Over the last month I’ve been in the process of updating my wardrobe. Since last spring I was preggo, most pieces I had in my closet are either the few tops I bought last spring to accommodate a growing bump and everything else was from multiple seasons past. There were several items on my checklist that I have been slowly crossing off (thank goodness for an accumulation of gift cards that I had been holding on to until I could decide what I wanted to do with them). One of these items was a pair of light wash jeans, preferably in a boyfriend style. For over a year I’ve had my eye out for a pair of non-distressed boyfriend jeans that didn’t fit me in a way that looked like I was wearing “mom jeans.” I knew what I had in mind but couldn’t ever seem to find anything that matched my criteria. Then I came across this pair of jeans at Gap and just like in life, the girlfriend came through. What I liked about these jeans from the moment I tried them on was that while they have a relaxed fit, it isn’t super exaggerated. I’m a fan.

Do you have anything that you have been searching high and low for but just can’t seem to find?

White jeans have been the one item I can’t seem to find…but I’m determined this year haha!! Love your spring outfit! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
As much as I like the jeans, I’ve got to admit most of my attention went to that gorgeous tank top – it’s the perfect almost-racerback fit! 🙂

I love those jeans on you! That is actually exactly what I’ve been looking for too. I love the idea of boyfriend jeans, but I can’t wear the distressed kind at work, so I’d love a pair that looks relaxed but still work-appropriate on casual days. I tried a pair of Gap’s girlfriend jeans, but the pair I tried wasn’t quite right. It was a while ago though, so maybe I need to go back and try again–love these!!
Such a pretty look! I love the jeans and that pretty swing tank!
Boyfriend jeans are so comfy. Love them on you!
Thank you for hosting and hope you are having a fab week!

The girlfriend jean is my favorite, as boyfriends tend to be too baggy on me. I love these jeans on you, and make a perfect spring outfit with the tank and flats!

Also—FYI, the link to your bloglovin under the #1 link up rule seems to be broken (at least for me it was)
Just like you I have yet to find a pair of BF jeans I like. I might have to check out this Gap pair. I also love that tank by Old Navy. I need it lol. Looking breezy and beautiful, Erica.
This week’s current, brand-new linkup is live (a day early). I would love for you to join it. Thank you. Ada. =)

Oh I love the girlfriend jean…I don’t have a pair, but think I might need to get one. And I always see people with such great top finds at Old Navy but I never find anything! How about any time you get something just get one for me too 🙂
They’re perfect! Great fit/silhouette. Love this look!

The jeans look great… so happy you found a pair that you love!!! I’m all about great fitting denim!! Have you ever heard of Jag Jeans? I’m linking up with them all week… and they have some really great stuff!! I’m very surprised, because I have my usual go to stores… but then they reached out and I was like… “yeah.. okay… I’ll try…” glad I did! Can’t stop talking about them now! Lol!

I think jeans in general are hard to find. I tried boyfriend jeans, but they were too overwhelming on me. I think the slimmer fit you have is perfect! I think I need to get myself to a Gap!
Love these, very cute pair of jeans. I have yet to find the perfect pair.

I’ve been meaning to try girlfriend jeans – these are so cute on you! I’ve been looking for a floral cardigan, but I can’t seem to find the right one!
What a great casual, blue look. I love blue tones – I think they look so flattering

Your denim look super comfy and love the wash too! Gap has really been stepping up their denim game lately! I need to stop by, I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans.

Thanks Jill! I hadn’t bought any jeans/pants from Gap until recently and now 2 of my newest pant purchases have been from them.
Thanks Carrie!
That’s funny because a lot of the gift cards I accumulated were from when I was preggo too! Congrats again on the baby!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I really liked the white chinos at Loft that Brooke wore last week! They weren’t all see through like a lot of white.
Thanks Rebecca you too!!
Thank you Tatiana!
I just love the boyfriend styles! They instantly make us so cool! U look great in this relaxed look!

Oh I love it! The tank is sooo cute too! I have been searching for a moto jacket that accomodates my bust for YEARS. Every one that I try on is fine unzipped… but not so much zipped at the top. WHOMP! XO – Alexandra

I love Gap jeans, I can totally see why you found the perfect pair there! They look great paired with that lovely floral top. I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of distressed overalls!

Love the jeans! I feel like girlfriend jeans are so hard to pull off. I always struggle to find a pair that aren’t too baggy – these are perfect! Gap definitely knows their denim.

You are the sweetest ever and always know how to brighten my day 🙂 Thank you so much for all your kind words!! xoxoxo
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you! One of my fave pair of jeans that I wear all the time are from AEO
Thank you!
Yea, maybe they changed things up! 🙂 I can’t remember if I had tried their gf jeans before.
What a gorgeous place for these pictures!!

Thank you, Alice!
Thank you so much!
ME TOO!! I’m currently trying to update my jeans because I have literally been wearing the same two jeans for the last 3 years and they are starting to wear out but the reason I haven’t updated them in 3 years is because its so hard to find jeans that fit just perfectly!!!
Thank you!
Seriously!
Thank you! I like how relaxed they feel.
Thank you so so so much for letting us know about this! I let Brooke know and we are working to figure out what is going on. 🙂
Thank you so much darling!
lol aiight girl 😉 Yea I love Old Navy tops because they aren’t super expensive. Especially nowadays when I’m getting spit up on all the time, thats a major plus.
Thank you, Mary! 🙂
Thank you sweetie! I had not heard of them until I saw your post the other day. They looked great on you (which I’m sure isn’t really all that difficult) so I may just have to check them out because I really am in the market for a pair of light wash skinny jeans.
So hard! I agree – it was so hard to find a slim fit. They always were baggy on the butt or too much in the knees.
I’m still on a mission to find a pair of skinny, medium wash jeans and have been unsuccessful (same problem I had with the boyfriends, everything is distressed).
Thank you sweetie! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 I got this bag a couple of years ago at Aldo on sale for like $20. They had light blue too and to this day I still wish I just went and bought the light blue one cuz it was such a good deal!
Thank you!
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you! Me too – I hadn’t had any jeans in this color wash before these.
Thank you for stopping by! 🙂
lol I know especially when they are worn with a pair of heels. Thank you girlie!
Thank you!
Booo that stinks! I have that problem with it comes to my butt and skinny jeans. If they fit my butt, then they are usually loose in the knees. Good luck in your hunt!!
Thank you so much! Ooooo very cool! Those would look fun on you!
Thank you 🙂
Yea it really has been a struggle! So far these have worked out quite well. 🙂
Thank you!
Thank you, Paulina!
Thank you, I’m really into the soft pastels 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Finding a good pair of jeans can be a struggle – especially boyfriend jeans!
