So lavender jeans - what do we think?

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I am loving this look and have seen similar in new look/topshop - anyone going to try it this spring?

Oh and I'm not 18 or 5ft 10 before anyone says that I need to be to wear them

Same here Lizzy. I could not show my arse in those. Woudl look like a lilac space hopper

Well am on strict diet as have school reunion in about 8 days so was worried the lack of food was sending me even more mutton than usual.

I am going to wait for the top shop ones to come back into stock and then order.

My bum is ok - its tummy and muffin top that are my problem areas.

Love them, somehow a fresh take. Tempted, even.

They have them in uniqlo too

Lizzy - definitely! And as long as we stop listening to the FALSE MESSAGE OF LETHARGY! Everytime I have to choose between stairs or the lift I hear her screaming that in my head!

I have jade green skinnies and cherry red staight leg jeans. Love them and get loads of compliments when I wear them.

I am 43.

I agree age has absolutely nothing to do with it. But a cottage cheese arse is not going to work that look

Cyb, my colleagues were laughing t'other day when I descibed my derriere as two tesco carriers full of cottage cheese.

They have never seen the full horror, I am mistress of disguise.

Apparently those exercise bands are the answers to all our arse problems. I have three, in varying shades, sitting idly in a drawer

Wow they are nice!
I'm
19 and havent got a pair lol.
I do want a pair of coloured jeans pastel blue or red maybe. Hmmm.

P.s
My mums 40 and wears converse lol.
Oh and toms.
And VOI

Lol

I've got one of those, cyb. It's wrapped around the box of Christmas tree decorations because the lid wouldn't stay shut. Very useful. Not going to have much effect on my behind though.

I'd look like Austin Powers in lavender jeans

I was reading about those bands today, promises an arse like a supermodel apparently.
That would look wierd if the rest of me is still plumptious though, right? A pert bum with humungous hips and thighs, bit of a waste.

I'd avoid the pastels....my nanna loved a pastel ensemble, round neck jumper, matching (or occasionally a complementary colour) cardigan AND crimplene slacks

Peacocks also have a LOT of these jeans in jewel colours.

I Already have a supermodels arse. And a hideous muffin top. But i heart lavender....

With a supermodels arse - no one will be looking at muffin top.

Was at a denim thing last week where they said actually muffin top sign that your jeans fit well - yeap and I am so going with that view

Catsmama yy the Peacocks ones are a tremendous range of fab colours and cheap but did nothing for my flubberous legs. Like worse than nothing. I can do Uniqlo and Levi demi curve skinnies fairly acceptably but these... not happening. Try 'em if you have better sausages for the skins tho gals.

I like that theory mrs CB
If only i had a supermoggels face to match my arse...

Mine were from peacocks, skinnyw ankle grazers in electric blue, £16!

I love them!

I have bright purple skinnies already. I quite fancy a pair in a pale yellow or apricot.

I'm loving the wedges with the skinnies - Nice!

I don't know why people think that the look in the Donna Ida link is too young. I don't see many 18-year-olds dressed like that. It is surely a late 20s and above look? Or am I missing something?

Maybe it just depends where you live. Here all the teenagers wear coloured jeans and snoods.

Love them. A great alternative to the white jean. I would wear them-in fact..... no, I'm not buying spring stuff yet... Can just imagine them with a skinny stripe navy top and battered Superga's....and do like the Donna Ida website.

Right so wore red skinnies today and was complimented in the playground on them but DH very unsure. But this is a man whose idea of a style icon is Kate Beckinsale in some dodgy vampire film I was forced to watch the other night

So as I have a voucher for Donna Ida - have ordered and will see. Have a feeling that paler denim needs to be a bit thicker than the New Look ones.

And on the subject of new look - its such an irritating shop in that actually the cut of their stuff is often really good like my aged pleather jacket and these red skinnies but the quality is just so poor. I mean I had to take the scissors to areas where you don't really want scissors near as there were threads galore.
