Hello! SkinnyJeans Review & Giveaway

Hello! SkinnyJeans!  I’m not certain but I would guess you are supposed to say it like Hell-oooooo skinny jeans!! It is like a celebratory hello.  Think about the way you would say it to a good friend when you have always liked the way skinny jeans look on skinny girls but now you have them on and they actually look good on you.  Hellooo!!

I was pretty thrilled to get my hands on a pair of hello! Skinny Jeans!  I am, how should I put it…curvy… and I usually like to wear flared bottom jeans to offset the size of my hips and thighs.  I have had a love/hate relationship with skinny jeans in the past.  I love the way they look on someone so I try to find a pair that look good on me only to hate every. single. pair. that I try on.  They usually don’t flatter my figure at all.

My days of longing are over! I was sent the GreenJeans CoutureCut of Skinny Jeans to try.  When I first put on hello! Skinny Jeans I held my breath.  Not because I was trying to squeeze them on but because I was really hoping that these skinny jeans would actually look good on me.  Voila!  They are like magic, or as the description of them says “literally photoshops the body.”  These jeans lift and shape in all the right places while still being comfortable.  The thighs are very ‘scooped out’ separating and slimming the thighs. The Inseams are drawn forward, tricking the eye into seeing less on the front of the leg which is just brilliant! The jeans also have light and dark shading to make legs look thinner and longer. Did I mention that they are comfortable?  They suck you in in all the right spots but I wore them all day long and they felt great on.  So… skinny jeans that look great and are super comfy? I think that is a winning combination!
 
Yep, those are my legs in hello! SkinnyJeans.   
Check out all of these before and after SkinnyJeans photos here.  I think you’ll be impressed!  SkinnyJeans also come in up to size 18 and they have inseams up to 37″!  They are showing some serious love to those of us who couldn’t normally wear skinny jeans!  
So, after all of that, you would like a pair right?  To purchase a pair visit their shop here.  The jeans start at $149 and up.
