This fall, I've been determined to find my skinny jeans that look good with my non-size skinny self. It wasn't easy. There were many a pair that looked like a was sporting mom-jeans or so tight, I couldn't even think about moving. My trick was to find a pair that was just inbetween straight leg and skinny. Don't be afraid to try on different sizes and if you've got hips and and a bootie, keep your skinnies dark with no extra details like whiskering or extra pockets at your hips.
Here's what I found and like:
Target's Converse Skinny jeans - these are a little less skinny and little more straight. They do have a little bit of wiskering detail, but it's not too noticable. These were the most affordable option that worked for me.
Gap Always Skinny - these were the first pair of skinnies that worked! I had heard the praise of these, but tried out all of my less expensive options first. Also, as a former Gap employee, Gap's dark wash jeans stretch out a ton. Always get the pair that feels too tight in the store because they will stretch and stay that way until you wash them.
AG Stevies Cords and jeans - LOVE these! The cords are so soft and comfy and the jeans are cute. Too bad that these were the most expensive option for me.
I can't wear skinnies with just a t-shirt, layers are a must do. But, it I did it! I can now confidentally wear skinny jeans! I like to wear my skinnies with flats but now that the weather is suddenly cold, I'm in need of some cute winter shoes. Actually, I don't really have winter shoes unless you count my old Uggs or my dressy boots I wear for church. So now I'm on a new quest to find something cute and warm to wear with my skinnies that are not Uggs. Suggestions welcomed. So how about you? Do you rock the skinnies?
PS: This is a good read about how to be a mama rockin' the skinnies.
