Found: The Perfect Skinny Jean

I've always been given a hard time about my jeans never fitting right.  I don't know about you, but I hate that feeling of being "squeezed in" so much that I tend to buy jeans a size too large just to avoid any unforeseen moments of...let's say, swellage.

That said, the whole idea of skinny jeans is scary for a girl like me.  However, the dread of finding the perfect skinny has been trumped by my love of fall boots.  We all know the two go hand in hand.

Levi's Leggings

I successfully found two pairs that worked.  The J.Crew Matchstick denim fit great for girls with short legs and bigger calves.  Downside - they're $98.  Good for you if you have that much to put down on a good pair of jeans...I had to keep looking.

Many trial and errors later, I found the the winner: Levis Leggings! The classic Levis wins again.  The price is right.  They have a higher cut (passes the butt crack test) and they fit tighter to the knees so they don't bunch when you sit and then stand up again (crucial.)  A couple days of wear and tear and my legging/jeans are still up to par.  Ladies look no further...
