Today, I have a white jeans try-on session to share. During the spring and summer months, you’ll either find me in a dress or white jeans with a pretty top if I want to dress up a little bit. In fact, one of my Sunday uniforms when it’s warm is white jeans and a nice top for church!
I already have one go to pair of white jeans that I love but am looking for another pair to add to my wardrobe. So, I ordered some from Nordstrom recently to try. And this post couldn’t come at a better time. If you are a Nordy Club member (Nordstrom’s rewards program), you can earn 3x the rewards points now through May 8th.
Before I get into the details of these jeans, Let me say that I am looking for something very specific for my personal wardrobe. I want some ankle length mid-weight jeans – nothing too heavy for the heat or too dressy. And I’m still searching! While these jeans were not bad, they were not exactly what I was looking for. Plus, I hope I don’t regret sending one pair of them back!

I wanted to love these jeans so badly! They are so nice and light-weight for summer. However, they were a little too see thru for me. I guess you can’t have it both ways. Haha!
It usually doesn’t bother me if you can see a little bit of the pockets showing through, and I always wear nude underwear with white jeans – no matter what! Yet, I wasn’t totally comfortable with these which is a shame because the raw hem has a scallop detail which is really cute!
The length on these jeans is also really good for someone petite who is looking for an ankle length style. They would be a cropped length for someone taller.
I’m currently in between sizes trying to lose some pounds. So, I took a gamble and ordered the smaller size. In fact, I optimistically did that with each of these jeans. The Wit & Wisdom ended up being a little small. If they had been a little less transparent for my taste, I would have exchanged for the next size up.
NYDJ Side Slit Slim Ankle Jeans

These NYDJ jeans are the ones I’m wondering if I’m going to regret sending back! They are mid-weight and not see thru. Plus, they fit the best out of the three pairs I bought.
My only hesitation was they are definitely full length on me. I didn’t see petite sizing on the website in these, and I’m looking for an ankle length jean. Plus, I would feel like I need to wear a heel with these jeans, and I want the option of wearing flats. I typically don’t need to dress up that much anywhere I go.
I also figured I could cut the hem of any of these options if they were too long. But these have a metal button at the top of the side split. So, I wasn’t sure I could trim a raw edge correctly.
It certainly wouldn’t hurt to have a full length pair of white jeans in my closet. Yet, I honestly don’t know how much I would wear them. These jeans are still fully stocked, and I would definitely recommend them! If you are taller, they will probably fit as stated – ankle length.
Good American Raw Hem Straight Leg Jeans
I’m just showing you the store image of these jeans because I could not even pull them all the way up. Ha! These run very small. I’m not sure the next size up would fit me comfortably. They are also very thick jeans. These would be a little too thick for me in the heat of the summer. However, they are good quality jeans. So, it’s a shame they run so small.
