Yesterday I did something I swore I'd never do....

[mascaraohara]

...I bought a pair of skinny jeans... Still undecided on them, bought them to wear inside my new boots.

Do Gap sizes come up big?

yes, Gap sizes are sized large. i call it vanity sizing.

Well I like it.. I bought a 10 and they weren't too tight by any means.

I will have to start shopping there!

oh I beg you let's not have the discussion about Gap sizing again, last time I lost the will to live
I think gap sizes come up small actually

lol... american 6... I like it very much. Can I say I wear a 6 now?

I'm normally a 12/14 so am very pleased with a 10.

Still not sure about skinny jeans though, haven't taken the labels off.

Well I have to say, the other pair of size 12 skinnys I tried on, I couldn't get done up so probably depends on the cut!

So anyway, am I too big to wear skinny jeans? I have by no means got a boy-ish figure..

I took them round my mums and made her try them on - they looked pretty good on her so does that mean they'll look ok on me?

If you can get into a Gap size 6 you are NOT too big to wear them

If you can get into a Gap size 6 you are NOT too big to wear them!

Sorry, website is being slow, hence double post!

lol! that's an american 6 not a UK 6!!

I'm quite hippy and a little chunky round the thighs (not the flower in hair type hippy)

my boots come up to my knee cap.

I have a big-ish bum.. will I look like a duck?

Gap are generous sizes I find.

I'm 5'7-8ish.. call it 6ft in heels.

I tried in the really high-waisted trousers a while back.. you know the ones? that come up to nearly under your boobs.. I looked very duck-like in thouse I actually lol'd in the changing rooms before removing them! I've never seen anything more duck-like (excluding ducks) in my like

think you're right... really like the idea but just looked hideous.. like an 80's madonna throwback duck!

I'd like some skinny jeans but cannot work out how you get your jeans to go into your boots. I think I must have v chunky calves as my boots are all tight around my calf and there's no way I could tuck jeans into them. Is there something I don't know? or are my chunky calves just prohibitive to this fashion?

PMSL at mellowma... I had to read that twice..

I thought you meant just buy long socks (and wear them like boots)

I have this image of a woman in shoes with big thick sock pulled up to her knees with jeans inside them...
