Going to Extremes

After surviving the legging, jeggings trend from this winter, basically unscathed (we choose to categorize the once over “put some pants on sweetie” gazes from certain senior females riding our building elevator as just a generational misunderstanding – we’ve seen Mad Men we get it), we are on to bigger and better pants dilemmas for Spring. 

Is it just me or are we in an all out war on traditional pants. . .  It used to be so easy to throw on a cute pair of low rise designer jeans and hit the road without having to worry about. . .

Should I wear skinny jeans with a long flared top and ballet flats?
OR Should I wear jean leggings with a top long enough to cover the faux pockets and pair with booties?
OR Should I wear straight leg jeans that are just straight enough to wear with wedges but could be okay if you HAD to stuff them into boots?

AND now for the latest:

Wide leg bell bottom jeans. . .

Why do we have to go to extremes?  And can one woman wear both styles? 

Are you a skinny jean girl or a wide leg bell bottom woman?

Is there an age limit?  I know twenty somethings in mu office who pull of the skinny jeans and ballet flats every day, but is this really okay for a 30 or 40 something?

It’s exhausting and in the words of Avril Lavigne, “Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?”

If you are going to attempt both trends this Spring, God love ya!!

AND here are my picks:

Wide Leg:
J Brand - Kiki in Lotus

Skinny:
7 for All Mankind - Roxanne
