Fabulous Fridays: Forever Your Girl In Skinny Jeans

I was never much of a fan of skinny jeans. I thought this trend couldn’t last more than a season. I say this because I believed no one (namely me) could possibly look half way decent in them. I saw skinny jeans on skinny, younger women. So I bought bootcut, flared and wide-leg styles to match my curvy body. But that firm belief came to a crashing end when my ever-so stylish friends Lisa and Tina told me about the skinny jeans at forever21. On top of that, these skinny jeans retail for about $15, depending on level of detail. That’s a cheap wonder and a great way to try out a trend that looks like it's going to stick around for another couple of seasons. So on my first visit to Forever 21 I tried on my first pair of skinny jeans in a clean black wash and holy cow were they awesome! This rocker chic style was only $12.50 and felt like any of my designer ones that sell for far more. They were soft, lightweight and had the right amount of stretch. Even better, the waist on these jeans were roomier than I expected and could be zipped up with ease. I topped the look off with a dark grey knit top with sparkling metallic sequin and beaded trim that retails for $27.80. I’m wearing the jeans with my patent leather Mary Jane’s by manoloblahnik. And the jeans will also look fabulous tucked into high boots.

If you are already in the know about this slender style, Forever 21 has a whole bevy of cool fall washes, treatments and prints to pick from. I’m already eyeing the grey pair.
