Ladies! My fingers (and toes) are crossed in the hopes that FALL is just around the corner! Who doesn’t LOVE fall? I could go on and on about what, specifically, I love about fall but instead here is a little peek at some of my specific fall faves:
Scuba hoodies, PSL’s (Yes, I know what’s in them – I have 1 every year…sue me), pumpkin spice candles, Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale, pumpkin-patching with my kiddies, fall clothes, football & (healthy) comfort foods. Let’s stop here, however, & focus on one of fall’s most essential wardrobe items – – THE SKINNY JEAN. I clearly remember the day I sat at my desk at work instant messaging with a good friend of mine who was living in Los Angeles….I was swearing up and down that I’d NEVER wear skinny jeans. I was convinced they were not for my muscular legs and pretty much just thought they’d look hideous. Fast forward to NOW & I am eating my words as I LOVE LOVE LOVE my favorite pair of skinnies!!! You’ll be shocked to know that:
1. They did not cost $200 (I’d NEVER spend that much on jeans….ever.)
2. They aren’t some trendy brand.
I think that people ASSUME you must spend a ton and shop ONLY at stores like Nordstrom or Saks for good skinnies (or jeans in general). The winner here? Good old Gap 1969 Always Skinny jeans. Yep, the Gap. These fit like a glove & come with just the right amount of stretch, but not too much that within an hour of wearing them you are constantly tugging and pulling them up (you ladies know what I mean). They are FABULOUS. Perfect for booties, flats, riding boots, Uggs & even my beloved Hunters. I promise they’ll be your favorite too – – rush out and try some & then start stocking up for FALL! (Bonus: These are ON SALE for Labor Day – regularly $69, marked down to $41 – – !!!)
