Jeggings... Finally
Monday, November 12, 2012I'm often late to the game when it comes to fashion choices. The most recent example? Jeggings. I've tried on many over the years (the latest being Old Navy rockstars) but haven't come across one that felt right, until now.
Having had luck with LOFT jeans in the past, I figured I'd give their jeggings a try. I went with my usual size, 24R, and really liked how I pulled them over my ankles with ease without having to hop up and down. The next issue I usually have is the comfort level. Most jeggings make me feel like a stuffed sausage, but this pair was so comfortable, both sitting and standing.
I washed the jeans once before wearing them for the first time, but there was still some denim transfer. I should've known better than to wear it with a light colored trench (!) Sigh. At least it happened on the inside lining.
The LOFT denim jeggings are currently on sale for $41.70 (40% off from $69.50) with code FRIENDS until tonight 11/12.

I'm still behind jegging yet. I don't feel comfortable...Great you found the one!
ReplyDeleteLove your shoes. So beautiful and chic!
They look great on you! Sorry to hear about the color transfer on your beautiful trench! I'd be upset.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I noticed dirt on the underside of the trench's sleeves, I got so pissed. At myself for not knowing how it happened, and then not knowing how to clean it off. But then I got over it. So when the denim transfer happened, it was kinda like, ehh... what's another mark, lol.
DeleteGorgeous outfit!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit on you and the way you have decided play with different coloured neutrals.

oh noooo, i'd be so sad about the color transfer on such a beautiful trench! i hope you can get it out! the jeggings look great on you. :]
ReplyDeleteI didn't have much luck on the main material =/ Had better luck with the inner fabric lining, but I think I'll just wait awhile longer before taking it in to a Burberry store for cleaning. Knowing me, the minute I get it cleaned, it'll be dirty again, haha.
DeleteSorry to hear about your trench, Cee! Regardless, the leggings look great on you. Black leggings are so easy to wear on those lazy days for me.
ReplyDeleteoh no, color transfer is so hard to remove! i've tried the jeggings thing a few times with no luck. those look awesome tho.
ReplyDeleteBoo at color transfer :( I noticed some on my Bal bag (probably weeks after it happened) but for some reason it seems worse on a piece of clothing.
DeleteLove this outfit, how its casual, yet you add an edge to it with the shoes.
ReplyDeleteAgi:)

I love jeggings! Though I only have one pair that I've worn to death and need to be replaced. Sucks about the color transfer (to your Burberry coat!!!!!) but at least they look great :) I'll have to check out Loft next time!
ReplyDeleteI know you love a good bargain, so definitely keep your eyes out for these jeggings at a future LOFT sale!
DeleteOther than the color transfer, these jeggings sound (and look) perfect on you! If you can believe it I still haven't found a pair that I am even 80% happy with...will keep other LOFT styles in mind for future reference! :)
ReplyDeleteI think our bodies just aren't made for jeggings. I'm not sure what it is for me... big hips? But don't give up, you'll find your pair one day, Elle!
Deletei love this cee! you look very chic and fun. this review is good - i have many skinny jeans, but the jegging is another beast altogether!
ReplyDeletexox P
Haha, another beast is right. But one that you won't regret once you found your perfect pair :)
DeleteI hated the idea of jeggings when they first appeared! Even my mother had a pair before I did. I realized it was because I really hated the fake denim look. Now that the trend has exploded, there are tons of options out there, and I found that American Eagle and GAP actually make really decent quality ones that have the look and feel of denim, but the fit and comfort of a legging!

Thanks for sharing your jeggings experience, Joanna. I've tried AE regular jeans in the past but they never fit right on my body type. Same with Gap. It's been awhile now, so I think I'll have to give these two stores another shot.
Deletewith your body type you look really good in them. I feel like i need to lose some weight around my hip since they are so big and I look funny haha
ReplyDeleteGirl, you haven't seen my behind lately. I swear I feel like my hips/butt are getting bigger. I suppose it's true that we're our own harshest critics. Don't give up the search though because there are so many options out there!
DeleteOne day...just ONE DAY I'll get a classic burberry trench and a classic chanel bag (hopefully the bag won't be like 10x the price right now lol...)
ReplyDeleteThe evil side of me won't mind price increases. If I ever sell, that'll be a nice chunk of change, muahaha. But seriously, Chanel really needs to step up the quality to be on par with the retail price.
DeleteI don't think I have a true pair of Jeggings...I have the Gap jean leggings...but that's it! Now that we have Ann Taylor I might give these a try! My only issue is that we don't seem to be getting the great sales that you guys get. Gah!
ReplyDeleteBoo! If you see something on the US site that's cheaper than Canada's, don't hesitate to let me know and I can forward the package along :)
DeleteWow! These look great, can these be worn for working out also? I was hoping if this could complete my workout gear also. I love being in leggings all the time, so wearing outside casually and in the gym as well is what my idea is! Anyways, you look good!
ReplyDeleteSome people are fine with having the understanding that they are just a booty call and for some people, you will want the relationship to go to the next level. Candy Leggings
ReplyDeleteBasically, the training program is based upon certain dance moves. These moves are inspired by Latin dance forms. The whole training is called Triangle Training Technique, and it will make your dream of perfect butts come true. Booty XXL
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear from you. Constructive criticisms welcome!
