(I've been watching Friday Night Lights.... lol)</p> <p>(Shannon, I can't believe we didn't see each other on the road!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720687 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:45:28 +0000 CindyH 720687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ClaraT, I had read some rave reviews on blogs about the Target colored skinny cords (fit no. 6), they were comparing them to some Anthropologie skinny cords. So, I had to go investigate. I tried them on a couple of times before committing to them (why was it a struggle at just $23 I don't know), and I am still not sure about the color. They are described as green, but really are more of yellow/green. Anyway, they really fit nice and are very comfy! </p> <p>So, I really felt I needed some skinny jeans. I ran over to the Gap Outlet (10 minutes away for me whereas the Mall is over 45 minutes) and tried on some skinnies. Hey, I was there buying some new jeans for my son who grew like a weed, why not try some on - right? I tried on the Premium Skinny jeans. And, I was nervous and scared after I brought them home thinking, 'what if I can't pull these off?'. </p> <p>Thus, began my search for a review of these jeans. Which led me to this site! </p> <p>I washed them this morning, put them on this afternoon and I can say they really are comfy! With AAA discount they were just over $40, so I am not sweating about this purchase. However, it is a good start in the crossover to skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720528 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 20:42:40 +0000 Irene 720528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now you will have to get a shiny pair, you can also go for crazy prints... just keep it going lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720525 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 20:40:07 +0000 Inge 720525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Nancy!-)</p> <p>I know from experience what a difference it can make. I still love bootcut jeans, but mainly blue and white. I had a pair of black bootcuts that I just wasn't wearing, took them to the tailor to be transformed into straight-legged (skinny-ish) jeans and all of a sudden I loved them again. Wore them lots last Winter and will be doing so again this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720522 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 20:37:22 +0000 deb 720522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ClaraT, I like the Jag Jeans brand. I have several pairs and find them the best skinnies in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720475 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 20:07:30 +0000 ClaraT 720475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you.

Expensive but worth every penny for comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720467 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 20:00:28 +0000 ClaraT 720467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CindyH: Skinny pants suit my figure, but comfy? Not so much. I wear them, and I wiggle when I sit.</p> <p>Please name names (or, name the brands you find comfy). I'd appreciate it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720443 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:34:20 +0000 CindyH 720443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New member here...I too have just crossed over. Huge bootcut jean fan -- but I bought a pair of colorful skinny cords that are just so comfy (haven't worn them yet). I went out and bought some skinny denim yesterday. After a quick wash I am wearing them now. No wonder my teenage daughters wear them so much -- they are so comfy too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720431 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:23:55 +0000 modgrl 720431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!

(We knew we would get you eventually....bwa ha ha...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720411 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:15:32 +0000 jayne 720411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>and scary...what will I be wearing in two years? Welcome to the skinny side, bwaaaa haaa haa </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-officially-crossed-over-to-the-skinny-side#post-720407 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:12:24 +0000 nancylee 720407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My slow, year-long evolution toward skinny/straight legs took a major turn today when I took two pair of bootcut denim to my seamstress to be narrowed into straight legs. They were too short to wear with heels, and wearing bootcuts only with heels was one of my fall wardrobe clean-out resolutions.</p> <p>SO, I now actually own MORE pairs of skinny/straight leg jeans and trousers than I do bootcuts for the first time ever. </p> <p>The power of YLF to evolve your style is amazing! </p>
