Recently Acquired: Jeggings

Sep 30th, 2010

Stupid name? Yes. But this hybrid of skinny jeans and leggings in pretty damn amazing. Let me state that I am not a fan of leggings. I leave those to the 10 and under crowd. But I am a lover of the skinny jean. I picked up a pair of cargo jeggings for my trip to Maine last week. I needed something to go with my new hiking boots and still be cute enough to wear around town. I hit the jackpot with a $19.95 (on sale) pair of cargo jeggings from American Eagle. They are super stretchy and fit like a second skin without looking too ghetto. Unlike that model there on the left, I am neither brave nor skinny enough to pair my jeggings with a ballet flat. I choose to balance my frame in these pants with chunky heels or boots and a slouchy sweater. Give them a shot this season.
