Thank you, ladies. Your kind words had me smiling all day.

Inge, I think I was a punk rocker in another life. I am *so* attracted to punk stuff, especially if I can mix up the look with pearls.

Maya, these zippered skinnies happen to be skin tight which makes my legs look curvier than usual. They are by J. Brand, which is a slim, snug and straight fit. Zippered skinnies by other brands are not nearly as tight.

Crutcher, skinny jeans are more tapered at the hems than straight leg jeans. The side seams fall “straight” down from the knee to the ankle. Straight legs are still more tapered than bootcuts which flare out a little.

Olar and Danja, my yellow low heeled pumps are from Nordstrom several years ago, and the buckled booties I bought in London several years ago too. I wear my shoes till they fall apart because they’re so hard to find.

Joy, the ruffled blouse was a Hong Kong purchase.

Tam, I haven’t seen black zippered jeans yet, but they are bound to turn up.

You indeed look fab! I know we’re talking about the jeans, but I really love those blazers, which is a ’40s and ’80s look I can totally get behind. And the jeans look great on you.

I love the zipper on these types of pants because they make it easier to slip your skinnies on and off. however, i must say i prefer to keep them fully zipped and kinda scrunched with flats, but slightly unzipped with ankle boots or say, a heeled oxford. just my personal preference. but you look fabulous!!

Gosh Angie, you look amazing!!!! I hunted around for a pair of zipped leggings on the weekend, but I thought the zips looked cheap and plasticky on the pair I found. Seeing how good you look has made me think perhaps jeans rather than leggings would be the way to go. Don’t suppose you have seen any in black have you??

Angie, you look so fab in this that it’s even inspired an oldie like me. I actually tried on some of these at Kohls junior dept. (on sale right now) just to see how they looked and, to my eye, I think they created a wonderfully long-legged look. These had a really low rise and I’d rather find them with something higher plus finding the right pieces to wear on top, so it might not happen. Can you tell us where you found the ruffled black top in the first photo?

Angie, I love your look in each of the pictures…Skinny jeans are just made for you…Please forgive me if I am asking a question that may have been answered in detail somewhere else, but here goes…what is the diff between skinny and straight?….Is one perferable to the other fashionwise?….Does one fit certain body types better than the other or are both accessible to all if you find the right cut?..
I love the look and am going to Nordies next week to look…

Love love love the look! If I can find a pair to fit my size I’m definitely jumping on the bandwagon!

I absolutely adore both of those black tops as well. Beautiful.

I love it! I, too, reminisced about those zippers. I love these looks – they definitely make me want to give the jeans a try. I, too, love those yellow shoes!
