Leopard and Gingham

October 20, 2014

When an item is so versatile you wear it at least once every week you know it was a good investment. Can you tell this leopard sweater is a favorite? It truly has been an investment. Styling it in so many different ways keeps it fresh and never mundane I think. But I want to talk about these jeans today. They are Fabulously comfortable. With a hint of stretch, and a waist that is higher than low rise, but lower than high waisted...?!... they are a perfect jean. I cringe every time I see girls wearing a pair of low rise jeans and a huge muffin top. Did their mom or bestie not guide them before they left the house looking like that? Girls.... just buy the next size up and you will actually appear slimmer without the muffin top! Oy... I am so glad I didn't have girls! Anyway back to these jeans. They are from The Limited and they are style #917. Dark rinse, skinny, and stretch, it's a trifecta I tell ya!

Now I will advise you to wash them the first time in cold water with a bit of vinegar to set the dye. I am not a fan of everything having a tint of blue, and this helps with the color rubbing off on your skin as well! The over dying process is notorious for this happening so take the measures first to prevent it. Also, I am 5'4 and the regular length is too long for me so I get the short.
