I think you look FANTASTIC in these! They're very flattering. And you have great boots and chunky knits really pull off the look well.

I think they look great on you too. A longer top can help you get more comfy with the whole skinnies thing but the one you are wearing works well too.

I can understand your concern. I have only one pair of skinnies and it has taken a while for me to really embrace the fit. As I am a boot girl too, tucked into boots is how I like to wear them. Skinnies are so handy if you live in a wet / snowy area, as the ability to tuck into boots is also a bonus. My skinnies are super comfortable because of the stretch in them and it is probably the comfort and ease of tucking into boots that have made them real workhorses for me.

I think they look really good on you, WordLily. I have fought shy of skinnies so far, but, as with JAileen, I like them on others. I'll have to take the plunge, I think!

Makes sense., WL.

FWIW, I think a lighter pair of skinnies will work better with the boots because they create a low contrast against them.

Good point, Angie. I'm really wanting (and not finding, so far) a lighter pair of jeans! I got a pair of mid-wash, but that's the closest I've found so far, and I'm really missing the variety. (Well. I also found an off-white pair, which works for some of the original purpose of light-wash jeans, but maybe not all, feel wise.) I'm assuming my next pair of boots will be darker than these, though.
