Wirecutter person liked the horse bit loafers
I’ve had good luck getting white jeans at Chicos in the past. Here’s one of their current styles:
I buy my jeans very inexpensively ($20 or so) from Costco. Have a pair of white ones.
I just received these, and they are going to be my favorite jeans!

That is the brand that made @conmama ‘ gorgeous lace leg jeans. The fabric is substantial yet very stretchy.
I always forget about Chico’s
I love how methodical and organized you are in weeding out your clothing. I’ve often thought of doing the look-book idea, but never got around to it.
I’ve been Marie-Kondo-ing my closet, too. I have several things I do love, but never reach for them. After several years of this, I’ve decided that I don’t love them enough. So far, I’ve pulled 30 things, several footwear included. I have probably 5-10 more things. It feels liberating. I totally agree it lets you know what true fillers are needed.
I’ve been visiting Chico’s again after a decade or so hiatus. They had changed their demographics and I’ve noticed it seems to be getting somewhat more youthful again. Or heck….maybe I just got older, ack!
I did order 2 pair of white jeans from Chico’s last night. Maybe the pockets won’t show through. Both are the no stain fabric which sounds intriguing for white jeans.
Added in a white tank because they are my favorite to get to $200, $50 off $200 plus it’s my birthday month so I got a pretty good deal
Unrelated to the shoes but that was an interesting article. I’ve purchased some of the items reviewed not because I want to look like I’m wearing a Jenni Kayne sweater but because it’s reasonable price point for a cashmere sweater that I may only have in my rotation for a season or two. Paying well under $100 makes me feel less bad if I choose to put it in the Goodwill pile. I’ve never been a person who is looking for heirloom clothes that I want to hand down to my daughters. I never want to be upset about getting something on a $200++ Jenni Kayne sweater.
Funny side note - when I Googled Jenni Kayne to make sure I was spelling her name right, the first hit that came up was Quince.
Some of the things they pick on don’t matter to me, like uneven lines on windowpane sheets or uneven stitching on a towel (although I am partial to the Brooklinen sheets).
I have the stretch silk dress that I may or may not end up wearing to D’s graduation. They just happen to have a print in D’s school colors, which are colors I don’t ever wear. I also don’t wear dresses very often so if I wear it, it will be a one and Poshmark or Goodwill for me.
