Stripes and Boyfriend Jeans {She Wore What}

Well this post has been a little while coming. I’ve been looking for a suitable pair of boyfriend jeans for a while now. A month or so ago ASOS went nuts and was all of a sudden covered in them. Then I had to choose whether I wanted ripped ones, dark ones or lighter washed looking ones. Tough call. I ended up choosing the new indigo wash cuffed ones.

It’s nice to have some relaxed fit jeans, even though my heart will always belong to the skinnies, I like it. I can’t wait to cuff them up even further and show off a peek of ankle with some pointy flats. Hubby said they sort of reminded him of the whole baggy jeans thing from when we were kids. Maybe he’s right. Maybe I’ve been harbouring a desire to be Lauryn Hill in Sister Act 2 all this time! Picture that final concert hall scene. I never did have the midriff for that orange top though…

Ahh who am I kidding, as a teenager I wouldn’t have known it if it I did!

For their first outing I paired the jeans with a new jumper and necklace that cost me $35 total from Mix Apparel and boots I picked up second-hand. The boots are virtually brand new and a sort of weird fit, long and narrow. But I’m dedicated to making them work because they’re just so beautiful. Thin socks are the order of the day and thanks to the supple suede, I’m sure they’ll give. I’ll keep you posted.

      Thank you. I ordered up a size to the AU24. Which I always do with ASOS jeans. The fit is good. Very relaxed, as I’d hoped. The ripped ones look cool too. Still debating those ones.

    I like straight leg (my faves are AG stevie) and skinny leg.

    Boot cut is a bit passe.
    I like some of the patterned jeans.- they don’t like me though.

      I’m the same normally. Looooove my skinny jeans. They’re the best.

      Couldn’t resist the whole relaxed fit thing though, had to have a pair.

      p.s. Disqus has you marked as a ‘low rep’ commenter, I assume it’s the addition of the blog link. It may cause you to be spammed on blog’s that you don’t comment on regularly. My tip is to just update your gravitar card thingy with your website address and if people want it they can open it from there.
