Jeans+Leggings=Jeggings.
I had been hearing things about jeggings and was intrigued. Skinny jeans that feel like leggings, sign me up. I started searching the internet and found several pairs of designer jeggings, but this wife of a med student's budget did not agree with the price of such a trendy item. I finally found several pairs on Kohls and placed an order.I ordered a pair of Levi's and a pair of Mudd. The Mudds were a last minute impulse. I realize I am not 13, but they looked decent online. The Levi's looked great in person, but were way too big in the waist. I hate pants that fit tight in the thighs, but gap a ridiculous amount in the waist. I seem to have that problem with a lot of pants. Perhaps, a few more lunges are in order.
The Mudds fit me great. I would definitely recommend ordering true to size or even a size smaller than you think. These things have a lot of stretch to them.
I mainly wanted a pair to wear with tall boots. They fit very slim around the calf and fit perfectly into a pair of boots without all the scrunching. I even wore them the other day with flats.
I had Ty snap a quick pic of me on my way out the door. This was at 7:15 am, so pardon the dim lighting. Oh and it was VERY casual Friday. I couldn't post about the jeggings without a picture and at the time thought I would have a chance to write this post on my lunch hour. Turns out you can't do that when your entire network, including Internet is down. It was down from about 10 am to who knows when. It was working this morning. I digress...
I have "jeggins" and I gotta say I LOVE them. They are super versatile... and look great under tunics and long"ish" shirts.
ReplyDeleteI like yours!
Cute!
ReplyDeleteThe jeggings look great on you!
ReplyDeleteYou look great and I love the word Jeggins. I wear mine all the time!
ReplyDeleteYou look super cute, but I would look like a blimp! These thighs are going NOWHERE NEAR Jeggings!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Whitney...my thighs and butt are way too big.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say - I'm a wee bit obsessed with all things legging at the moment.
ReplyDeleteMy super-stretchy F21 skinny jeans are satisfying my craving at the moment, but I think it might be time to splurge for another pair.
To wear when my F21's are in the laundry.
They're adorable on you! I don't think they'd be quite so cute on my giant rear though. I just recently found the courage for skinny jeans, and even then only with longer tops.
ReplyDelete1. LIVE for Jeggins. They look FAB on you.
ReplyDelete2. Just noticed your new blog design - LOVEEE it!
I have also been wanting to try these out. They look great on you.
ReplyDeleteConsidering I just got on the leggings bandwagon the jeggins may take me a while.
I have big ol hips, so, I cannot jump on that bandwagon :(
ReplyDeleteBut you look so stylish and cute!!
I'm going to have to try these! So exciting. I heard about them and I was SUPER skeptical but now I'm liking the idea more and more. I would love to be able to wear them instead of my skinny jeans that don't have a lot of give.
ReplyDeleteWell I don't have official jeggings but I do have some jeans that are so tight they could very well be considered jeggings. You look so cute!
ReplyDeletehaha i got a pair as a joke for xmas, but i love them!!!! ha so comfy and they look like real jeans! and cute outfit...i love that Ty took this pic for you...does he read your blog??
ReplyDeleteYESSS...Jeggings!! I just bought a pair and am OBSESSED with them. They are the most comfortable things I have ever put on my body.
ReplyDeleteAnd for all the commenter who said that your thighs and butt are too big...trust me..I thought the same thing. I don't feel comfortable wearing just regular leggings..but the jeggings suck you in a lot more. Try them!
While I think you look adorable.. I'm staying away from this trend!! Way too much j-lo on my backside for those babies!!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I tried some on at Macy's that looked terrible, but maybe I'll head on over to Kohl's and try some of these.
ReplyDeleteThey look super cute on you! I love jeggings, but unfortunately, they are not very friendly to pregnant woman. They end up making me look like an apple with little stick legs.
ReplyDelete: )
So so cute on yout with those skinny legs of yours!!

ReplyDeleteThey look so cute on you! I wear skinny jeans even though I have a big bootie and thighs, but don't know how those would look. I may have to go to Kohl's and check them out!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute on you! I love the idea of jeggings, but highly doubt my thighs and butt would agree
ReplyDeleteWow, those really do look like jeans! Just might have to try them out.
ReplyDeleteI have NOT been brave enough to try them for fear of looking like "an old person trying to look young" but they look super comfortable! I can't quite picture my "after 2 kids body" looking sexy in tight pants...
ReplyDeleteI think that they are super cute, but I'm not so sure that I could pull them off! :) You look great in them though!
ReplyDeleteSO cute! I must tell you...I got them!!! Not sure what brand mine are...They are WONDERFUL for this pregnant belly! It's really the only "jeans" I wear right now :)
ReplyDeletei need to get a pair!!
ReplyDeletethey are so cute!! you're a doll :)
i haven't been shopping in so long i have never even seen these.
I can't bring myself to wear them. 1) I wore them the first time around when they were popular in high school in the late 80s/early 90s. Plus, I'm too curvy. haha!!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about these! Now I just might have to go buy some :)
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous on you! LOVE jeggings!
ReplyDeleteYou look sooo cute! I am definitely going to check out some jeggings! Although I still need to get some cute (not expensive) boots too ;)! If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!!
ReplyDeleteIn this wonderful life - what brand did you buy that fits a pregnant belly? I was so sad when I realized my skinny jeans were gonna have to be put on hold because they get pushed down and fall off my butt - even with the Bella Band....
ReplyDeleteAnd what exactly is the difference between these and skinny jeans? Are they made of denim? Do they zip and button or have elastic waists?
you look cute in them ... me not so much! ha!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for jeggings. Thanks for the recs!
