Now I know what you’re thinking–because I, too, often say things like “fug” in my head. But ditch the wooden platforms, throw some knee-high boots over those zipped up high-waters–and ta-da!

I’ve found myself the perfect pair of skinny jeans to wear inside my boots. And the best part–they’re on clearance for $25! Check out the link above to snag yourself a pair!



Not a bad idea…I love the pocket details. My cankles don’t work in skinny jeans, this is genious.
Great idea – they look awesome with your boots!!!
Nice work! I love the way you paired them.
FIrst off, props to you to have the in site to see that those shoes in the picture were AWEFUL! and to pair them with your boots, and they look great!! Not sure what the marketing team was thinking about with those pictures, but I’m glad you changed it up and you did a great job!
Love those!
You look cute, but shoot! I think the ad pictures look cute too. Takes me back to 10th grade. Cropped ankle zip jeans were IN.

I first thought you were going to talk about those shoes the model is wearing, but then I thought no way would D want to wear those. Anyway you look so cute and the ankle jeans are too cute.
Good call! That way you don’t have that annoying bulge in ankle area or at least I have that problem.
I was going to say you have completely lost your mind! And is that a necklace?? WHO ARE YOU?!?
Adorable with the boots! Like I said before, if anyone can see the impossible, its you!
Great find, at the GAP. I will actually be posting about some finds of my own there. I also have to say great job on the lighting in your kitchen. It’s always nice to see women taking home improvment into their own hands.
I also agree that time spent in our favortie home stores would do our wallets and our waist lines good – heehee
Take care,

OK. So I saw the ankle zips and I prayed that you were going somewhere good with the rest of the post and turns out…I should have had infinity more faith in you.
Those boots are GORGEOUS by the way – where did you get them?
Great idea! I never would have thought of that.
OMG – did I really just say infinity more faith? GOING TO BED.
shut the front door! i LOVE that idea and i’ve been looking for the right jeans to pull it off. thanks!

Are those suede boots Target? I’m wearing mine today and they look very similar.
I was TOTALLY going to comment on the necklace but Allison beat me to it! Love it! And you are hawt!
I bought a pair of skinny jeans ONLY to wear them with boots. I can’t pull those suckers off without knee-high boots to hide my thick calves.
sweet!
Thanks everyone!
@Allison & Emily–LMAO! You girls know me WAY too well!
@Melissa–I knew what you meant, lol! You can have “infinity” more too if you’d like, heehee!
@mxq–“Shut the front door!” literally made me LOL! That is hilarious!!
@Emily–Yep, they’re from Target. I have them in both black and brown. Love them!
Oh–and the boots are from Target of all places! And only $20! But sadly I got them a few years ago, so you won’t be able to find them on your daily Target trips these days.
This is a good idea bc I hate when my jeans feel “scrunched” inside my boots… so annoying!
Yes, this is a great idea. I recently scored a pair of capris on the cheap because they were out of season and threw my black boots over top and tada, new jeans for winter for $7.00! I just found your blog and I really enjoy it, you’ve got really great style and practical tips (some blogs just post outrageously great things at outrageous prices, not for me) Keep up the good work!
