I keep hearing about these Martha jeans.

Are they slim/skinny enough to tuck into snug-fitting Fly boots?

And are they a good fit for someone who is slim on the hips but "wider of girth" (aka bit of a muffin top)?

I wore grey jersey dress ott and a purple puff sleeved cardi, so not total cas. Dont tell Kerry

DillyTantay · 21/09/2009 18:05

not really spray on tbh
greta fo rnight out trousers. ( if they are long enough)

NorbertDentressangle · 21/09/2009 18:12

Not sure its worth the risk of being laughed at by the young stick insects Top Shop staff then.

DillyTantay · 21/09/2009 18:13

oh no really
they are
they are comfy straight leg trews
if you want to go into jeans go to new look and get jeggings

cocolepew · 21/09/2009 18:16

I tried Primark jeggings on, dear god it was like a novice butcher had made sausages, I bulged in places never touched by human hands.

Today I'm in black gap tee shirt, jeans and Crocs
I know, the shame of it, I'm past help..
plus my hair desperately needs cutting and my moustache is nearly plaitable
I must do something about it...

PacificDogwood · 21/09/2009 18:22

jeggings, nonononononononoooooo!!
So very very wrong!
They did not even look good on all the young gorgeous size 6 fashionvictimsistas at the hair dressers the other day.
Nonononono, again.

Bought a pair of work out pants for the gym this afternoon and size 14 is large.

NorbertDentressangle · 21/09/2009 18:26

jeggings!?

My legs are actually one of my better points but I think I would rather boil my own head thanks.

I love your description of them cocolepew -I'm sure I've seen you on every High Street in the UK

cocolepew · 21/09/2009 18:35

Jeggings make everyone over a size 10 look like this. Fact.

lou33 · 21/09/2009 19:00

i like mine but i hate the word

sazzerbear · 21/09/2009 19:01

sooo many people in jeggings who should not wear them in public, especially the wet look ones yuk!

DillyTantay · 21/09/2009 19:09

mine are nice

just lok like jeans tbh

lou33 · 21/09/2009 19:12

the foil ones are the worst

mine also just look like tight jeans

PacificDogwood · 21/09/2009 19:15

Yes, Dilly, I am sure yours look nice, but you probably also look good in skinny jeans ...

If of course I could find a pair in 80s acidwash on the other hand I might be tempted - not!

cocolepew · 21/09/2009 19:22

Internationale (?) have acid stonewash ones or girls.You could breath in.

Deeeja · 21/09/2009 19:50

Well, I wear maternity leggings, with knee length maternity dresses. I have an enormous pregnant belly with detracts from the fact i am wearing leggings.
This is all I can wear, nothing else fits, and they are blardy comfy.
So ner!

Deeeja · 21/09/2009 19:51

Big fat belly makes my legs look slim

TheCappster · 21/09/2009 20:08

hello am back

have been rethinking lopping skirt

am wondering if should just cut to decent length

what is the length these days

I have no idea

I might put some ric rac braid round it or summat pretend it is 'Fun Skirt' or some other semi-bonkers appliqued Boden nonsense

TheCappster · 21/09/2009 20:09

if anyone wants me I am agonising over reflated autumn wardrobe

am releasing the seal on the bags now

I will post pictures as suggested if requested I am not shy

I am in need of HELP is what I am

masonicpixiesreadthedailymail · 21/09/2009 20:10

Haha at novice butcher

I've got some jeggings. I wear them with dresses generally. From the top down to mid thigh I look like a very old lady with a prolapse modelling sunday supplement trousers. With dress and heels its like a tease of good legs

I thought the sequinned leggings I bought would have the same effect - but with some nightime pizzazz. Alas no

TheCappster · 21/09/2009 20:12

wtf are jeggings when they are at home

PacificDogwood · 21/09/2009 20:16

Jeggings

sazzerbear · 21/09/2009 20:17

those really stretchy leggings that look like jeans, a lot are wet look and even metallic. I didn't know what they were either until tonight!
