If you want to wear a skirt with this top, go for a white denim pencil skirt. Anything poufy or a-line will make you look like a snowman. Speaking from experience.

wow amazing suggestions! I have never seen embroidery like that on jeans. must explore ā¦
Yes, it is the rise of the waist that seems to make all the difference. Definitely more flattering for me.
Iād wear cigarette pants (I think thatās what theyāre called) with that top. It is so cute, btw.

I went to the mall on Saturday and saw that our Sundance store has now closed. I used to like to go in and try on the things I liked in the catalog, but Iām not surprised that they closed. The store was never very busy and the staff (pre-pandemic) was terrible at customer service. Still I hate to see it go from our mall.
I want Soozie to be my personal shopper.

@ShamrockLotus While I do not own any of the pants I linked too, I do have embroidered jeans!
@showmom858 I wasnāt even aware that Sundance has retail brick and mortar stores. I do shop their catalogue (though it aināt cheap) and have for years. I do all my clothes shopping online actually (or with catalogues).
Iāve never had embroidered jeans but will be on the lookout when Iām ready to replace the huge stack of jeans I currently have.

@soozievt Below is a list of their stores. They closed the one I used to go to in San Diego, but it looks like the are opening one in Palm Desert. They donāt have too many locations.
Interesting. There is a Sundance in Park Meadows Mall south of Denver, not too far from my daughter. Maybe I will have to visit some time, before they close too.
@showmom858 Oh! That explains why I have never seen one of their stores as I have always lived in the Northeast or Middle Atlantic States. I used to go to Palm Desert yearly as that was my parentsā second home, but they are no longer living and so I never go anymore.
What can I say? Iām just a huge fan of the clothes at White House/Black Market?
I ordered this blouse that is on sale, and I think it is GORGEOUS. I generally do not wear these off the shoulder, and they still look great. Can do the half tuck thing to make them a little less flowy in the front.

Check local vintage or thrift shops for embroidered jeans/clothing.

conmama - I like those combos a lot - agree that a solid color of clothes underneath (either white shirt/bottoms or black) would undercut the flowiness and look very sharp.
Cute ideas, soozievt for ShamrockLotusā top! My take - Iād belt the flowy top (although it might gather and ruin the line - depends on the fabric). Agree with others - either belted or not, straight cut capris, pencil skirt, or cigarette pants (a la Audrey Hepburn) would counterbalance the flowiness and look great!
I love this top!

Seems silly to belt a flowy topāeither āgo with the flowā or opt for a different style. Flowy can be soft and romantic plus cooler.
When I saw the photos of the embroidered jeans, my first thought was, āEverything old is new again.ā I remember similar embroidered jeans, cut-offs and overalls being popular in the beach town where I lived as a teenager many decades ago. I couldnāt embroider so instead used floral and other (smiley, peace sign, Mickey Mouse head) embroidered appliques on my cut-offs in the summer.

I hear you HImom. I have tried and tried to wear flowy tops without looking āpoofyā and waaay bigger than normal (or pregnant) - without success. Maybe Iām projecting that onto others who can carry itā¦lol
