I've bought skinny jeans!!!!

[cupcakes]

They're not spray on tight, just slim and straight legged with a bit of a drainpipe feel going on. I feel very eighties throw back.
They're excellent when tucked into boots but this morning I wore them with flat, ballet shoes and feel a bit self conscious. Think where I live (the sticks) I may be regarded as stylistically challenged!
They're Gap, straight+slim. I think they're these ones but they don't look bootcut to me.
gulp!

I've got some like these from dare I say it M & S - LOL!! I wear mine with wedge boots.

do you feel strangely dated?
(v odd when I was hoping to feel v hip and cool)

My thighs are definately boot-cut kind of thighs

Not dated exactly, although I would say my jelly thighs feel a bit better in them!!

The funny thing is my thighs do look better in them than in the bootcut. weird...

Yes it is weird. I think as well I don't feel dated because I wear them with boots. Although I love footwear I am not really a shoe person and can't bear it when jeans finish then there is a gap then a shoe. Boots from now until about Mar/April then flip flops/birkie type things until next year at this time. IYSWIM

black slip on shoes, leather but a bit ballet shoe styled. Sound yucky but v chic.

Now there's a thread title you'll never find was started by me Twenty years ago - yes - but three children later - er...no

OK

I am style challenged, WTH are skinny jeans, the picture din't give much away.

Please.............pleading emotion

I know the ones you mean Cupcakes, I could possibly do them - Office (at our favourite new haunt) have them in silver and gold - tres chic!!

Eeew, no, I'm sticking to boot cut I'm afraid. Better for pear shapes.

mmm, yes - new Office...

I normally wear long and lean which is an excellent shape for me. These are a bit lower waisted ('ultra low') but the bum and thighs feel the same (although look better). Legs are same length only straight down.

and they are a lot better when tucked into boots as there is no excessive roll of fabric hanging round your knees.

have just bent over and been assured there is 'no crack'

will have to wait and see about the knees.

Oh I don't do the tucked into boots look, but then again I didn't wear ponchos either
