So, I’ve been working over the last month to bring together some Spring looks for you. I wanted to focus on updating your wardrobe, reimagining wardrobe staples and finding wearable but fashion forward options for you all. For the first in the series I’ve updated the classic jean look and given it a twist by incorporating one of Spring’s hottest trends, embellishment, and more specifically pearls.
Now I must confess that on first look, my nearest and dearest (aka my boyf and my parents) thought these jeans were ridiculous… on the other hand, my very clever and fashion savvy 7 year old thought they were the best jeans she’d ever seen and wanted a pair in her size.
I know this style won’t be to everyone’s taste. These particular pearl embellished jeans are from Evans, but you can get other versions with less embellishment, just focused on the ankle area for example, if all over pearl isn’t your thing.
I wanted to stick with soft pastel tones for this look, as we head into spring it’s the perfect excuse, if you’ve been hiding in black all winter like I have, to don some fresher colours and have a bit more fun with fashion again.
I teamed my jeans with this gorgeous soft blush jumper from Elvi that also sports a pearl embellishment to the cuff, tying it all together nicely. The jumper is super soft and I love how the funnel neck stands perfectly giving the look a bit of structure. I sized up to a 24 so I would have some extra room.

I went with some trusty trainers to finish the look, I wanted to keep it casual and something you could easily wear for the school run, weekly shop or as I did yesterday, down the pub for a lovely carvery haha!
Jeans-wise, I’d say the sizing is generous and it might be worth going down a size. They have stretch and are really comfortable. I love the mid-wash colour and loose boyfriend fit to them. Although I’ve teamed them with trainers they will literally go with anything and with the pearl detail I think they are perfect for dressing up with heels and a blazer, but will also lift any casual outfit, they’re going to look awesome with something like a camo jacket and chunky boots, contrasting the delicate pearls with tough outfit details.
I’m really excited to bring you some work looks, evening looks and more spring trends over the next few weeks, so watch this space!
