I wound up working most of the morning and afternoon, then left the office for a 4 p.m. hair appointment in Soho. Now it just plain would have been rude of me to go there and not go to my favorite store, right? Right. As it turns out, they were having a crazy sale. AND, somehow, they talked me into buying something I never, EVER thought I'd ever want to wear. . . skinny jeans.
The guy brought me a size 29, and when I saw them, I though -- Oh boy. This is going to be the struggle of a lifetime and I'm going to look like 10 pounds of X in a 5 pound bag after all of it. . . but they fit. And I liked them. (I still have such a hard time understanding how big an article of clothing should be to fit my body -- I can't eyeball it very well at all.) I wound up getting a new dress for work too (navy sheath) and a pair of black pants (size 8) too -- all on serious sale. I also came really close to buying a black Alice & Olivia cocktail dress in distressed velour that had a zipper that ran the entire length of the back (meow!). I decided not to get it because I thought I might get arrested for solicitation . . . LOL! HOWEVER, when I saw that it was a size 6 -- a size that I didn't even wear in HIGH SCHOOL, I kinda wanted to get it. (Don't let me get too excited. . . the material was stretchy and it was pretty tight. . . but it did fit.)
Skinny jeans, skinny jeans. You no longer terrify me!

You look great in those skinny jeans and not many people do! But you're definitely pulling off the look. You better go out there and totally flaunt it!
All I can say is that you rock those pants!

You look absolutely fantastic! Do you have a pair of high boots to pair it with? I ditto the comment that you don't look as if you ever had a weight issue. I am being banded tomorrow so just beginning my journey. Your blog is so inspiring and the first one I read that made me feel like I could do this! Wishing you all the best for a wonderful holiday!
