Fashion Look of the Week



I have been hearing so much about "The Boyfriend Jeans"
They baggy jeans
worn roomier than your jeans -low at the waist - widely rolled up at the cuff.


I do like the name -- what a novel item - to have a BF and wear his pants.

This trend is not a new one. My research and old movies show the look dates back to the 1950's . Teens wore their jeans big and baggy.
Not at all to be confused with the hanging off look populated by urban guys -- please no! Not that!
This BF jean look is controlled. The jeans are not falling off your body.

When Katie Holmes wore TC's jeans, the pics were all over the fashion pages. Frankly, I did not buy the fact the jeans were her hubby's . Katie is not the FASHION CLEVER. I think some stylist told her to wear them -- then called the a photographer to take her pic , post it on a fashion blog -- done!
- That's the instant fashion story for the week.

I do like the look I have to say -- but is it CURVYGIRL FRIENDLY??

You know me -- "TRY ON , TRY ON , TRY ON You never know.

So that's my goal today - to see if I a CURVYGIRL with STYLE can indeed wear the BOYFRIEND JEAN .
But darn! I don't have a BF so I have to go to the store.

I will let you know tomorrow how made out!
