Boyfriend Straight Jean ($29.80)

Fit: Usually we don’t review jeans–there are just too many and they really fit everyone so differently. However, I hold this particular pair of jean largely responsible for all the frump that was going on when I tried on Love 21 Contemporary’s tops. I should have ran out and grabbed another pair of jeans for the fitting room but I hate leaving the a dressing room on a busy day when there’s a line. It’s like I’m rubbing it everyone’s faces, “I have a room and another round of six items to try on plus whatever else I’m grabbing now and you’re just going to have to stand there and watch!” So I kept this pair of jeans on for all my tops and they really did add instant frump to everything. Also, the length was weird. Unrolled they only went down to my ankles. And on top of all that the lighter wash is not going to help in the slimming department.

Versatility: As you can tell, I really kinda hate these jeans which makes coming up with different ways to wear them rather difficult.

Trend Factor: The whole look is very Katie Holmes 2008.

Demographic: Nobody

Color Blocked Leggings ($22.00)

Rating: Wear it Forever

Fit: Most. Comfy. Things. Ever. Seriously, I did not want to take these off. If I hadn’t promised myself I wouldn’t buy anything that shopping trip they would be on my legs right now. Granted, the light color made my butt look two sizes larger than it is but a tunic or long sweater would quickly fix that.

Versatility: Really, how often can you wear pale gray leggings with rhinestones at the ankles? But they definitely beat your college sweats for a lazy Sunday.

Trend Factor: Military is in, and the leggings had a bedazzled militaristic feel—like the sweater that had too many pearls even for Jen.

Demographic: Everyone
