I'm all about embracing the trends that make sense for me. Leopard print shoes? Fine. Skinny jeans? Okay. Stripes? I'm all over that. But I can't seem to get behind patterned jeans and I'm seeing them everywhere. They scream 1991 to me, and I just don't think they're particularly cute. However, this is from the girl who refused to believe that skinny jeans were a trend to watch, and now all of my other jeans seem so big and bulky, so I'm certainly no authority.

I'm almost certain I had this exact pair of jeans in sixth grade.
LOFT Modern Super Skinny Leopard Spots Print Corduroy
Is it just me, or do these look like a curtain?
Okay, I actually kind of like these. They also come in black and I really like the polka dot trend. But, do I like them enough to wear them all over my legs? I'm still not sold.
Weigh-in readers. I want to hear if you're loving or hating this particular trend.

I cannot get behind them. Especially the floral ones, but in general I'm not a fan.
HOWEVER, if you see me walking around two years from now wearing some, you will know for a fact that I am a sheep! (It's happened before.)

I just can't do it. It feels wrong to me. But I'm still refusing to acknowledge skinny jeans so I might not be the best expert on this.

I just...no. I'm really not into all this fashion that already went around when I was in junior high. Apparently it brings back a lot of teenage angst :(

I... really love patterned bottoms. I think there are definitely "good" and "bad" patterns, but as long as they are slim cut I think they... kind of look good? Don't kill me, internet!
Here are some patterns I think are "good":

You guys are so my people. It seems like it's the floral that I'm most bothered by. And the animal print. It seems to scream LOOK AT MY LEEEEGS!

I think part of my problem is that I'm picturing *my* body in patterns jeans and I look NOTHING like the models pictured above. AT ALL. So. Perhaps that's part of my reservation.

Ugh. No. Please no. Not for me at least. Give me dark wash boot cut any day.

Well. I swore colored skinny jeans were ridiculous and now I own and love a fuscia pair. But I really don't think I could ever buy floral jeans even if everyone else does. That's just not going to be flattering.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I'll definitely be back.
