The Skinny Jean for the Not-So-Skinny

The Skinny Jean for the Not-So-Skinny
The skinny jean was the best thing to happen to me since sliced bread. Hm. Actually, the skinny jean is better than bread, sliced or unsliced. There's nothing as good-looking as a skinny jean with a ballet shoe. It's super flattering, and I say that as someone who's not particularly skinny myself.

I have a friend who always looks dynamite. We all have a friend like this: someone who is effortlessly fashionable who, even when she's in Sunday sweats, looks like she's ready for a fashion shoot.

It helps that my friend is very beautiful and incredibly petite in spite of the huge amounts of candy she puts away on a nearly daily basis. Oh, and she's a great person too. Sigh. Well, she gives me something to aspire to.

Anyway, she showed up to a movie date one evening in skinny jeans, and I noticed for the first time how flattering they are on the leg. How they forgive a drapey shirt (a safe choice when you're carrying a few extra pounds), and how they make a pair of ordinary legs like mine look, well. svelte.

I went pronto to the True Religion store and bought a pair.

Big mistake. I only bought one! I never take them off. So this weekend I'm on a mission to purchase more - lots more, several pairs more.

Outlet mall, here I come.
