Sheer Jeanius

Let it be a matter of record that whoever created the blue jean was a genius! Jeans are the mainstay in almost every wardrobe in the world. Up until a few months ago when I fell in love with leggings, I wore jeans every single day of the week. But enough about me, let's get to the good stuff. Here are a few trends that I've spotted around that I found interesting.

1. The skinny jean.
This trend is relatively old and I thought it would have died a long time ago, but thanks to skaters, Scene kids, and anorexia nervosa, it's become the Herpes of the fashion world. Since I hate the word skinny (and because the only thing skinny on me are my arms), I like to refer to them as legging-like jeans. Here are a couple I spotted around the web that tickled my fancy(what the heck is a fancy anyway?)

What caught my eye about these was the fact that there was no cat emblazoned on the back pocket! 2 points for Kimora. The second thing was the fact that it comes in normal sizes for us "normal" Dope Divas!! (Oxymoron...I know!)

Some say that Rocawear has run it's course in urban fashion but I refuse to believe that or accept status quo. I will always love the way my a** looks in a pair of Rocawear jeans. Whoever heads up their women's line needs to be commended. They definitely cater their market. What I love about these in particular is the hot zipper on the bottom. It defintely sets the design off!


2. THE GRAY JEAN
(or even Jean Gray for you Marvel Divas ;)

As much as I love the gray jean, I'm not quite sure if I'm gonna give it a go (again). I had a pair of gray jeans in middle school and I hated them...but I wore them anyway. But only because I had t. Maybe if I can find a way to balance the edginess it brings to the table, I will. The thing about gray jeans is they only go two ways, either 80's or 80's punk and I'm not enamored with either look right about now.

I kinda like these, I just don't see myself wearing them more than once. However ,for you edgy Dope Divas, I recommend going full out 80s glam with these. Pair these with a sheer top, leather jacket, and a pair of killer stilettos, and you'll have a killer ensemble.

These are so punk it makes me want to pair it with a super feminine jacket and a pair of heals (definitely not the ones in the picture ::eek::). I guess I'm not completely lost on this trend but only time will tell if it makes it's way into my closet.


I have a lot more styles to cover, so I'm going to do this in parts. Stay tuned for what's to come ;)


Happy Shopping!


Until then...
