Game changer: Almost skinny jeans

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a nice weekend.  I finally got to spend time at home, for the first week in a long time, and it was wonderful.  I read magazines, went end table shopping (with no success) and spent time with friends turning 30.  One thing I found that made my week was a new pair of jeans.  Since finding a great fit is rare, I thought I'd share with the rest of you.

I have pretty curvy hips, muscular thighs and a small waist.  Needless to say, true skinny jeans don't look great on me.  However, I am completely enamored with the LOFT Modern Straight Leg jeans.  They offer the same look, but the fabric doesn't cling around my calves and I look way taller and thinner than I do in other pants.  This discovery just changed my wardrobe.

I guess Stacy and Clinton really do know what they're talking about  ;)  Plus, you can pick up your own pair for under $45. 

And since the weather has been unseasonably warm and gorgeous, here's how I wore them:

P.S.  While I am a LOFT Girl, I did not get these jeans for free and was not asked to write this.  I just get excited about new stuff.
