14 Days of Denim

14daysdenim

If you’ve followed this blog for a while, you might notice I rarely wear jeans. I will usually opt for trousers or a dress over a pair of jeans. A big reason I rarely wear them is because I really only have one or two pairs that fit the way I like them to. 
 I am 5’3 with a slim-average build and I prefer skinny jeans that show my ankle. Because of my height, I can never find jeans that are actually ankle bearing unless they are cropped and intended to hit higher on the shin, but I make them work as ankle bearing. On the rare occasion I find an ankle bearing pair that’s short enough for my height, it will be way too tight in the waist area. 
 I was thrilled to be able to try out the new Target denim, and was so pleasantly surprised at how each pair was a perfect fit. I tested out three different pairs over the course of 14 days, which was certainly a challenge for a non-jean wearer! All three of my jeans were skinny style, and ankle bearing, but all had a different color wash (light, medium, dark) and rise (low, medium, high). Each pair showed just enough ankle, while still being extremely comfortable in the waist (no love handle squeezing here!) The material is really soft and stretchy so they feel as comfortable as leggings. 
 Just as I gravitate towards the same style in denim, I usually gravitate towards the same color wash as well. I almost always pick a dark wash, as I feel it is more slimming. I would have never picked out the lighter wash on my own, but was surprised to find I really loved the way they looked with many of my outfits. It’s nice to have a lighter option for more casual outfits, or when your top is dark to add some contrast. That being said, I still wore the darkest wash the most – but I think the fact that they are high-waisted had a lot to do with that. I love the versatility of high-waisted jeans – you can wear them with a shirt tucked in to accentuate your shape or with your shirt un-tucked and they look like two different jeans.
