PIPM: Pretty in Pink Megan: The truth on "the skinny"

The truth on "the skinny"


I have been a fan of the "skinny jean" for about 2 or 3 years now. I absolutely love a good skinny jean tucked into boots for fall or with flats. I swear, about 3 out of the 5 days I wear my skinny jeans and Tory Burch flats to work. Recently we have had an influx of people coming into the boutique wanting to try skinny jeans, but then thinking that they look "weird" in them. People, a skinny jean is not meant to be a trouser pant. Yes, it will look weird at first, but with time you will get used to the way it looks. I think skinny jeans are SO cute on people. I have decided to share some of my favorites so that maybe I will inspire someone to try the skinny jean.

PS- have I told ya'll that I have to memorize EVERY brand, style, cut, wash, and appropriate body type of EVERY jean that we carry? And we carry about 10 brands, each with several cuts, washes, etc ... so I'd say I am well on my way of becoming a "jean expert"...

And remember, a skinny IS different from a straight leg ... and you can either get them altered to be ankle pants or let them roll around your ankles ... i personally like getting them altered better.

Okay, my new obsession: the AG stilt (comes is several washes, including black)
- This jean naturally has a shorter inseam so for "some" people they will not have to be altered ... These look SO cute on ... I love love love them.

Seven for all mankind Gwenevere
- This is like an ankle pant, it's seven's "super skinny" and they are made from organic cotton ...


J Brand "912" ... this jean is very popular with the celebrities ... I love that it has PLAIN pockets on the back ... no labels, no stitching, no nothing ... very classy and plain. They call this their "pencil" jean ...

Paige Denim "Blue Heights" ... I have a pair of these I have yet to get altered. Paige runs a little small, so don't feel depressed if you have to go up a size or 2 ...


True Religion "Stella" ... these are really cute on as well ... for someone that wants a little more brand recognition as the signature horseshoe will still be on the pockets.

Oh PIPM,I wish I could wear skinny jeans! They look so good on skinny-legged people like you! I won't even wear shorts I am so self conscious. Don't think the skinny is for LJ!

I can pull of a modified skinny jean, if that makes sense... not the super skinny kind--just doesn't work on me... sigh... I love that top you're wearing, so pretty!!

Oh my gosh.... Every fall I buy 3 or 4 "go-to" jeans, and I may need to get a skinny this year. Now I know who to ask.....You may need to help me, my dear.
