Fashion Find: Skinny Jeans

Actually, they're not technically skinny jeans. But that's kind of the allure of the denim legging. Yes, it sounds atrocious in theory. When I first heard the term "denim legging" I imagined something of the acid-washed Jordache variety from the 80s. But other than the fact these babies have no zipper and no functioning front pockets, no one would ever guess they're leggings.

My dear friend Kristen alerted me to these fabulous find last week, and after seeing them on her, I knew I had to have them, plus the stretchiness factor was a big plus. The a.n.a. Denim Legging is available at JC Penney. I got mine on sale for a mere $20.

Because skinny jeans are a pretty terrifying thought for a girl who does NOT have the hips of a pre-teen, I will always wear mine with boots to balance out the "junk in the trunk." And a tunic always helps too. The tunic I'm wearing today is also from JC Penney, and you'll notice the boots from yesterday's blog!
