I Did Something I Said I Would NEVER Do

Fitness Fashion· Fun· My Life· What Runners Eat

30 Jul

Hello! I am running and eating and headed on a fun trip today.

But first let me take a selfie. And eat some banana and AB.

Ever accidentally open your camera only to scare the crap out of yourself with an extreme close up?! That’s the worst.

accidental selfie (450x800)

Post run – eggs and tons of watermelon. You know.

breakfast after run (800x600)

Okay. Now onto that thing I tried…

I am the kinda girl that will try everything once. Sometimes I’ll even make mistakes a few times just to be sure. So, I never say never…

mistakes

except for ONE thing. I have thought to myself I would NEVER wear white jeans. Seriously, it’s like the one thing I have thought I’d never do.

Actually I said out loud, “I would never wear white jeans…” last year at a blog event. And the next day one of the girls was wearing white jeans and I felt like an asshole. I’m great at saying dumb things.

In my defense, it’s not that I don’t like them – it’s that my ass was not made to ‘hey look at me!’ pants of any kinda. Fashion PSA: dress for your shape.

But I got a pair of white jeans in my latest Stitchfix so I thought I should go against my questionable moral code and give them a try.

moral support stitchfix top deal (600x800) (600x800) why girls with big butts dont wear white jeans (600x800) (600x800) this is awkward

They are not horrible, but they are NOT me. And I just can’t.

The top is also from StitchFix I loved the lace detail! So, that was a keeper at least.

Question: What would you NEVER wear?

NEVER do?

NEVER eat??

    I would never wear white jeans either! They look good on some people, but not me. You and I have a very similar body type, so I know what you mean about the booty! 😉

    I think you look great in the white jeans, but I’m with you…white jeans just make me nervous and I’ve see way too much of other women through their white jeans.

    I would never wear crocs or toms…even if they have done wonders for other people.

    I think those jeans look really cute on you but I get not wanting to wear something if you don’t feel great in it.

    I can’t bring myself to wear skinny jeans because I think you have to be a stick figure to look good in them but then I see people in them who aren’t stick thin and they look great, so what do I know. And Birkenstocks because they’re heinous.

    It would be easier to list the foods I would eat then wouldn’t but blood pudding comes to mind

    I wouldn’t wear white pants either, but mostly because I would instantly get them dirty.

    I don’t know what I can safely say I would never do or eat. Never say never 😉

    I think the white jeans look cute on you! I actually broke down and bought some last year, and I have since worn them a grand total of one time. They look fab in my closet, though.

    I will never ever ever wear Crocs. Sorry to those of y’all who love them, I just can’t find any redeeming quality. Plus I’m pretty sure I’d twist my ankle in them.

    I’ll try nearly anything once, but I draw the line at Crocs! 🙂

    Hey little gal! You run all those miles, work hard for that body so wear your white jeans. They look good. Just wear them with a tunic type top if you’re a little uncomfortable. I like the busy top with the white jeans and lace detailing is the thang now. Holla!

    I don’t love white pants. I might have worn them a couple of times but regretted it. They don’t looks great on me and they always get dirty. I used to say I’d never wear a running skirt but now I have 2 that I wear all the time and not just for running! I will never say never with clothes!

    I’m wearing white jeans right now and my ass looks great in them. Although, I get that they are not for everyone. I don’t wear short skirts anymore. A couple inches above the knee is best for me. Anything shorter just makes me feel uncomfortable.

    Never wear…peplum of any kind. Yuck.
    Never do…teach kindergarten. I want them already reading and buttoning their own jeans.
    Never eat…really, I’ll try just about anything, but I don’t like picking crabs. Too much work for too little (questionable) reward.

    I like the jeans better the blouse but it’s important that you feel comfortable and beautiful in whatever you wear. I just returned a pair of white jeans yesterday. I keep going to them and then end up returning them in the end. I would never wear anything with words on the rear. Like “Love Pink”. I hope that trend dies soon.

    White skinny jeans are hard for most people to pull off, in my opinion. I don’t think they look bad on you, but if you wanted white jeans, I think you could find some that look better. I have some J Crew matchstick white jeans that I love. They are slim, but not skin tight. I thought I would never wear white jeans either ;).

    MONICA you crazy Monican, those jeans look great on you, especially with that top!

    I would never wear high waisted jean shorts. or regular jeans. or anything of the high waisted variety, mainly because it gives the whole “long butt” effect if ya know what I mean. Not into that!

    I said I would never ever wear jeggings… and now I own two pairs. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I thought they would look terrible on anyone without super skinny legs, but I like the way my legs look in running tights, and they look basically the same in black jeggings. Also they’re the only thing that makes sense with tall boots!

    I don’t own any white jeans but I did purchase my first pair of white shorts last week which I’ve lived in since. I think if you ever buy white clothes you basically have to live in them as long as you can whilst they are still in that pristine white condition. Cos once they become a mucky yellow it just doesn’t look as good!

    The ones that have zero structure to them. The ones that if you stepped in anything, your shoe would never save you from potential discomfort, cleanliness, funk? Yeah, those. Leave them for the dancers. And definitely not for girls with short, bulky legs 🙂

    The jeans look great on you! But I understand dressing for your comfort level. I would never wear short shorts. The shortest I’ll do on runs is a 2.5″ inseam and even that’s a little short sometimes. Like you said, dress for your shape, and dress to your strengths. Have a great Wednesday!

    I will rock white jeans any day of the week but I would not wear a “belly shirt” or “crop top.” I don’t even do a bikini anymore. I don’t think my belly is horrible but I think I’m a little old for those looks.

    What would I never wear? Shorts that show the bottom of my butt cheeks. I don’t who these girls think they are (A-hem Miley Cyrus *cough*), but no one should be showin’ their butt cheeks outa the bottom of their jeans. Remember Ace Ventura: Pet Detective when he is visiting that third world tribe in Africa? *whispers* “Dude, your balls are showing. . .”

    I would never become a stripper.

    I would never eat someone’s finger. . .

    I love those jeans on you! I know white can be scary sometimes, so I found a pair of super cute light blue ones (not denim, but more like a sky blue color) and they do the trick! Still light, but not white.

    I agree with the previous comment though – not a fan of that top! The lace and floral clash quite a bit.

    I would probably never wear high top shoes!

      I appreciate the head’s up – I wasn’t 100% sure on it, but think it’s nice for more blog events since it’s silky and nice colors. I’ll have to get a third opinion when I actually wear it out.

    I’m totally with you on white, it’s a dirt issue with me.
    Every single white bottom – pants, shorts, skirts – gets ruined the first couple wears.
    It didn’t used to be funny, until I just gave into it. Used to try and try… because they look so nice in the summer. Me & white bottoms just don’t work.
    Haha for some reason, any shade of khaki is fine. Universe you’re just weird!

    haha my problem with wearing white pants is more that I’m a mess and I would never be careful enough to keep them clean. I’d end up with some ridiculous stains/dirt/grass on the first day. I feel like you have to really think about keeping yourself clean in white pants –>way too much of a committment

    Oh I could never wear white jeans either. My rear is actually less of an “ASSue” than my belly but I am sure I would end up sitting on something and getting dirty quick. I will never wear horizontal stripes. Diagonal or vertical are ok.

    I’ll never eat liver or pate.
