Ah, yes, I'm sure you do.
Well my friends, can you guess what I just bought?
Yes, these are my legs
I'm not quite sure what has changed in the past 8 months,
but I've found myself actually liking skinny jeans.
Gasp!!!
I honestly never thought I'd live to see this day!
So far I like that they don't get stretched out, I like that they don't drag on the ground, I like that I can wear them inside my boots so they won't get wet in the snow, and, although I still think there are other pants that are still more flattering on my body, I don't think they look all that bad. In fact, there was actually one more pair that I really wanted to buy (and probably will). I never thought I'd own one pair, let alone two.
And there you have it! I've made my debut into the world of skinny jeans. However, don't be fooled into thinking that I love them, or that I think they are always flattering. Oh no! Skinnies have found a tiny place in my heart, but trouser jeans are still at the top of my list.
I think they look cute and I'm not a fan of skinny jeans either. Can I ask where you bought them?
ReplyDeleteMy question is what got you to give them a chance? I am curious now because I think I trust you/your style enough to actually try some on myself. Maybe. One day. When I have lost more weight. :)
ReplyDeleteEmily, I got them at Old Navy. I rarely find pants that fit at Old Navy, but I had a gift card and decided to try some. I also liked their "Diva Skinnies."
ReplyDeleteMegan, good question! I think a few reasons: 1)seeing all of my sisters and sisters-in-law wearing them all the time 2)finally reaching my pre-prego weight and being tired of all of my pants being too baggy 3)curiosity 4)desire for change 5)tired of my same old wardrobe choices.
I still have mixed feelings when I put them on, but I'm forcing myself to wear them out and see how I feel. Mike was more hesitant than I was at first because he knows how "non-trendy" I am. I think we're both warming up to the idea.
hahahaha. Can I tell you something? I knew if you tried them you would give in. and they look so great on you!!! I love love love love mine. I have like 4 pairs. Trust me, this wont be your last pair.
ReplyDeleteWanna know something funny? I met some girls in Las Vegas back in like 2005 and they were from Europe and they were wearing skinny jeans and I thought they were so so hideous!! I thought they were unflattering and they told me "just you wait, you will love them someday" and I literally thought they were out of their minds. Completely out. Well look at me now... and you. ha!
Now, I have learned to never judge someones style. If it works for them... great!
cute shoes with them. nice choice ;)
ReplyDeleteI am proud to see you giving them a shot. :) I agree with Kelly, I thought that once you tried them you might actually like them. And you totally look like you were always meant to wear them.
ReplyDeleteRock it girl!!! (too much?)
Wow, we are so twiners! I had the exact experience yesterday. I feel the same way too. I'm warming up to them, but only with flats and only if my shirt covers my bum. I don't want to be showing off too much! They look cute on you :)
ReplyDeleteI did the same think with skinny jeans and now I love them. They look great on you
ReplyDeleteha ha rachel you're funny...can't wait to see you in them. I'm sure they look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteokay, this is too funny:) I haven't followed your blog for too long so I just went back and read your previous post on skinny jeans and I just laughed (I have a cousin who still feels that way). I have been wearing skinny jeans since I got back from my mission, a few years back, and now I'm obsessed with leggings too. Glad you like them. They look really cute on you:)
ReplyDeleteoh and are these the rock stars? I've heard good things about them.
