I rarely reach for the skinnies now since falling in love with the bf's. they are definitely my go to jean. So glad you stuck with it and found the right pairs for you, I knew our 'gentle persuasion' would pay off! Some gorgeous looks here, u really rock them lady!! X

My favourite jeans are Top Shop but my second favourite are Gap and I have three Gap jeans. Amazing quality and the sizing is good too - who would have guessed I was a UK Size 8!!!

Avril, I love straight cut,more fitted BF jeans as you know....they look fab with everything. Such a great look......I'd wear all of your outfits.x

I think you look great in these jeans but you are so right about the length of time it takes to find a good pair. I have been really pleased with my White Company ones I just can't wait for them to get a bit more ( naturally) distressed

2013-09-06T18:17:43.645+01:00

It's taken me a while to come round to them as well but I so love them on other people now. I think I am a tad lazy as know the skinny jeans fit and work for me, I just need to invest more time like you say in finding some. Your's look really good on you Avril. Hope the swimming lesson goes well. I am off to get them bathed early & trying to find some inspiration for dinner!!!x

I've never been a fan of boyfriend jeans, but have to say I really like these and how you have styled them. Surprised at how good they look with heels.

2013-09-06T13:28:48.428+01:00

I'm a late convert to 'boyfriend' jeans (as with so much else!) I now love mine from Topshop, so much so that I bought a 'spare' pair from Primark. And I actually quite like the look of that last pair from New Look. I have no rips in my repertoire yet... could be time to change that! x

I finally found my perfect skinny boyfriend jean this year too! The Brady from Asos.

2013-09-06T12:36:26.056+01:00

I have a Gap pair very similar to your straight leg pair Avril. I wasn't sure if they were really my thing.I might try again now with the ankle boots and blazer combo....love all your styling here:)

I loved boyfriend jeans. The Paige ones I've been wearing for a few years have been in the dryer a bit too often... I need a new pair. The Gap look great on you. Maybe I'll try them!

2013-09-06T11:42:10.618+01:00

Yay!! And you're right you look so young:) I love how you style them - very simple and no fashion victim in sight. I can't wait for the sneaker/trainer post:)

2013-09-06T11:27:39.995+01:00

I love these on you....I tried them but went for a too pale of wash and they went back. I ended up with a pair from Zara and yes as you put it perfectly ' made me feel alittle younger'

2013-09-06T09:42:43.961+01:00

Oh I was wondering if it might be some boyfriend jeans or those gorgeous Maison Scotch jeans which I am spitting jealous over. And I love how you kept on trying till you found the pair as I know how difficult it is because I have spent the summer looking for a spare pair incase some of mine wear out and to date - no luck. That's how hard it is. However so is finding the perfect skinnies, bootlegs or any other style of jean out there and it is all personal and how you perceive you look in them. I love the boyfriends because they just keep everything that little bit more casual and like you say "young". And if shorties like me and Marlene can wear them - well that says a lot. I'm with you on the slimmer fit styles as well - just that touch more flattering keeping eveything more streamlined.

2013-09-06T08:48:39.083+01:00

They change the Gap ones each season so worth trying them again - both of mine are Gap and yet, so totally different....weird! And like you, I do prefer them slim fitting Ax

2013-09-06T08:46:49.483+01:00

It was seeing them on the smaller frame that convinced me Helen - seeing Sue and Marlene totally rock them in London made me determined to try them. It's all about the right footwear and top half and I think you could totally rock them too! I had to try about 6 different styles to find the right ones - I think it's the same with most jeans ... you'll find the right ones if you shop around ... frustrating as that is! xx

2013-09-06T08:38:17.278+01:00

I completely understand what Fiona means ... I prefer a 'skinny boyfriend' as well if that makes any sense. I can't wear them, which is really annoying - but unless they're worn rolled up slightly, they just look a bit crap. I'm also not sure how well they work on a smaller frame, as I think they would just shorten my legs even more, which I really don't want! My fave pic of you is the top RH one, where you're wearing them with heels. I also remember a fab pic of you wearing them with a black blazer and leopard print heels ... and frankly I was jealous, lol!!!! Have a great weekend.

2013-09-06T08:23:54.237+01:00

I love boyfriend jeans too but I like a 'skinny' boyfriend if that makes sense?!

I am gutted the Gap ones didn't look right on me and yet they look like they were made for you.
