SKINNY JEANS.
In my head, that meant that these particular pants were by definition only for very skinny people. Made sense to me! But then I started seeing more and more people wearing them, normal people even! I was seeing "skinny jeans" in the stores in size 12, 14, 18! Ok....so really women can actually wear these things and make them look good? Interesting.
I went on a quest. I tried on several pairs of these things and struggled to find some that looked flattering both on my thighs and my butt. Plus, it was hard for me to get past the whole "tight on my ankles" thing because it went against every grain of fashion wisdom I had ever soaked in from watching What Not to Wear while I nursed a newborn and wore pajama pants and a ratty t-shirt covered in spit up.
Eventually, I found a pair at NY & Company that worked for me and I had them hemmed a bit. I believe they are the "Curvy Skinny" cut....whatever that means.

Sorry this one is blurry! This was just a comfy quick outfit for running around with the kids on a cold day. Comfy comfy comfy but not frumpy frumpy frumpy.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
