#levi 501

Skinny jeans are my style comfort blanket. While this isn't a bad thing, my outfits get very repetitive whenever I'm feeling even a little anxious (which is a lot of the time). I started this blog in an effort to challenge myself to wear new things and so far I haven't, really.

I started wearing skinny jeans ten years ago when I was nine. I fell in love with the silhouette and until 2015 I was all aboard the skinny-jean-train. As different shapes have come in I've tried and failed to experiment because I worry they make me look bigger than I am. This is bullshit because I should wear what I want and it shouldn't matter if I look like a tiny baby or a giant.

So, I'm moving my two pairs of black skinny jeans on because I need to learn how to style outfits without them. If they're in the vicinity I'll find them, wear them then regret it plus both pairs don't fit how I like anymore. I'm keeping my dark blue pair because they fit right but I still won't be wearing them. 

So, here are my dark 501s I got from Asos Marketplace – somewhere I would suggest purchasing vintage or used garments as it's a reputable website. These were $30 – $40, look nearly brand new and are much cheaper than what you'd find at a market or a Levi's store

I styled them with a plain white tee from the men's section at Target and these Circus by Sam Edelman shoes from Urban Outfitters because Winter is finally fucking over in Australia!

These are slim enough on the leg that I don't feel swamped and are a good way to dip my toe into the wide world of jean silhouettes.
