Hello Hauteness

So, with my first post I want to address jeggings.  What are jeggings you ask?

Jegging- a cross between jeans and leggings

J Brand 901 Jegging in Imperial $180

Now I used to think that skinny jeans were insanely tight and spandexy, but then I discovered jeggings.  I’m not gonna lie.  The first time I came across a pair in Anthropologie a few months back I laughed out loud.  Seriously.  I took one look at a pair of AG jeans and thought they were maternity skinny jeans.  They looked like denim, they sorta felt like denim, but they weren’t quite denim.  Oh, and they had a stretchy waistband…like maternity pants.  I was all sorts of confused and amused.

Since then I have seen jeggings anywhere and everywhere.  From fashion magazines to paparazzi photos to the streets of ATX, jeggings are taking over the world!  The key indicator of this is simple: I have even bought a pair.  While in San Diego a few weeks back I came across a fabulous pair of J Brand jeans in a little boutique in Del Mar and I had to have them.  The fact that I put them on and could still breathe astonished me.

This is huge for me.  Why?  Well, as I will mention often in this blog, I shy away from anything that puts emphasis on my legs…specifically my thighs/hips.  Apparently God designed me to bear children so this is where I carry my weight.  Do you see now why I would shy away from a pair of pants that suction themselves to my every curve?  Somehow, though, they actually are slimming.  Who knew?!

So I eat my original LOL’s I directed toward jeggings and I now bow down to them.  If I could where mine everyday I would.  Ladies, go out and buy a pair.  I’m not normally one to try to sway anyone in the direction of the more expensive designer brands, but when it comes to jeggings I think it’s worth the investment.  The material is higher quality and the spandex maintains it’s taut shape, unlike cheaper versions I tried out from Target that stretched out and left me with the knee bagginess (you know what I’m talking about).

Where them out to dinner with heels or with flipflops for a trip to the Farmer’s Market (cause we all do that right?)…just get some…then send me a pic of how cute you look in them.
