Stop reading and go directly to Hautelook.com. Habitual denim is clearing their skinny jeans. Quickstyle! Most of the washes shown are not trending, hence the ridiculous price. This season, it's dark denim or onyx as I show with Habitual's velocity jean pictured above. If you have read my book Closet Control (Sterling Publishing) then you know you can steal a pair at Hautelook.com and simply dye them indigo blue or jet black. A couple of packs of Rit dye at your supermarket and your washer or an oversized pot.
Skinny jeans are a double entendre for women. If you think you are skinny or want to be skinny than you own the skinny. If you think, NO WAY you are NOT skinny or your legs aren't skinny, you aren't even giving the skinny a try. The use of the word skinny just describes the bandwidth of the leg.. The skinny jean isn't going anywhere. No longer a trend but a staple. At these sample sale prices what do you have to lose?
Style tip- If you own more than 4 pairs of skinny jeans you do not need another pair. It is very normal to keep buying a shape that you love over and over again. Back pockets and washes are the simplest ways to update your skinny jeans. You can simply take the stitching out with a seam ripper and as I write above dye last season's wash to this season.
Double style tip-No multiples. Do not keep buying the same shape in several colors. In your denim wardrobe you can own two of the same shape only for the "in the laundry" factor.
Triple style tip-skinny jeans tucked into high heel boots, not so much. quiet down last season't look with a more organic, apres ski style boot.
quadruple style tip-Always wear a bigger proportion up top. The focal point for your viewers eye is your legs and whether you love your legs or not, you need this proportion up top for balance. Today's trends are not showing everything at once. It is a quieter sexy and in this example, styled correctly, you are rocking your legs.
Final tip-Heels are your legs best friend. wear them with the skinny and you will feel sexy like a rock star sexy.
On the heels of yesterday's Slumdog post. Statement earrings will be replacing Statement necklaces. As Spring approaches, earrings become relevant. Today's pick is from Vicente Agor. Set in 18k gold, this is a pair of earrings to invest in. I love the spacial quality of this earring. It has all the characters of positive and negative space that I always write about. Whenver you can get to your skin from the beautiful and edgy square 18k finding, you have an architectural winner. Add the crystal drop at the bottom which adds light to your skin tone and this earring is a slam dunk.
