I may go back to get the light grey pair, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71810 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:38:51 +0000 Vani 71810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, not to be a copycat, but I picked up a pair of the stone grey skinnies ($5) while grocery shopping last night. That was the only pair they had, in any color or size. I like how they look, I'll post pictures tonight. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71728 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:34:56 +0000 Louise 71728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new ones look perfect x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71691 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:06:37 +0000 Sarah 71691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Alecia! I'm looking for voluminous tops (especially banded or smocked hem) to pair with these jeans. I've wanted the look to work for awhile, and surprisingly this is the first pair of skinnies I've put on that I actually liked. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71688 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:05:32 +0000 Sarah 71688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not really sure how long they've been at Wal*Mart. I'm pretty sure I picked up a pair at Macys (then it was The Bon Marche) quite a few years ago. The regular price is $20, so if they work you can't really go wrong.<br /> My body is still changing, so I like finding things at discounts (especially trendy items) since they won't be for long in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71687 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:05:08 +0000 Angie 71687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71686 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:04:16 +0000 Alecia 71686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, they look great. I'll admit I'm still struggling a little with my skinnies. I sometimes feel so exposed. That's probably weird since I'm fully covered but I'm not used to being in something so form fitting. I think we have similar body types and will look forward to seeing what you put together. I get lots of inspiration from your posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71679 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:53:33 +0000 yublocka 71679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely new size. What a score!!! Have Lei jeans always been sold at Walmart?? I have owned 2 pairs of Lei jeans and swore I bought them at Macys (about 10 years ago). I was a bit sad not to see them at Macys when I visited there earlier this year actually!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71641 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:22:57 +0000 cciele 71641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for new size! What a great deal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71611 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:32:01 +0000 Kari 71611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new size looks great, Sarah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71563 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:47:57 +0000 Sarah 71563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to one WM after work and they didn't have any of the jeans left. Fortunately we have another close by, and I was able to size up. Better?<br /> They had a light grey pair and I was soooo tempted, but they were still $11. ;)<br /> <a href="http://letitrainagain.blogspot.com/2009/06/white-skinnies.html" rel="nofollow">http://letitrainagain.blogspot.....nnies.html</a><br /> After comparing the photos, I definitely agree that the larger size is better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71490 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:59:08 +0000 Vani 71490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt on you Sarah, divine! You're doing great, I haven't even tried that many skinnies yet! My thighs make me go up even 2 sized sometimes. I'm going to have to look for them. They will make a good test run pair. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71471 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:08:11 +0000 Ariadne 71471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing find! I can't wait to see you in the bigger size. I agree, cobalt is a super colour for you, Sarah. </p> <p>My thighs make me have to go up sizes, too. I sympathise! You're looking gorgeous by the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71465 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:46:00 +0000 Anonymous 71465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember way back when I wore juniors sizes. They run so different than womens aizes. What is the difference in how they are shaped? I have a clue that they are shorter in the waist. I still remember my horror when I had to buy a size 15 pants and thought I was huge just because of a number. Now I know that juniors sizes run small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71459 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:31:16 +0000 Sarah 71459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes San, the sizes are 7, 9, 11, 13...and the LEI brand is juniors at Wal*Mart. I'm heading there after work to find a bigger size. I wear a 6-8 normally, but I'm wearing the 11s in the photo, and will go back to get 13s. My thighs frequently require me to go up a size in pants/jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71455 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:28:38 +0000 bella 71455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might give them a try, they look really good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71452 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:23:45 +0000 Anonymous 71452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing deal Sarah. I hope you find the pair you are looking for and work them into your wardrobe.<br /> How do you know they are juniors sizing? Is it the number is an odd like 13? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71420 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:23:49 +0000 kimlee 71420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah - I was looking at the exact same pair of skinnies at my local Walmart. I really need to purchase them and work skinnies into my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71419 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:23:35 +0000 Sarah 71419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS: Rute, I put on a pair of heels after I took the photos and really liked the look!<br /> PPS: These jeans are also in the July issue of Lucky magazine, which I didn't know until I bought the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71418 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:22:20 +0000 Sarah 71418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are from....</p> <p>WAL*MART! I went last weekend to check out the new Norma Kamali line (nice dresses there, ladies) and I stumbled across these jeans. They're by LEI...the Aubrey fit. I didn't see them online, though, so you might have to check your store.<br /> I tried on the larger size first (they are jrs sizing, which is SO inconsistent for me) and was impressed with the overall fit. I've tried on lots of skinnies only to leave empty handed. I'll go back today to see if they still have the larger size.<br /> These are the first skinnies I've tried that I've LIKED. And for $5? Yeah. :)<br /> Aaaand I got a pair of cropped leggings too. I'll be posting photos tomorrow for your review.<br /> Angie, I also love cobalt on me. That's my "around the house" tank. I do have the CM cobalt jacket, but other than that, I don't have any. I'm looking for a summer knit top that's cobalt to wear with my white bottoms. There's a lot of teal out there, and it's just an okay color on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71384 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:27:26 +0000 rute 71384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the gals. They seem too tight.. and try skinnies with heels..it will alongate your legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71362 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:55:57 +0000 Louise 71362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to go up a size in skinnies to get a good fit hip and thigh, then have a load taken out from the waistband x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71274 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:44:34 +0000 cciele 71274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I wanna know where too :)</p> <p>I agree with Angie; go up a size. I think blousy tops will look great with those pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71267 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:38:05 +0000 Angie 71267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>$5!!! Oh wow! WHERE?</p> <p>I’d go up a size for sure, Sarah. You look fabulous in cobalt blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-stuck-on-skinnies#post-71237 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 23:35:51 +0000 Sarah 71237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone is looking so fantastic in their leggings, tunics, etc...meanwhile I'm still stuck on skinnies! I found this pair recently and was wondering what you all think.<br /> I'm wondering if I need to go up a size? The waist was a bit loose on the larger size, but I'm wondering if the thigh area on this size looks too snug?<br /> They are really stretchy, and I only wore them for about 30 minutes before taking the pictures. I can already tell that I will prefer blousy tops with skinnies - over fitted tops.<br /> Thanks!<br /> <a href="http://letitrainagain.blogspot.com/2009/06/white-skinnies.html" rel="nofollow">http://letitrainagain.blogspot.....nnies.html</a><br /> (PS: The jeans only cost $5, so if they work but are too small, I'll just get the other pair no problem) </p>
