I’m in the market for a new pair of skinny jeans; mine aren’t as skinny as I would like them to be, and they’re also starting to fade a little. And we can’t have that.
I’m currently in love with LOFT’s modern skinnies in dark rinse. I tried them on in store last week, and I totally would have bought them except I need a petite and there was not a pair in my size. Damn short legs. They’re the perfect mix of denim and stretch, and the rise is high enough that I didn’t feel like everything was hanging out (but not so high that I felt like an SNL parody). Perfect.
Even more perfect: they’re currently 40% off online, which means that they’ll run you a whopping $35.70 plus tax and shipping. That’s almost FREE!
You’re welcome.
Want to see the jeans on a real person? Check out how Liz Stanley styled them. Super cute!
I like the look of skinny jeans, but am bigger on the top (shoulders, chest, waist) than on the bottom. Can I pull them off?
OMG, LOVE Liz’s look in the link! Super stylish.
I know I rave about them all the time, but I truly adore the Lands End UltraFit Slim Leg jeans. They used to have a slightly different name, I think? Not sure. I have two pair, in two different washes. They are super, super flattering. Lightweight, dark, stretchy, skinny. I am a true pear shape and in no way rail-thin; and yet I love how these look on me.
I love these jeans! I bought two pairs on sale after I bought a full-priced pair earlier this season. I’ve been recommending them to everyone and wearing them practically every weekend!
I got a pair (my very first skinnies! Whee!) at TJ Maxx — they look almost identical to these, and were $16. Just a thought. (Of course, yes, it took a lot of searching and trying on, being TJ Maxx, but, you know, SIXTEEEN DOLLARS.)
