I spent a good deal of time hiding from skinny and straight leg jeans after they became the "it" jeans. In fact, I didn't buy my first pair until January 2009 and I got those on clearance at American Eagle. They were a dark wash Skinny 77 jean that I got for 19.99 plus tax. I have a friend who is significantly heavier than I am and she talked about skinny jeans and how they are her favorites. I was always saying "omigosh, I'd never wear those!". I have large, muscular thighs and calves, as I played sports for years, plus I've had 2 kids. I might wear a size 4-8 (depending on the brand) or breaking it down in designer sizes, which I wear more now, anywhere from a 27-30, depending the cut/brand. (I have curves and I am proud of those curves hehe.) I didn't think I could pull off the skinny jeans and boots look, but lo and behold... I can! Not only do I pull off skinny jeans and boots, I wear skinny jeans and ballet flats, I wear skinny jeans and heels, I even wear skinny jeans with leg warmers and heels! Oh, and I totally rock the skinny jeans! I look GREAT in them, if I say so myself. Now I'm here to offer up some of my skinny jeans/straight leg jeans suggestions to the curvy girls out there =)
