Black Skinny Jeans and Borrowed Belts.

I am currently watching the 1951 version of 'A Christmas Carol' for a cinema module that I'm doing here in Montpellier. I'm watching number 3 out of the 6 (yes 6) versions that I'm obliged to yawn my way through and there's only so much I can take - it's not even Christmas. So with it playing the background I thought I would write a little post for you lovely people. 

Remember that haul video I made all that time ago? Well these are the black skinny jeans that I featured in it and, although I am glad of their presence in my wardrobe, I am still on the hunt for the perfect pair. This pair are just, well, a bit lacking. First of all, they're too big. By too big I mean I panicked at the last minute that my arse wouldn't wriggle in and so bought them 4 sizes too big. With a belt the jeans look ok, but it's not the first time I've misjudged my butt. Perhaps in my head I have a butt like Nicki Minaj - I should ask her where she gets her jeans from. Secondly, as well as a gaping waist, these jeans are far too long in the leg. However, I am not sure if this counts as a real reason for the jeans being poo as I am a midget and forever destined to rock a turn up anyway. Finally - and this is a biggie -  literally everything sticks to them it looks like I have been rolling around in a sheep pen. When I wear these jeans I also wear all the fluff known to man. Continuously picking at my legs is not a good look. 

And yet, I am still wearing them aren't I? Well, I am not one to waste clothes, nor do I have a disposable income to replace them with the Topshop baxters I have my eye on just yet. Speaking of shopping, I did manage to get up early enough this past Sunday to venture to the flea market in Mosson with my friends. I am planning on putting together another haul video as I really enjoyed filming and editing the last one. I found so many amazing things including a couple belts. You may have noticed the lovely one that I am wearing here, but unfortunately it's not mine and could only grace my hips for a short while. That's the bitter sweet beauty of having friends with good taste in fashion - you can borrow their clothes but you have to give them back... eventually.

As always I hope you guys are well and have a lovely week ahead. Thanks for reading and commenting - if you leave a link to your blog I will always give it a read and a possible cheeky comment back. 




Because my friend introduced this to me and I can't stop listening.

  1. v into the casual feels of this outfit ;0 i think the jeans look great but i totally understand searching for that perfect pair! i'm still on the hunt for mine. i think my best bet is probably going to be thrifting an OK pair & then getting them tailored? I'm always drooling over the denim section of ASOS but i don't want to pay $66 for mom jeans :B

    keep cool :)))))))

    1. Ooh thank you Maria. I've tried to find some thrifting but have come back empty handed, not too sure about how well jeans would tailor tho. I think im just going to have to cave and get the Topshop ones I've been aching to get.

  9. I really like the black and red together, they're such a great combo :) I'm destined to always roll the legs of my jeans up as well, I have 2 pairs of H&M jeans in a leg 30 and I can't wear them un-cuffed! Oh, the joys of being small haha.

    1. I used to avoid pairing colour with black jeans too much as I didn't want to look like I was still trying to be an emo haha - And oh man, short girl problems eh?

  11. 6 versions of it? Ugh! I think I've only seen the muppets version, haha!

    Love the red top! I just wear skirts and dresses because I can never get jeans or trousers to fit me!

    1. I'd only ever seen the muppets version too - I'm sure I will never want to watch it ever again after this! Yeah I've only recently gotten into jeans and it makes me so sad they dont fit properly.
