I grew up out West where men wear black jeans to formal occasions like weddings, so I’ve never really warmed up to black denim. But a few weeks back, an old co-worker wore a pair and I thought they looked really fab. So now, I have to have a pair.

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
I was never a fan of black denim either but I just purchased this pair from Madewell and I LOVE them! The straight leg is nice for a pear shape body because they're not quite as severe as a skinny jean, but can still easily be tucked into boots.

Belle, I am not overweight, but I have shorter, slightly larger than average legs– can i still wear skinny jeans?
Try Cookie Johnson's skinny jeans. They fit really well, and are available at Nordie's. They're good for women who “aren't supposed” to wear skinny jeans.
I bought a pair of black skinny pants from the gap. They're twill, not denim, but the fit is great and they are very comfortable. Only downside: $60. Still, totally worth it.
I found some black skinnies during my post-Christmas-sale shopping and bought them on a whim. Love them! They look awesome tucked into boots and it's great to have something a little different in the rotation from my usual boring dark-wash blue jeans. I'm still looking for the perfect gray pair too.
My current go-to jeans are a black pair from Urban Outfitters. They are more straight-legged so they may be more flattering on certain body types. And, the last time I was in there, they were on sale for $37…not bad!
james jeans' twiggy jean in “black clean” – amazingly flattering hybrid of jean and legging without that bare, tacky feeling of a “jegging” (fits like a real skinny jean, but with stretch that does amazing things to minimize the thigh area).
