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

MrsCB - will we see you on here?!

Agree that age has nothing to do with it. Do think one needs a reasonably preserved body and face to really pull off the look though (you pass with flying colours MrsCB).

Love that Dexter

It is funny though as I did feel very self-conscious and a bit 'oooh everyone look at me'.

Yes DH was a goth and honestly all the looks/women he ever says are attractive are the polar opposite of me. When I mentioned pleather leggings he was keen provided they were co-ordinated with a matching corset top - I mean seriously - has he met me?

Zembo you are too kind and just remember photos you have seen are ahem about 10 years old

My friend sent it to me a couple of months ago for some reason -I have no red trousers, neither does she! It is quite funny!
I love all the coloured jeans around at the moment, but for me, because of dd and all her friends wearing them, I feel that I would just look a bit like I was trying to copy them. If you have no teenage dd's to be compared to, then I think they do look nice. I prefer the brights to the pastels though.

What did you wear with the red jeans, MrsCB? Glad you've ordered the lavender ones. Await a report back.

I have red trouers and wore them a lot last summer.several women stopped me to ask where i bought them. they are not skinnies, more capris and tailored but not tight fittimg

I prefer the brights to the pastels too, I quite like the maroon skinnies that have been around and saw some cornflower blue ones that were nice, but the pastels are not for me.

I like them, think you could style in lots of different ways.

I wore ivory silk shirt and leopard print belt (fully embraced the rod stewart vibe) and my acne pistol rip-off ankle boots www.johnlewis.com/283938/Product.aspx

Mrs CB - Can you assure me that they do NOT fit quite like this before I order?? I don't think they are doing the model any favours there!

No they look better than that in RL - definitely.

So can imagine you're all waiting with bated breath to hear about lavender jeans

And - they're really lovely. Gorgeous colour and very flattering. Tried with my swedish hasbeens and an ivory coloured t-shirt and looked good.

What colour are your KG ankle boots mrs CB? Im strugglimg to gte my head around practical winter footwear and lavender legs

Glad to hear the lavender jeans are a success. Can I ask what coloured hasbeens you are putting with them?

For those looking for cheaper option, although not lavender I was thinking of getting these rose pink skinnies from topshop so see if my thighs can cope with pale denim. Anyone tried any Leighs?

Oops i see im confused, lavender jeans are worn with hasbeens and red ones with KG boots. So no plans to wear lavender ones until the Spring?

I love your fashion threads cb. Did you link to the jeans you got? Missed. Love lavender with silver and White in summer, great for brunettes.

I got the top shop spot trews. A bit high waisted but lovely. Want to team with cheap spikey pointed toe kitten heels in a an 80s flashback but can't find any pointy enogh

Yes Kristina - will keep lavender for spring I think. And have the black ankle boots for winter.

I've got leighs in navy Henry and really like them - very comfy and nice and high waisted for holding in purposes. I thought they'd look awful as they are super skinny but I actually think they're more flattering than baxters and the jamies do nothing for me.

Fregley - these but I had voucher so not quite so much as that.

I love Leighs too. I now have the (maternity) grey and blue denim ones and they keep their shape all day. They're almost as good as the J Brands I paid over £200 for. Wash well too.

I am too fair for lavender but am going to try the marks blue ones. Think they would be great with plimsolls in summer.Peacocks have some skinny in great colours

t shirt you need this if you like stripes but have boobs

I have electric bue skinnies. Rarely wear due to matching issues

I like with white and have old blue ballet pumps which I always dig out. I have darkish pink chinos which I wore all summer last year from zara. Lavender lovely but not on me. I still love my liz hurleys

I am getting quite into the 'coloured jean' thing....spent the winter wearing plum and tan skinny cords... I do like white skinnies too, Noddy

Lyou and me both. I love fancy trews. Ut prob is that unless you standing up at a bar all night you onlybsee the (normally) black top you match it. With
Am out tonight. Am wearing the ace ltd. Collection top I got In Sales.
