You know what’s cruel? Posting old photos of a good hair day on a day that you aren’t having a good hair day. It’s a reminder of what could have been. Sigh.
This post was about to become an ode to mint jeans, but as I was looking at these photos I realized that these “ankle-cut jeans” don’t actually hit my ankles. I’m eye-balling it but that’s a good 3 inches up from my ankles, which makes them “cankle-cut jeans”. I’m not sure I would have bought them had I noticed the word ‘cankle’ on the tag. But on the other hand, I have mint colored jeans so that trumps overly long ankles any day.

pretty mint pants!

Love how you style your mint jeans. I want mint jeans but never have the courage to buy them yet.
tomato/tomaaahhto ankle/cankle, i think this is a fantastic outfit and i’m going to borrow it right away. mint + navy + tan.
i have a pair of mint cords and it has taken all my willpower not to buy a pair of mint jeans TOO because it just seems wasteful (pioneer ancestors and all are tsk-tsking in my sub-conscious) plus it is so hot in DC there might be 1.5 days in which to wear pants until october, at which point the cool color will be tomato or coral or lemon or something else altogether! woof, it’s a rough life.
I found a great pair at Target for $20…so it’s okay if you can only wear them 1.5 times! (Not the ones Kendi linked to…these ones aren’t available online, but they are in stores)
Ha! None of my ankle cut jeans hit my ankles either….just a curse of long legs.
Love the mint/navy combo!

Having mint colored jeans TOTALLY trumps overly long ankles, or cankles for that matter. I’ve been wanting a pair for a HOT minute! Girl this outfit is FAB! And remember how it’s secretly annoying that you dress SO darn well & are so darn pretty & that you’re HILARIOUS? Praise the Lord for bloggers who are actually funny! Keep it comin’ sista! Love your stuff. xoxo

You’re hilarious. I love mint jeans. Haven’t found a pair to take home yet, though!
you have so many B necklaces
Love the mint & royal blue combo. That shirt is fabulous – it looks super soft and comfy.
I think they’re a good length, all of my supposedly ankle pants hit at the same spot. Oh, tall girl problems. Love the mint paired with dark blue.
I’m so jealous of your mint jeans! I can’t seem to find them anywhere in my size! Love this combo and the flowy top is gorgeous.
I love your cankle cut jeans, no matter where they hit! 😉 They’re super cute, and I think they’re the perfect length! Be glad you’re not like me. Capris hit my ankles. hahaha
You’re so pretty! I love the colors in this outfit. That blouse looks so comfy and it’s perfectly on trend! xo
LOVE THIS COLOR COMBO. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, THAT’S HOW MY WORK COMPUTER IS SET UP, LOL. GAP JUST GOT A REALLY GREAT PAIR OF SKINNY LEGGING JEANS IN A SLIGHTLY DARKER MINT COLOR THAT I SNATCHED UP. 🙂
I love the mint jeans and how flowy the blouse is!

So gorgeous!! Love the blue & mint together…
Gonna try this out one day 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration…www.theyoungertwingirl.blogspot.com
Oh hi – I think I need that blouse – it’s perfect!
Hahaha the cankle part is funny! Who would ever buy jeans with a label comme ca! And I am in love with that top, I have a similar cut one which I now want to go put on but this blue can’t be denied as the best colour ever! And from Bloom…I’m loving this brand of yours!
Adorable! love the mint -but i’m rocking lime green this summer. All in the family, right?
http://voyage-on.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-boat.html
I just need this whole outfit. So cute!
Is that necklace/charm from Anthropologie? I’ve been eyeing it myself, and now that I see how cute it looks, I’m pretty convinced.
haha cankle cut jeans! hehehe funny
you look great! i love the colors… !
you just have such an amazing sense of style! i love your blog and love your posts.

Oh…… You think having long legs is a curse? How would you like to exchange them for mine? Bet you don’t have problem like having someone else’s armpit in your face at the END of the day on a crowded train. I tried abt every pair of ankle jeans in zara. Loved the ones with the zip details but damn it! They are all a good 3 to 4 inch longer than I would like to have them… And yeah.. I drank loads of milk..swam a lot Bulls* they work! :p long legs are great! long legs! Long legs! Long legs!

I actually like where they fall on your legs. I love the mint color and that blouse is so pretty. Love those shoes too!
xo, Yi-chia
i’d call them capris. but i feel that would be kind of mean, because…well…capris. Right? ick.
but those are cute.
I love those mint green pants. The navy shirt really makes them pop!

love the color combinations – thanks for the inspiration!
Love the royal blue with mint green! I am still looking for mint skinny jeans that aren’t over $100 and they are all sold out everywhere in the more affordable brands! Ugh! At least you have them! 🙂

I’m mint obsessed right now so I love these. I’m guessing the necklace is an accolade to your husband? Very cute 🙂

I just got these exact same mint jeans from Target last week and I was so amazed by how well they fit especially length wise. I am only 5’2″ so I always get excited when I come across a pair of pants that I don’t have to fold or hem up. After seeing this post, it dawned on me that these pants fit so perfectly because they are ANKLE JEANS. I did not realize that when I bought them and now I have concluded that ankle pants are the best thing to ever happen to shorties like me. Thank you Kendi!
So pretty and classy.

you just simply look adorable (as always!) – xox, Macs
is it odd that i just want to give you a huge hug? Youre so adorable! Im really craving some mint jeans. I have so many things that would look good with them! Im glad you posted where you got this pair! Theyre the right shade. Btw, love your little doodles on your pictures! So unique and cute.

I always feel a bit off in ankle pants, maybe because I feel like I’m wearing too small of pants aka “cankle-cut”. HA i may just steal that new term and use it as often as possible.

Basically, I’m ditto-ing Tania’s comment. Couldn’t have said it better!
Haha, I’m in exactly the same camp. All ankle cut jeans are cankle cut on me. o well. They still look super fab on you! love this outfit 🙂
I love the shoes & bracelet… the whole outfit is comfy, cool, cute!
love it all – you are just TOO gorgeous!!
sarahsavvystyle.blogspot.com
I always have this problem. Being 5’11 isn’t as glamorous as it looks sometimes! x
I tried some ankle crops on the other day and they barely went over my calf muscles. And in a skinny fit, it was not flattering 🙁
Even though they may be “cankle-cut jeans,” they’re still looking pretty fabulous on you!
Your smile is beautifulI! I think you rock those ‘cankle’ cut jeans just fine. On me they’d probably just plain old skinnies since I’m such a shortie 🙂

Really love the mint green ‘cankle’ cut jeans! I was having a hard time finding a pair. Will definitely have to stop by Target and see if I can find a pair. Ty Ty!

Love the top, 🙂
I actually love that length on you! And the color combination is to die for (I just accidentally typed “dye” and almost left it…). Cute shoes, too!
http://www.ohshedabbles.com
love your outfit and so jealous of your canckle jeans – can’t find a perfect pair :-/
happymedley.blogspot.com
That blogs is very pretty! I can relate with your good hair day envy. Mine is curly and has a mind of it’s own!
“Everyday” in your blog title should be two words: “Every day”… Common misuse, but they are used for different purposes.
love it ALL. even your cankles.
Love the color combo! Mint is my new obsession.
http://www.jeansandateacup.blogspot.com
Love the outfit! those mint jeans are gorgeous.
And ankle cut jeans are often too short for me too… in fact they’re usually capri length.

Love this whole oufit! Will be buying the mint jeans from target soon! Just bought the red ones there and posted about it. http://www.adryonthedaily.wordpress.com
Love this outfit!
If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have never noticed how short the ankle-cut is. 😉

LOVE those jeans…I’m literally running to go buy them. And by running, I mean walking quickly and driving in my car because I’m wearing heels, duh. 🙂 So cute!
Do you know the power you have? I bought that Melie Bianco purse because I saw you carrying it one too many times and decided it would be my next purse! I hate purse shopping, so much so that I will carry the same purse for like two years, at which point, said purse will become worn out and I will be forced to shop for a new one. I’m quite happy with the choice. Thanks for showcasing it!
I have the same problem you have! I am 5’10 and it’s rare things hit me in the places they are suppose to! Still looks cute on you though!
ha, i literally snorted – as i was taking a big bite of a pb&j sandwich – when i read “cankle-cut jeans.” can you please pass on to me your awesome sense of humor and writing style? oh, and your closet. that, too.
Well, at least these pictures show that you can rock cankle-cut jeans! 🙂 I certainly can’t…they all look like capris on me and I am SO not a capri girl! 🙂

the mint is pretty, but i’m all about the blue, it looks like the perfect shade of floaty blue blouse!

I have the opposite problem, Kendi. I have to buy ankle cut jeans so they’ll be a normal length on my short little legs 🙂
Love the blouse! So pretty!

Love your sense for color combos. Also, the pant length looks fantastic on you, in my humble opinion. Thanks for all the inspiration you provide here. Love your looks and enjoy your cute personality. 🙂
That top is so dreamy for a navy blue colour & I love it paired with mint jeans.

um, i don’t wish to alarm you but i LOVE this outfit. oh my gourd, i needs me some mint jeans. ridiculous.
Seeing gorgeously styled mint jeans everywhere is driving me crazy – I’d like to snap up a pair but I’m on a shopping ban (for my 30×30!) so have to restrain myself… 😉 Great look!
Life Etc
I have a shirt similar to that from H&M! I never thought to pair it with mint… I like! I’ll have to try that out.

Love the mint paired with the blue, it’s a very lovely color combination.
Um, right. The mint jeans are nice (length be darned) but it’s the deep blue top that steals the show. That color looks great on you. I like the gold necklace against it too: a timeless combination.
I think having mint colored jeans totally trumps their length haha

#tallgirlproblems …I’m sorry. I don’t even have a twitter, I swear!
But seriously this happens to me all the time. This is why I pretty much only buy 36″ inseam jeans.
Such a cute outfit. Love it. Thanks for the tip on Payless shoes. I had all but given up on them until this post : )
That shirt is absolutely perfect. And the mix of the mint with that dark blue is so unexpectedly wonderful.
I think Navy blue is YOUR colour!!!! You look stunning in this simple but yet chic outfit!!! Kisses from Greece!!!
I love that flowy top! Curious, can you by Bloom items from your store online?
Really love the colors of your outfit, the blouse is so wonderful and flowy! 🙂

Mint colored jeans are the shit! I just wore some yesterday and I think they’re my new best friends. The only unfortunate thing about them is you can’t wear them every day because everyone will know…or can you?
Cankles or no cankles, those jeans look great! (no cankles in your case)
You do great color combos. I’m not sure I would have put those together but I LOVE this whole outfit (and your hair looks great too!)
U continue to impress with ur outfits
love the casual look!

that bag and the mint jeans are so gorgeous
I want mint colored jeans!!!
And I completely understand the whole cankle-cut jeans. I’m 5’9 so those ankle jeans do not look the same on me as someone shorter, but I figured I’d just go with it and embrace it haha.
Lovely. Perfect simple outfit.
Lovely colour combination!
beautiful hair day! and its getting so long already!
great photos, great post! and happy weekend 🙂

Would love to see you do a tutorial on how you fix your hair. I was thinking that this was a great hair day too even before I saw your comments. 🙂
I have the same jeans and have the opposite problem, not one bit of my ankle shows. Still, I feel the same you do, I have mint coloured jeans. Love your colour combo!
I love this outfit! The color combo is fantastic and these mint skinnys look great on you! No worries about the length:-) I can’t find the perfect pair in mint…everything I like is either sold out or too pricey.
Gosh, I am so into that blouse. I could live in silk blouses each & every day!

First of all, you DON’T have cankles. Second, I am tall and some ankle jeans hit me in the same place. It doesn’t bother me because there are so many pant lengths on the streets these days.Third, if pant leg isn’t too tapered I might fold it up to make the length shorter on purpose. Fourth, you look great as always.
Ironically I have mint-colored jeans that are about 3 inches too long! If only there was some middle ground!
