Hello Beauties!
Today, I wanted to talk about J E A N S. I despise wearing jeans, give me, skinny, boyfriend, crop, any kind, no thank you. I’ve usually stuck to skirts and jeggings(hi Hollister) because I have yet to find the perfect pair of jeans (if they even existed). Over the past few years though, the search has gotten relatively easier due to more companies’ awareness of petite sizing and having more money to spend also helps! Haha!

As I’ve gotten older I love to invest in quality pieces rather than quantity of jeans or styles. Stocking up on actual styles that I will use rather than what’s trendy.
Which is why I’ve been on the fence regarding the high waist trend. I just couldn’t see myself wearing them and honestly reminded me of Saved By The Bell clothing. But my recent purchase of these Alana High Rise Crop Skinny Jeans have me reaching for them over my coveted leggings and skirts. The color of this light gray wash and destructed jean is perfect for spring as well!
Now onto these jeans! These jeans are soooo soft ya’ll! I mean I’m talking, ridiculously buttery are you even on me, soft. Crazy. Unfortunately, J.brand does not have a petite collection at the moment. However, if you’re petite like me, you can buy the cropped jeans style and avoid the alterations. ** ignore the piece of lint on my tee that is driving me bonkers…
Fit
These hit me right below the belly button and are a tad loose on me at 24 but I like the little give, so it’s easier to tuck in and helps when I get a little bloated :p. My waist size is 23 for reference.
The length, fortunately, hits me right at the top of my foot, covering my ankle! Couldn’t ask for more of a perfect fit. The inseam on the 24 size is 25.
Material
The material is made of mixed fibers and is 92% cotton, 6% elastomultiester, and 2% elastane. No wonder it’s so soft and is a little stretchy.
While I’m not so silently awaiting the arrival of spring I’m choosing to mix many of my fall wardrobe with my spring clothing to create a fresh look. If you’re looking for a good pair of gray jeans, I’ve got you covered!
Happy Shopping loves!
