my new favorite jeans?

Kate

Veteran

...or just a new box for my kitties to play in?

my goodsociety jeans order came today, and it's a good thing I ordered a bunch of different sizes and fits because only one fit well Their skinny and slim jeans have a VERY low rise (as in half my butt was hanging out!), but the straight jeans might be a winner. My main concern is that they aren't as skinny through the knee as skinny jeans, and either they don't look like 10s tucked into boots or I'm just not used to how they look tucked into boots. I will only keep a pair that looks fab with both the boots and the booties. What do you think?

Kate, I think they hang more like straight legs on you than skinnies. They are pretty on you, but IMO they are too large/baggy in the thigh and knee to look smooth tucked into boots, and I might worry that they would stretch or bag further. But I like them with booties.
Mind sharing what those shoes are? The booties are CUTE! What a perfect color to go with the earthy colors that you look so good in.
You and your kitty are so adorable.

I agree with Kari. I really like them with the booties and untucked.

Yep, better untucked...not quite skinny enough through the knee!
Your kitty is so big and furry...adorable..I love how you hold her like a baby on your hip...my cats hate to be held...but I force a kiss on them:)

That's what I was afraid of!

Kari, the booties are these: http://www.zappos.com/eric-mic.....an-leather I bought them a year ago, so I'm amazed they're still for sale, but it's good because my sister ended up getting a pair in taupe this summer.

Taylor, what's great is that she's the runt of the litter and only weighs 6 lbs, and her brother is just 9lbs (average for himalayans is 9-12lbs). They're all fur!

You are kidding...6 lbs!! She looks huge!!
I think my cats may have eating disorders.....My cats are 16 and 18 lbs!:)

Taylor, I definitely have a soft spot for giant cats (and giant dogs). We're thinking of getting either a Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest cat, or Siberian cat after these guys pass. And a Bernese mountain dog after grad school. This has become one of my go-to happy videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgl1RTM7RtY

Kate, I'm not really sure whether they can be tucked into boots or not. Since I'm a fairly new convert to skinny jeans, I'll leave that to the more experienced eyes on the forum. I did want to thank you for the link and add that your kittens are adorable! Cats do love a box, don't they?

Kate, I am too distracted by the cat in the box. Cats are too cute when they are so curious (and that is like, what? ALWAYS?)!

Agree with Kari.

Oh...your kitties are so cute!

Your jeans are pretty darn cute, too. (Not to mention the shoes). I really like them on you but agree with the others that they are best with booties and not tucked. If you can use a pair like that then they look excellent. I really like the detailing.

I'm another with booties only vote. They have to fit closer to your leg from mid thigh on down for tucking into boots. A lot of wrinkling when tucked with these. Now how CUTE are your furbabies? Aw!

Lynne

Can't comment on the jeans, but you MUST keep those boxes! By order of the cat :).

Kate

After much thought, I'll probably keep these jeans and just not wear them with boots. They look great with heels too, and I think that even with my tiny jeans collection (3) I can afford to have one pair that can't be tucked into boots. I'll just have to find some new skinny jeans next fall, because my others aren't likely to last past this winter. Thank you for all of your input!

Lynne, every time we get a new box I generally let the cats have a week with it before I decide that I'm crazy for leaving an empty box in the middle of our living room and take it away. They just love them so much!
