  Yey!!!! Super cute, you look amazing!

  Wow Meridith! You look absolutely fab in these! I need to go try on these Levis because you look amazing in them! I love the coral coat too. They look like they fit you perfectly! Yay for trying something new! With skinnies and a dress, you are starting your own style revolution and I love it! Keep it up!

  WOW! You are rocking those skinnies! Rocking them HARD!!!

• Victoria replied 12 years ago

  Looks great on you! I love the boots with it too!

• replied 12 years ago

  You look lovely in skinnies. You have a great figure and they look great with your tall boots!

• ManidipaM replied 12 years ago

  Meredith, you have the most fabulous legs, and the skinnies were MADE for you! LOVE this look, and the bright blue top too

• qfbrenda replied 12 years ago

  You look fantastic!!! Well done.

• Kate replied 12 years ago

  You look super in skinnies; your legs look so long and slender. BTW, the color of your sweater is simply gorgeous on you.

• Jem replied 12 years ago

  You look amazing in skinnies! Super cute outfits and I'm still jealous of your boot find! :-)

• Kirti replied 12 years ago

  You look so long and lean in skinnies! I also adore the colour of the turtleneck on you :)

  What colour is the other pair of skinnies?

• Vicki replied 12 years ago

  Skinnies are a natural on you, Meredith, and they fit you so well. Love the lace-up boots and the whole outfit in its entirety.

• krishnidoux replied 12 years ago

  You wear the look so well! Those are lovely jeans and you own them.

• Astrid replied 12 years ago

  You look amazing! The color of that turtleneck is stunning on you.

• Mo replied 12 years ago

  First skinnies?! Looks like you've been rocking them for ages! Great look.

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  Ladies,
  I am overwhelmed with your lovely words of encouragement! I always worry that my legs look overly muscular. Nice that the color of the coat and the sweater were liked as well. I definitely feel better about wearing the skinnies now!

  Jem,
  If you have a Bass outlet near you... That's where I picked them up. What I can't believe is that they are my perfect 9 1/2 size. It was obviously meant to be!

  Kirti,
  The other pair of skinnies are the same brand and style but are a dark wash indigo that I cannot wear to work. I did however pickup a pair of straightleg white jeans and a air of gray jeans (hmmmm might be wearing those tomorrow). They are all the demi curve Levi and I went with a size 8 except for the white straight legs which I actually prefer in the size 10.

• Suz replied 12 years ago

  WOW, you are reaching new heights every day! You're channelling Angie in that coral coat, for sure. The skinnies and boots are SO fab on you. You definitely have the figure for them. Your legs do NOT look overly muscular at all. You look long and lean and polished.

• bj1111 replied 12 years ago

  great caboose! love the denim-n-docs pairing.

• Meghan R replied 12 years ago

  I agree with Suz -- you definitely look long and lean here. You should make skinnies a regular part of your wardrobe:)

• Kirti replied 12 years ago

  Oh wow I'm so excited! I can't wait to seem them all! :D

• catgirl replied 12 years ago

  Wow, you look great. I can usually only wear skinnies with a tunic or longer top because I don't have the waist or derriere to carry off a shorter top.

  You are just stepping it UP, girlfriend!

• biscuitsmom replied 12 years ago

  LOVE!!!!!!!!! So glad you took the plunge!

• CocoLion replied 12 years ago

  I just about fell off my Lazy Boy!

  Why haven't you been wearing skinny jeans for like, 6 years already?

  YLF.

• Sunita replied 12 years ago

  You really look amazing. Kudos for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying skinnies!

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  I am just blushing and fanning myself! Thanks to all you fab ladies for urging me to try them in the first place! Hopefully DH will think my "caboose" (as BJ1111 put it) looks pretty good too! :)

• Angie replied 12 years ago

  KILLER

• Makrame replied 12 years ago

  This is great! Wonderful fit on those skinnies, beautiful color and fit of the top, and your coat is fun, too!

• Jjsloane replied 12 years ago

  You are so made to wear this silhouette! Fabulosity! DH is blind if he doesn't approve of this look!

• Mellllls replied 12 years ago

  the jeans are great!!!

• Kyle replied 12 years ago

  Goodness, skinnies for the first time and I hope not for the last. Don't deny us your fabness! I've been considering this same cut, in a tall, and you may have pushed me over the edge. The jeans fit you beautifully. Do you find that they run true to size? The boots are equally fab. Love the whole look!

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  Thanks again to all the ladies for the sweet words! I so appreciate you all helping coax me out of my comfort zone. DH actually said when I got home that I look great in the pants! Not something you usually comments on.

  Angie
  Thanks!!! That is the first "KILLER" I have earned and I really appreciate your approval!

• christieanne replied 12 years ago

  I just have to chime in with Amazing!! You are totally rocking those jeans.

  I can't wait to see future installments :)
  Was it a Levis outlet store where you found the new denim at?

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  Kyle,
  These and the dark wash denim ones I purchased are actually a 9 so a junior size? and yes they seem to be pretty true in size. My only reservation is that they ARE a low rise so I am being careful what tops I wear them with. They are very comfortable and I have worn them all day with no stretching and bagging.

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  Christieanne,
  I got these at the Levi Outlet mall in Boise. They also have cute straight leg styles so I bought some in a gray and I also bought a pair in white.

• cheryle (Dianthus) replied 12 years ago

  I just saw this thread. Those skinnies look fantastic on you and I have to say the shade of blue you are wearing on top is a fabulous color for you. Yay for the skinnies.

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  Thanks Dianthus! I like the top too. It is what I believe is called "bright navy".

• Sveta replied 12 years ago

  Better late than never, Meredith. Your body was created with skinnies in mind so wear them often because they look great on you. Lobe that periwinkle blue too!

• rachylou replied 12 years ago

  Hot, definitely hot :)

• Deborah replied 12 years ago

  I cannot believe you have not worn skinnies before! You look sensational. And the color of the turtleneck and the coat are breathtaking. Gorgeous.

• harmonica replied 12 years ago

  You look amazing in skinnies! :-)

• Jonesy replied 12 years ago

  I am soo late to this thread, but I had to chime in to agree with everyone else and say you look fantastic!!

• modgrl replied 12 years ago

  Holy YAY!! You look fantastic!! These skinnies and boots were made for you!!

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  Ladies,
  again from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for boosting my confidence! I do appreciate it so much!

• lynne replied 12 years ago

  You look amazing! I hope skinnies willl be a regular part of your wardrobe now.

• Isabel replied 12 years ago

  you look amazing !! The skinny jean world has been missing an icon !

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  Thanks again ladies! I wore them again just yesterday and I LOVE them. So comfy and I love being able to show off the boots also. Strange how we can be so afraid to try certain types of looks.

• Scarlet replied 12 years ago

  This looks so super duper on you. I think this is your best look that I have seen in terms of head to toe fabness.

• Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

  Thanks Scarlet!
