I haven't worn it yet Angie. I did wear the waistcoat and one of my swap shirts from Tanya though. I wanted to wear it tomorrow when I go out for tea, but it's going to be 46 degrees, which feels freakishly warm after weeks of snow, slush, and 12 degree nights.

Ow, what a wonderful stroke of luck Angie! I love when something like that happens.

Thank you for giving me the permission to get them. Even though I get some new jeans here and there, my jeans numbers do not grow because I keep getting rid of the older ones. You are the inspiration of course.

I really need some black-black skinnies/straight legs. My Express ones are in awful shape. I am yet to stumble across an higher rise premium pair with black stitching on sale. I know I am not asking for lot

I liked this pair of CM jeans but I just can't get past the super high contrast stitching! It's so disappointing.

Oh, they are pretty, but I agree with you about the stitching.

I’m proud of you, Tanya. You shall soon have the best collection of denim on the planet!

Maya, does your biker fit under your red toggle coat? Can you get plain blue CM jeans?

I can get the plain blue jeans, but I liked those because they were a little bit less skinny than the skin tight CM jeans I keep seeing. Those scare me from a comfort perspective.

The biker will definitely fit under my red coat. There is actually quite a bit of room under that coat, which is good because I like to wear jackets under it.

Great! Then you can wear that tomorrow

Maya, my CMs have not bagged out at all and I've had them for a few weeks and worn them a lot. I'm pleased with them. BUT the zipper keeps coming down on the fly! I'm not sure if it's because they're tight (comfy, but tight!) or if it's the zipper itself. I'm thinking of taking them to a tailor and having the zipper replaced.

To second Julia's comment, I also am really happy with the DKNY skinnies that I got well over a year ago. They've held up nicely (especially for the price), and I haven't had a problem with them "growing" too much between washes.

That's really weird Brianna. I can't imagine why that would happen. I hope it can be resolved.

Kari, I have tried the DKNY jeans in the bootcut version and they bagged out horribly, and since I was wearing the smallest size, I couldn't size down. Maybe the skinnies aren't as bad though.

Maya - can you possibly share the brand of that beautiful biker jacket you scored with Angie? It looks amazing on you.

Maya, I have a solution for the high contrast stitching on those jeans. I got a pair of ATL jeans last year with white stitching. I wore them a few times but the stitching really bothered me. The jeans are really dark wash, so I just went over the stitching with a thick black sharpie marker. It worked great and greatly improved the look of the jeans. I know it sounds a odd, but it works!

Clever, Lucy! I did that with shoes once and it also worked. Brianna, I hope you get sorted with a new zip. Blimmin' nuisance.

I think the brand of Maya's biker is INC, Tara.
