Skinny Genes

"I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes."


Yves Saint-Laurent

Normally, i never wear Denim, of any kind, ever. But recently I've found myself shuffling back into my old Skinny Jeans! 
I went for lunch with the Manfriend and Family today in this 7/8ths style, just double cuffing the hem a little and pairing with a simple mannish shirt and pink lipstick and Voila, dressed and ready to go in half the time!
Its a look I've been using a lot a work too. Waiting on all the Autumn/Winter Deliveries i need to be practical, yet still want to look good on the Shop Floor. Wearing a black chiffon shirt fastened to the top, tucked into second skin dark denim jeans with a leopard print pump fits the bill perfectly, and nails the Androgynous trends for this season too! I just switch my pumps for a block heel or wedge in the evening and add some oversized gold earrings, job done.
