The Necklace and The Jeans

next
The Braided Pony
I happened to swoon over this necklace from J.Crew. . .
Ain’t she a beauty?

Well, at $120.00 a pop, I couldn’t quite justify that purchase.


But THANKS to my awesome pinterest followers, I was told to go to ebay and see if I can find a similar version there.

And I did. For $17.98. 

So I bought it, pretty much expecting it to be broken, flimsy, or completely off from the picture since it was so cheap. But I was pleasantly surprised! 

It’s pretty darn close.

In other news:

I had been on the hunt for cropped skinny jeans for awhile. But after searching for what seemed like forever, and finding nothing that fit right, I was ready to give up.
In fact, I believe I said to my sister, “I’m going to give up on my search for cropped skinny jeans.”
And then I found these an hour later at Banana Republic Outlet for $29.99.

Here is what I learned from shopping for cropped skinny jeans.

1. Skinny jeans are cut narrower than other jeans. Therefore, plan on going up a size or two to find a pair that fits right but still allows your blood to circulate to your legs. My body type is not straight up and down, I’m much more curvy. So, skinny jeans are not exactly made for me, if you know what I’m saying. I wear between a 4 and 6 in jeans/pants, but went up to a size 10 for the skinny jeans. When I couldn’t get the size 6’s past my knees, I knew there was a problem.
I also hate the look of skin tight jeans. And the feeling. So the size 10’s still “fit” and I can breathe–so that’s nice.

2. Try on a bunch of different styles. I tried on straight leg jeans and just rolled the cuff up to see what they would look like. I tried on “ankle” length jeans. I tried Boyfriend jeans in a size down so they fit better ( a size down since they are cut looser than other jeans). And even after all of that, I still wasn’t finding the look I was going for.

3. Give up on the search and you’ll probably find the perfect pair. My mom, sister and I were shopping in Banana Republic Outlet. I have a love/hate relationship with that store. I like some of their clothes, but I hate their prices. And since I used to work there and reap the employee benefits (read: discount!), It’s hard to stomach a $60.00 shirt that I could have gotten for waaaay less had I not stopped working there. 
Anyway, I was showing my mom a cute top when I passed this rack of jeans. 
“Hey, aren’t you looking for skinny jeans?” she said.
“Oh! Yes! Oh, these might work. . .let me try them on really quick. . “.
And I left with a beautiful new pair of cropped skinnies.

What about you? Is there a certain item of clothing that you have trouble finding?

Very cute find! Your searching paid off for sure. And the necklace, LOVE it!! I am pretty sure I have pinned something similar. Guess I gotta check out ebay!

Hi Kate – I have the exact same necklace in black and grey, but got it on a facebook page called Accessory Auctions. And it looks identical to the J.Crew necklace. They hold “auctions” on FB every Monday night, 9:00 EST time, they are in TX. You got a better deal, mine was $30, but they have really, really cute things every week. It’s hard to not look every Monday. 🙂 Here’s the fb page link. http://www.facebook.com/#!/AccessoryAuctions

I can never find a good pair of jeans. Ones that aren’t too tight and then make you look like you have a muffin top or ones that are too loose then you look scroungy. But I went to the Levi store in LA last Oct. The jeans were expensive but they FIT and they are comfy. Now that I am pregnant I can’t wait to be able to fit into them after the baby is born. Way cute necklace, btw. I wish I hadn’t spend my spending cash this month yet so I could buy it. Hubby put me on a budget! :tee hee:

I still don’t have a pair of skinny jeans. At all. Cropped or regular. I’ve tried them on various times, but they never look right on me. I think it might be because I’m so short (5’0). They are always too long & thus look really silly. I just feel silly in them. I really do need a pair though, maybe someday…

I too was in the market for cropped skinny jeans. A new H&M opened by our house in Dallas and there they were…….so happy to hear that you had to go up a couple sizes. I was getting a little freaked, but now im in love!!! I wish I lived closer to you (I live in Dallas)….you would soooo be my hair stylist!

All Things Cherish says · 03.27.12

Your thoughts on skinny jeans are so true, it took me over a year to find ones that finally worked for me and were comfy…and I had pretty much given up the search. Did you necklace happen to come from Hong Kong or outside the US? I looked for the exact same one on Ebay but the sellers were all in Hong Kong and had 3 week shipping times so I was leery to buy.

Wow… Location says Hong Kong, but you had no problems? Maybe worth a shot… I was just always skeptical of the non-US sellers, but maybe I will finally risk it and buy the necklace (i’ve been eyeing it for months there) !

I love your outfit so cute!!! But I have issues finding jeans as well because I am a little over 5 feet but I have a short torso and long legs so the short jeans are too short and the regular length jeans are too long (unless you wear with heels) and it doesn’t help that I have a big booty. Sooo I too went on a hunt for good jeans and luckily I work at Belk so I went there first and it was then that I was introduced to Calvin Klein =) pretty much fell in love and they are the most comfortable jeans I own. I also have a pair of Jessica Simpson skinny jeans they are amazing as well!

Maybe I’m crazy, but have you tried Old Navy jeans? I bought a pair of skinny jeans there. I’m definitely NOT skinny like you (I had a baby, in my defense) but their jeans have a lot of stretch, so I’m comfortable. I bought in my size, which was a shock because I planned on going up a few sizes (same as your mentality). But they fit really well. The only thing is that you really can’t wear them more than a few days without a wash because they just permanently stretch out until they get a fresh wash. Might give it a try?

Great jeans! Have you tried out the jeans at the J Crew Outlet? I really like the ‘Matchstick’ style – they’re more of a straight leg than a skinny. I’m also on the curvier side and they usually fit me really well. They’re a little more at $40 (they’re priced higher but are often on sale) and you can get a student discount if you have a student ID you can use (or your sister’s!).

Another necklace that I am personally wishing I could have is veryyy similar from a local Charlotte jewelry company called “Towne and Reese”. Their “Harper” necklace (hah…I never stood a chance from the name alone) is gorgeousss and $50. The necklace is on back order right now because it’s so popular but I am in line for the April shipment! <3 Check it out!

I also have trouble with finding skinny jeans. I need petite, but all I find in petite are bootcut. I’m also curvy-need more in thighs and backside, and I also have a small waist. So it’s the same old story… too big in the waist, too tight in the seat.

Try and fit for your hips and tush first. You can always take the jeans to a seamstress to have the waist taken in. Hope that helps 🙂

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! I finally feel like a pin can be moved to the finished category! (I know it’s a stretch, but if you saw all the crafty stuff I pin but never do, you’d agree that I should count this. LOL)

I fell in love with the yellow one in the store, but I never wear yellow. My sweet husband told me to buy it, but when I looked at the price I just couldn’t bring myself to walk it up the to the checkout girl. Especially in yellow! So NOT a part of my typical color pallet.

I ordered that bad boy for $14.99, and can’t wait for the mailman to bring it to me.

Kate, I’m a little bit more curvy than your figure but I still have the same issues with the skinny jeans. Have you tried jeans at Ann Taylor Loft? The jeans are definitely geared towards someone NOT in their teens anymore and more women that have a normal body shape. Sometimes they are a bit pricey but they have sales at least every other week.

Kate, I definitely echo the sentiments of everyone above – great find and cute outfit! And I, too, love your blog and have shared with several friends. Oh – and I’ve tried several of your hair ideas and have gotten a lot of compliments! The one thing that really jumped out at me with this post was that maybe you need to go UP a size (or 2 or 3) to find something that fits properly. That’s a hard pill to swallow for so many girls/women out there. But once I got over the size/number factor and bought what actually FIT, I’ve been so much happier (and way more comfortable!).

Very cute outfit. I too avoided “skinny” jeans for quite some time. I am curvy and larger than a 4 or 6. I have found that “jeggings” are a really great option AND are way comfortable due to the stretch. JC Penney’s A.N.A. brand are between $20 and $25 and fit amazing. They ‘hold you in’ and have a more of a skinny jean look than a legging look. Try them on sometime.

While plenty of folks are willing to buy counterfeit merchandise, it’s not an intelligent thing to blog about or publicly promote. It’s illegal! I’m a lawyer and know what I’m talking about. The seller is breaking the law, and you broke the law by buying the necklace. In fact, several companies have successfully sued eBay for being the conduit for sellers of illegal merchandise. Consumers get sued in civil court and even prosecuted criminally occasionally for buying counterfeit merchandise. Buying this stuff is a risk. Blogging about it and actively promoting the company is just dumb.

I have similar trouble finding skinny jeans. I am pretty curvy at a size 16 and usually just use my skinny jeans when I wear my knee high boots. So after giving up my search for properly fitting skinnies I found a great tutorial to help me make my own! I found a pair of jeans at Goodwill that fit my booty well and followed the instructions to narrow the legs. I am very happy with my $5 skinnies! 😉
