The Skinny on Skinnies

  Skinny jeans have become a wardrobe staple.  However, many women think you need to be in fact a “skinny girl” to pull them off.  Not to worry ladies, curves work perfectly well in skinny jeans too.  The key to this look is balance and proportion.  For myself, I have a larger hip, bum, thigh area.  In order to avoid looking too bottom heavy I layer on the top half or choose items that are looser and more flowy.
