Hello?
Are you all out there seeing this really cheesy picture of me on this fine Wednesday?
Yeah? K, good. What a crazy week it has been and I know that it has been rough on several others as well so I want to take a moment and say, I feel ya, times are tough and knowing what the right decisions are is even more difficult. I have a listening ear over here if any of you need it. Seriously. I will camp my blog rv right over to your place if you need me to. I would also say, give it to God daily, hourly. He can make a way.
Nowwwwwwww.......on to Closet Confessions!
This installment (hehe) is inspired by my dear sweet cousin all the way over in Kenya! Love her! Anyway (cause I know you're dying to hear this story...focus) S. confessed her love for flares to me after CC #1 (that's closet confessions if you got lost there) though, she said she had given in briefly (and maybe a little half-heartedly) to the skinny jean.
*Ping*
(that's the sound I hear when my mental light bulb goes off)
Duh-huh....the next CC should be about the skinny jean! Thank you, thank you S. for the inspiration! This ones for you be-be....(in a not creepy, you are my wonderful cousin, kinda way)!
soooo.... about this skinny jean situation.... Like I said before, I am a flare jeans kinda girl, so when the skinny jeans first came out I was a little hesitant....but! I have to say, though not at the very top of my list, they may be in the top 5 for favorite styles. Not everyone feels comfortable wearing them and many say that it doesn't fit their body type, which may be true, but I feel more people are afraid of the trend than are "unqualified" so to speak.
"But I wouldn't know how to wear them if I tried, Elena." Oh, no? well here are some tips: You can style them like I did with a loose and long-ish sleeveless (or with sleeves) top and platforms like polyvore's version only with sandals. It is really fun when skinny jeans are paired with leather (via logicalharmony.net) be it a jacket or even leather boots! I like this vintage skinny jean look via Atlantic-Pacific too....ahhhhh red skinnies!!!
Of course I had to hippie my outfit out a bit.... lol but you could easily grunge this look up by switching out for a skull ring and darker make-up or make it more night-worthy with a dark blazer!
Outfit Details:
Top: Target (on sale for $9!!!)
Skinny acid wash jeans- Target (on sale for $8!!!!)
Platforms: F21
Ring and Earrings: Target (on sale for $5 each!!!!)

How would/do you pair your skinny jeans?

I am a "scared of skinny jeans" kinda girl! haha! I always tell myself it's because when I was 11 flares made a huge come back and I was desperate for a pair! I've loved them since. I tried a pair of skinny jeans on at the store and... my sister laughed out loud! Hahah. As much as I'm growing to like the trend I think I'll have to sit it out. However, I really like them paired with semi-baggy flannel shirts :o) You look beautiful by the way!
You look great! I can't wait to get back into my skinny jeans again, they make every outfit so fab!
First, let me say that skinny jeans scare the bleep outta me! You look fantastic and I love this outfit!
If I tried skinny jeans I would pair with a blazer and tank top and then add some big big funky jewelry. I love your shoes, unfortunately I am 5'8" and look like a hulking mess in high shoes. I would have to go with boots or flats of some sort!
You look great!
I love my skinnies! I used to think I would never be able to wear them but I tried a pair on years ago and have never looked back :)
ADORABLE! I've always wanted to try skinny jeans, but never had the chance/courage. Not sure how they'd look on my hips!
However, YOU pull them off so well! And, those shoes! So awesome and fierce - you look great!
You look good in the skinny jean- I have tried them but they do not work my legs.
Your name is beautiful- and is the same as mine.
Best,
elena
I think you look bellísima! And you´ve got the face to pull of the hair do as well... my forehead is huuuuge and no matter how much I love this do, I must protect the dignity I have left. And, last, but not least....THE SHOES!!!!!!!!!! What are you trying to do to me!? I was trying to keep my mind off shoes, and my major shoe cravings....I´ve been going through a serious shoe-buying-detox...I think I would have to call this a setback...excuse me, I have to go meditate now, and repeat my shoe mantra!!!!love your blog!
oh my gracious! What sweet comments! Dont be afraid of skinnies ladies...try them I encourage you! I never thought they would look good on me either (and maybe they still dont) but I love them and thats what matters right!?! Elena-it is nice to meet someone with the same name...I have found very few of us who spell it the way we do! Claudia, gracias! I know these shoes were on my wish list forever! but super inexpensive! I have a shoe addiction tambien...maybe we should share meditations? Thanks for stopping by! I am so happy to meet all of you!
I fucking heart skinny jeans....but I'm not so skinny for them anymore lol going on my 4th child and lets just say muffin top seems to love me lol
