Hello my lovelies!
A rarity on the blog today...it's not often I wear jeans. In fact, I hardly own any - I have my high-waisted Miss Selfridge ones, a pair of pink ones from DP that are simply too big, and now these.
They're the Jamie jeans from Topshop, except I refused to pay Topshop prices and found these for about £7 on eBay. I figure jeans are such odd garments on me, I have yet to find any that fit perfectly and don't fall down after a few minutes' wear, so there's no point in spending a fortune on them! These are lovely and soft and properly skinny (isn't it hard to find proper skinny jeans??) so they almost feel like leggings. They are a little large around the waist though, which is irritating as it means I have the unattractive belt "lump". I'm not brave enough to try the size 12s yet though, think I might need a few more sit-ups before that happens!
The one thing that irks me with jeans is what style top to choose! I think this H&M t-shirt might be a little clingy, but anything looser makes me look, well, larger. I have visions of me rocking a Breton stripe top with a nifty little blazer over the top and nude ballet pumps, but as yet I own none of these things, so this outfit will have to occur after some hard-core sale shopping I think!
Looking back at these pictures I really think I need to start wearing heels, my legs look so short! I'd quite happily wear heels to work if I didn't have the half hour trek there and back; maybe this is something I need to master in 2012!
How do you style your jeans? Do you prefer to dress them up or dress them down?

You look lovely Dani! I've finally fallen back in love with jeans, and tend to wear them with fitted-but-not-too-fitted tops that hit on the thigh. Am yet to try Topshop's Leigh jeans, but Primark's are surprisingly good as are River Island's! xx
ReplyDeleteThe last time that I wore a pair of jeans I was 17! To be honest, I'm a bit scared of them and feel more comfortable in dresses and skirts and I am forever jel of girls who can pull them off effortlessly! These are a really good fit on you and I love the colour - you look lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI tend to steer well clear of jeans, I just feel they emphasise eveyrthing I hate about my body! You look lovely in them though!

I hate jeans aswell, but I do wear them mainly for school. But they're so uncomfortable !
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely and actually suit you so don't worry x
All of my jeans after a while tend to fall down or become loose, no matter how much I spend on them !
And lucky you ! Managing to snag those topshop jeans for just 7 !
xoxo
aww cute! glad I'm no longer there to experience your crazy jeans shopping! ;) xxx
