New to skinny jeans - what to wear with them?

[SarahManning]

I've just got up the confidence to buy a pair of skinny jeans. I'm very pear shaped so need to wear loose flowy tops to balance me up a bit and draw attention away from my large bum/thighs. Does anyone have any links to (preferably sleeved) summer tops and blazers or cardigans that might look good with my shape?

Also what shoes do I wear them with when its too cold for sandals but too hot for boots? I like my look to be a bit smarter than trainers but am a bit sick of ballet flats.

Hrmm, footwear wise at the moment I cuff them and wear them with trainers (without visible socks), though I don't mind the lack of smartness (and have amassed a small collection of slightly ridiculous floral Liberty Nikes). Would also probably work with loafers, or neat brogues, though again without visible socks.

Otherwise, yeah, it's ankle boots or sandals.

I am also a bit of a pear with a long torso and find Cos pretty good for tops that are long enough to not go OH LOOK HERE IS MY BIG ARSE. Eg:

Both Cos and All Saints do good longer-length knits.

I think most shoes got with skinny jeans. I wear boots, uggs, sandals, canvas pumps.
