Two little words...skinny jeans.
*gasp* I wasn't quite sure that girls with my curves should wear skinny jeans...but after looking at a few magazines I realized it was totally do-able as long as the proportions were right.
Apparently the key is either long cardigans or something bulkier on top to help balance the butt/thigh region.
Also, and this is key, skinny jeans are NOT (and I repeat NOT) the same as tapered leg jeans. Skinny are skinny all the way down...tapered are just evil and unflattering...all baggy at the thighs and knees and then BAM tight at the ankles. *shudder*
So, here goes.
Skinny jeans with flats:
Skinny jeans with my favorite favorite boots:
*I need to get a full length mirror in an area of the house that
- has better lighting
- is void of the gold shag carpeting

Girl, you do skinny jeans well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification! It made me want to vomit saying the word tapered. I love your flat boots, now those, those could work for me!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful. Of which I had no doubt you would. Love your straight hair too.
I LOVE it, especially with the boots! Where are you going to wear your new look today?
ReplyDeleteThe jeans look great. Love the boots! I'm going on a diet!!! I want to wear my boot over a pair of skinny jeans too...whine, whine.
ReplyDeleteTLC's "what not to wear" called...they decided you do NOT need a makeover. rock it girl in those boots! and skinny jeans? haven't seen them in YEARS around here. you wear them well!
ReplyDeleteVery cute
ReplyDeleteLookin' Hot!!
ReplyDeleteI could never pull it off.
Hubby would call me a Jonas Brother!
i've never been a fan of the skinny jean, but they do look good with boots!
ReplyDeletecongrats on pulling off your "daring" outfit!!
Oh my, Sarah, you have me about to run out the door to get me some skinny jeans. You look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I wish I could do skinny jeans, but that is NEVER happening! :)
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that I would freak at the thought of wearing anything called skinny jeans! You are so fun and so brave! Cute too!
ReplyDelete"Is void of shag carpeting" LOL! Love the skinny jeans! I would need skinnier thighs to wear the skinny jeans.
ReplyDeleteFun post!
You look good in skinny jeans. Not sure I could pull it off but your clarification made it sound more doable.
ReplyDeleteThe gold shag carpeting comment had me laughing. We once rented a farmhouse that had red shag in one room and blue & green shag in another. Don't get me started on all the different kinds of paneling.
Skinny jeans need a skinny me.
ReplyDeleteI used to be.
You wear them well girl! Not something this 40 something is going to put on but you go - and do the boots - they look really cute :}
ReplyDeleteOK ... where is your "butt/thigh region"? You're tiny. Because I am not, I could not pull off this look with dignity.
ReplyDeleteLove the jeans with the boots.
Thanks for participating.
i think you could wear anything & it would look stylish & cute!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! You definitely pulled it off :o)
ReplyDeleteYou're rockin' it, yo!
ReplyDeleteYou really are. I'm not just trying to sound all hip and cool. Well, I am...
but it's the truth at the same time.
You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteGood work!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are right, they are skinny all they way down. I'm always afraid my ginormous calves are going to bust a seam.
I love them with the boots, good work!
Cuuuuuute! :) Love the boots!
ReplyDeleteCurves?? Like an hourglass perhaps. I thought only us truly chunky (being nice) girls used the word "curves" to describe our uh... ampleness.?.?.?. I suppose you cute little ones could call your hot figures "curves" if you want to... but man, leave us something!
ReplyDeleteI just caught up on your blog, yes, I too, have been missing! You are a hoot! I think your skinny jeans are cute, on you, even after all the pumpkin pie!!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! Okay, I'm inspired! I'm putting skinny jeans on my Christmas List :)
ReplyDeletegirl you are so cute!!! you just love to have people talkin' in tiny town, don't you? kidding!
ReplyDeleteBut there ain't no way I'm putting this prego body in a pair of skinny jeans!!!
This postpartum momma isn't putting anything but pj pants and an oversized shirt on for the next couple of weeks! Daring would be just regular jeans right now!
ReplyDeleteI love them with the boots! That is totally in...and I haven't even "gone" there yet!
ReplyDeleteI soooo want skinny jeans and boots but A. not willing to spend the money for jeans that I would only wear with boots and boots that if I bought brown, I would decide I needed black and B. my "fashion thought process" is now becoming, can a grandma-to-be pull this off. . . .? I don't think so . . . .
