I would have bought two pairs (which is something I highly recommend doing if you find a pair that are perfect for you) but I wanted to see if they would still fit me after I'd eaten some solids. My friend bought a pair in a lighter, more summery wash. I was very excited and bought them straightaway. The high-waist hid my tummy and elongated my legs and if I may say so, my ass looked great. When I tried on the smaller pair it was like I had put on jeans for the first time. The sales assistant assured me that most people go down a size in their jeans. I assumed it was because I had not eaten solids for 2 days on account of having stitches in my mouth from the mega ordeal of having a wisdom tooth excavated. The style she brought me was, the high-waisted Genevieve in a dark wash. I only picked up a pair to try on because my accomplice wanted to try on a pair of denims and I live for changing-room banter with my friends! That in mind, I picked up a pair of mock-croc skinny pants with a ridiculously low waist (I'm quite entertaining really!) So my friend and I went into our cubicles and when we emerged the pair she had on were so crazy flattering that, once we had both stopped laughing at the sight of me in my disco-pants, I asked the assistant to bring me a pair of their skinnies in my size. I should say that I had no intention of trying on, let alone buying a pair when we entered. So what happened on Saturday? I hit Seven for all mankind in Kildare Village outlet centre with my friend. Until last Saturday I was a dye-hard (see what I did there!!) fan of Topshop's skinnies (the super skinny Jamie style being my fav).

You can even tuck them into wellies for weekends in the country or festivals. I wear mine with ballet pumps, sandals or cons during the day and dress them up with heels or boots for the evening. My skinny jean pinups are Alison Mosshart and Kate Moss. A slim fit pair of dark denims is the basis of most of my day-to-day wardrobe.

Seriously, I think I've only owned two pairs of bootcut jeans in my life and, this whole seventies flared jean trend that's going on at the minute does nothing for me. I have an unhealthy obsession with skinny jeans.
