This is not going to morph into a fashion blog, not least because I don't care to post pictures of myself up here, but I need to say something. Skinny jeans are not a good trend. I saw a picture of Princess Kate - excuse me, Catherine Duchess of Cambridge -- in a pair, and they didn't flatter even her. She was fine, of course, but not great. And if she can't wear them, there's not much hope for anyone else.
If you want to go buy skinny jeans because they're all the rage this fall, go for it. I'm contemplating getting a pair to set off my stellar boot collection. But if you must indulge, try to wear a shirt with them that won't make you look fat, and if you show your midriff, you need to go re-think your life choices. Always remember that leggings are not pants, and jeggings... have a bad name.
But don't wear frumpy jeans, either. Bootcuts cut slim through the knees, that's my recommendation.
Turquoise and bright red jeans are awesome, though.

Fully agree. My personal opinion is that skinny jeans make anyone with any semblance of curves look like a corndog - all torso standing on stick figure legs. But they do go wonderfully with boots. Also, boyish figures (that is, females with boyish figures -NOT boys) can pull it off at times, depending on shirt choice.
