I spent the weekend in San Francisco with my sis and my gf's. We were there to run in a Half Marathon and do some shopping. It was H's birthday so Saturday we spent the day at Nike Town, Macy's and etc., looking for the perfect birthday weekend wear. H came away with some amazing pieces at Macy's, tops, pants, and too cute dresses. And I went ahead and tried on skinny jeans/jeggings for the first time. I have steadfastly avoided the style, I think I may have mentioned them in a post at some point. I am old enough to have worn them in the 70's when pegged jeans were the rage. I was MUCH younger then, could wear the style and STILL thought it made most girls (and guys) look like they had carrots for legs. Unless you are ultra-thin, the style is not for you.
However, I have now gone over to the skinny jeans/jeggings side. After trying them on in a couple of stores, I actually like them. I was amazed at how my legs looked longer and leaner in them. My gf T is not super tall and she wears them and they look great. My mind has been changed, I think I like them.
More trying on and more investigating styles and fabrics with gf's that are honest is needed. And I am not about to drop too much coin on something as trendy as skinny jeans, but they have been here for a couple years now and may stay another couple. Maybe worth it to look updated and fabulous, don't you think?

I'll say one thing about skinny jeans/leggings and why they may not just be a quick fad: they look great with boots. So, that is two looks in one, I think.
ReplyDeleteHope our fair city was kind to you this weekend!
You are quite right about the look with boots, Miss Susan. I have a pair of hi-heeled short boots and one pair of flat regular boots that would certainly do well with the skinny or jegging jeans.
ReplyDeleteThey are something to think about but I am not sure if they are a must have or just a kinda want. But again, getting the updated look might be just what I need to round out my casual clothing - but minimalist - wardrobe.
Love,
