Lol Amber. Love it .

CATCHINGMOCKINGBIRDS- which high rise skinnies do you have please?
I have a pair of navy ones from N*xt and love them-so comfortable and hold in the tum! (and don't flash your bum when you sit down!)

I have four words to suggest if you'd like to try skinnies but generally find them awful.... Not Your Daughter's Jeans!!

So very expensive (requires new mortgage), but so very forgiving and a blessed relief if you find low rise jeans give you muffin top. Actually worth the pounds (range from about £115-£130-ish), and believe me, I am not an expensive clothes buyer usually.

I have a pair of black ones from Next I think, a pair of wine coloured, really dark navy/purpley, and light blue all from New Look, and 2 pairs from Primark in different shades of blue too.

Second the recommendation for NYDJ skinnies - I have about 4 pairs and really like them. Well worth the money in terms of confidence.

Saw NYDJ in TK last week...

Very untrendy, buy strait leg or skiny if you could wear them, or chinos if you can't.

Not sure what very untrendy refers to - if NYDJ don't know if you've ever actually seen them on anyone but
they can certainly look stylish if you choose the right pair for you and put them together with the right things.

AmberN I remember that look well and I had a Dior saddlebag too! My one and only designer bag purchase ever, what was I thinking?!! Its languishing at the bottom of my wardrobe now.

dewdr0p I know what you mean! But I've got the very attractive combo of chunky thighs and sturdy calves, so there really isn't an area of my leg that I'm happy to outline in skinnies. Maybe I'm actually more of a courgette leg. [fear face]
