I have been trying to give my skinny jeans a rest. I love them, Lord knows I do. They flatter my body like no other but change was long overdue. It is no easy feat finding flattering jeans for curvy girls. I attempted to give boyfriend jeans a run. I loved the comfort and ease of them, but they looked ridiculous on me. Apparently I don’t have very good friends because no one told me. I am 5’4″ tall and I finally have hips (which I’m excited about). Boyfriend jeans gave me a baggy yet boxy shape because of my curves. They added more bulk to my frame. So while I loved them, they definitely did not show love back to me.
Girlfriend jeans were my next attempt at jeans for curvy girls since they are not quite as baggy as boyfriend jeans. From the front, I think they look really good LOL. It definitely depends on how I style them. I think my problem might be I cannot stay away from the squat rack at the gym. I had some insecurities about my lack of junk in my trunk, so over the past year I’ve worked overtime building a booootay! From the rear, the girlfriend jeans look a bit exaggerated over this butt. Again, very likely a problem I created. I’ve decided if I wear flowy, breezy tops – I’m 100% in love with them.
I would have loved better optics but the wind was super disrespectful. It could have cared less about me wanting to take pictures LOL. It was crisp out too! I just gave up,- the cold wins every time!
If denim is doing most of the work in your closet too, my weekend basics are built around the same idea: good jeans, easy layers, and shoes that finish the look. I also like denim when it is the thing that tones down something dressier, which is exactly what I did with tulle and denim.
