Manic Monday - Rockstar Skinny Jeans

10/15/2012
warning: this post looks as though I was paid to write it. *I promise* I wasn't! But I would make a good sales lady, yes? If old navy stumbles upon this, feel free to cut me a check...

Guys, I have a confession.

As I usually do...

So the thing is, I love skinny jeans. And really, I used to hate them. Yeah, really, I did! When they first came out I remember thinking how horribly ugly and unflattering they were. But then I tried a pair on in the store. And oh, I loved them! Boots slip right over them, with no bunching? Fabulous. And I can wear high heels and feel tall and slender? Ohh yes please!

But then here's the other thing. I had a kid. And now I have a one and half year old boy. A BOY, you guys. Can you imagine running around chasing a sweet little independent and very active little boy while wearing skinny jeans? Not ideal.

Well, since I discovered the rockstar skinny jeans at old navy, my life has gotten ten times easier then it used to be. I can look stylish, but feel like I'm wearing pj's! I kid you not, they are the comfiest things I ever did wear. You would never guess you were wearing jeans!

And here's the REAL kicker... they are a whopping $30. Or, if you're clever like me, you can clip a coupon while shopping during a sale-and BAM, $19 a pair. Cha-ching!

You can find them online here.

Or just go to your old navy store.

And really, you can thank me later.

Just don't mind that I took these pictures last night, after a big steak and shrimp dinner with cheesecake for dessert. I felt like plopping my butt down on that road and taking a nap, really. After unbuttoning my suddenly-too-tight-jeans. But I smiled a little for the camera first. I'm going to say that's why these pictures didn't turn out...well, fabulous or anything...

On to my current obsession...I might or might not wear these ankle booties everyday. They are so versatile that it's kind of ridiculous! They go with everything!

I really do just l-o-v-e the ankle booties trend. What's that, you say? You want to see some more cute ones I found online? Well ohhkay...

And now you all know what time it was when I took this picture... awesome.

I'm slowly working up a collection of over-sized watches. This is my current fave. Isn't it just lovely?! In this same watch from windsor, they have coral and teal. And for such a great deal!

Here are some more over-sized watches that I'd love to add to my jewelry box...

Kick back to the 90's...Currently I am obsessed with denim vests! I love mine so much, that I wear it (almost) daily. It's so versatile, it can be worn with anything! And really, I'm so excited to have another piece to use in layering come fall. (you know, when REAL fall weather gets here...)

Oh, and happy monday folks. Let's make the best of today, yeah? I mean really, it's the start of a new week! My big plans today consist of homemade bread, cleaning & laundry (boo!), a park lunch play date with my sweet little guy, a zumba class, and a doctors appointment! What a way to start the week!

And after my lazy sunday, I have to say, I'm excited to feel accomplished!

PS Some more consistent blogging coming your way. Starting today! See the weekly editions here.
