The Pants from 1990 something are back and man am I ever glad I hung onto them. Culotte denim at its best!! Every year when my garage sale would come up, I’d hold them up and say “Do I or Don’t I sell em’?” A little voice in the back of my head kept saying...”they may come in style again and your butt does look cute in them!” Imagine my fashion delight when this Year they are BACK BABY!!!

You make this outfit look so good Andrea! I haven't quite jumped on board with wearing culottes but I do like how they look and the wider leg pant. I think it's the shorter length that I am weary about. Kind of like midi skirts. At 5'0 feet tall and already stumpy, I feel like it will make me more stumpier! I don't think that's a word but I am going with it!! I want to try the pumpkin cake you featured. It looks delicious! Happy Wednesday!

Good for you for holding onto those jeans! Even better that they still fit, lol! That's a real achievement!!! That chunky sweater is so pretty and I love the fit on you. Your front porch is BEAUTIFUL and I cannot wait to see what you do for Fall!!! Bring on the pumpkin spice baby!

I can't wait to see your front porch all decorated for fall! It's going to be fabulous I'm sure! I was just watching something last week about how 90s fashion is coming back haha. Have a great time in Nashville!!
ReplyDeleteI love that sweater with the culottes and they do look super comfortable. I love that you girls are planning another meetup. How Fun!!!!! Enjoy this weekend and hopefully fall will roll in soon. I'm not ready for winter, but I would happily take a nice long fall!
ReplyDeleteYou're so smart to save the pants, they are fabulous! I also love all your little dresses--I'm trying to wear my dresses/skirts while I can too! Your front porch is gorgeous too :)
ReplyDeleteI love the relaxed casualness of those 90s jeans, Andrea! And the white sweater is pure perfection. I can't wait for the weather to turn cool enough here to wear similar outfits! You look gorgeous, as always, my wonderful friend.

Well I learned a lot from this post! First, I want to try all of your recipes! The chili and cake sound amazing! And second, I didn't realize your house was so new. You've done an amazing job decorating it and your porch is beyond fabulous. Hope you have a great time at your blogger meet up next month!
ReplyDeleteGina || On the Daily Express
You were smart to save them! My girls love the 90's styles that are out now and would something that's authentic and "vintage" like your jeans even more. I love how you paired them with a chunky white sweater..seeing lots of chunky knits in the stores for fall. Your front porch is gorgeous and just waiting for those fall decorations. That cider pumpkin sheet cake sounds amazing. I'm getting excited for the fall flavors of pumpkin spice everything but it's super hot here too. You must be so excited for football season! Sounds like a lot of fun. I'm going to check out the Five and Travelers. Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt's not amazing that the styles come back, because that always happens. The amazing thing is you can still fit in those, Andrea!! Now that's an accomplishment!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a meet up like that. I get to meet Lana next week when we will be in Seattle before we take off on our cruise!!!
XOXO

Loving this outfit! Those jeans look great on you and it's a good thing you held onto them. I have a pair of wide leg dress pants that I kept that I'm excited they're back in style too. Not sure I'll exactly be able to get into them this fall, but maybe in February?! One can only hope lol. Enjoy all the football time and I can't wait to see your office/craft space!

ReplyDeleteEverything comes back around again :)

NO way! I love the actual throwback pants that you saved! Sometimes I wish I would have clung on to those pieces...now I am never going to throw anything away :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great in those 90s pants! I don't know that I could pull them off--I think I'd look silly! Love your front porch and can't wait to see how you decorate for Fall!
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to Travellers too, love that show
ReplyDeleteHi friend! I've missed you! How fabulous that you have AUTHENTIC 90s pants! And I love your look for the Cubs game. I'll have to read that post.
ReplyDeleteThat chicken chili sounds delicious! I love the idea of mashing the beans! And yay for your youngest to be back on the field. Hope it's a great game!
ReplyDeleteI am ready to link up Monday! And speaking of cozy, that is one cozy looking outfit! I love that you kept the pants! I am making that chicken chili asap!
ReplyDeleteOk, those pants are adorable on you! This is why I never throw anything away and have things packed up in the archives :).
ReplyDeleteLove those pants on you!! Chris does not like white chicken chili like that so I never make it but it SO good!! I also have no idea why he does not like it. If you can offer any advice on how to change that let me know haha. Anyways! Your porch is so gorgeous and how do you like that book so far? I enjoy a good thriller so I'm always looking for new ones! :-) Have a glorious day!
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world do you put in your ferns to make them grown that big and lush?! They are GORGEOUS!! I water mine every day and they do not look anything like that. Lol. Are you putting some kind of plant food in them? Watering them multiple times per day? What am I doing wrong?!
ReplyDeleteYay!! I hope you’re enjoying The Perfect Mother as much as I did!! Girl, I would SO love to have you and Jay over this weekend for our college football kick off party! I’m sure the Irish will be on at least ONE TV at some point!! And I am so happy that little Mr. can play this weekend! I hope he brings his team to victory! Love ya AND those 90’s pants!! Rockin’ Mama!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the book recommendation. Your meals this week sound really good. Loving the 90s style. That would have been perfect for Rory's 40th birthday party!
ReplyDeleteWell, you are right, what goes around, comes back around. I use to wear culottes all the time but can't even imagine it but I'll probably give in and get some. I've long since gotten rid of the ones I use to have. Got to check out that chili recipe. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI just finished the Perfect Mother and really enjoyed it! I just love your front porch...can't wait to see what you do for fall!
ReplyDeleteYay for keeping them and getting to wear them again! I am reading for all things fall food. That chili/soup looks so good as does the sheet cake. YUM!

I cannot pull off those pants but you totally can!! I can't wait to see all of your decorating!!
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for cooler temps! I have been living in summer dresses since May, and ready to bring my sweaters back out! Cant wait to see your fall porch decor and office space! I have noticed a lot of things from the 90s are coming back around this year.
ReplyDeleteOh you are going to have SO much fun; Nashville is amazing!
ReplyDeleteYour porch is so cute! Cannot wait to see you style it for fall!

Im a fan of the culottes (or guochos). Target had the best ! They were everywhere in the stores this summer but I didn’t see a lot people wearing them, but then of course in my town, everyone is old fashioned. I have a pair wide leg jeans in the closet that are waiting on a comeback!
ReplyDeleteLisa
That porch is going to be loads of fun to decorate this fall. I think I may start some fall decorating next week! May need to pick myself up a PSL to enjoy while I'm decorating. SO excited about fall! I love your side braid and this outfit is so fun and cozy, too! I have yet to get a pair of culottes. I have been craving chili lately, hope the crazy hot days stay away for now!

How about you still fitting our 90's jeans. Way to go. YES, YES, YES to a month from now being in BNA. Can.not.wait. Your pots on your porch are GORGEOUS and I can't wait to see it all decorated for fall!!! XO
ReplyDeleteOh my! I am loving your porch and those beautiful flowering pots! I tried to keep mine alive during the move, but I think my parents forgot to water them! I need to find some fall pots and pumpkins to decorate asap!
ReplyDeleteCute post! I wish I could pull off those pants...I'm sooooo short! I did get a pair of tan linen drawstring pants with a high, wide cut leg. Haven't worn them yet. They need a smallish top and I'm not so smallish yet!! Wish me luck on yet again another diet!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of summer. Your fall sounds booked! ;-D

Oh Mrs N, you're a girl after my own heart, holding on to clothes, loving stripes, even a Prince snippet tucked in there!
ReplyDeleteHow much wonder you've done with Chateau Nine in this past year. Can't wait to see you cute pink office! Hugs, x
I love that white sweater! Looks so comfy. #BrilliantBlogPosts
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe the 90's are back?!! It's the one decade that the clothes did not look good on me! BUT, my friend...you are fabulously pulling off this look and I love the comfy sweater. So good for snuggling by the fireplace this fall in your new beautiful home! Happy weekend gorgeous!! Hope it's as FAB as you!

I swear to God when I see teenagers now and they are wearing what I wore in high school (scrunchies, GOD NO!) ribbed tight striped tops (BAD IDEA) I just want to run for the hills. But at least they won't think my annual pictures were bad now huh? I need to make that cake. You've came a long way baby! Love your home! xo
