The skinny jean is a garment I normally shy away from: 1. They are the uniform of 20 somethings and 2. I don't really do jeans, partly because they cut me off in all the wrong places and I prefer to wear dresses and skirts. In my early teens I owned a pair of bright orange crushed cotton Versace (pure galice) skinny Jeans, they still holiday in the back of my wardrobe; unfortunately I can't get them above my knees! 
Trends, it's swings and roundabouts and the coloured skinny jean has made a little resurgence. Mentioned previously, I normally don't entertain jeans but the colour of these pure 'mint' skinnies and the price tag caught me eye. On sale in Sportsgirl for $35, reduced from $99, bargain. I forked out 130 quid for my Versace pair 20 years ago (payed for them with my bursary which was supposed to pay for books and college stuff; I was a very fashion conscience student with no books). Teamed with a few other green pieces I think they work for a casual Summer look, what do you think?

I like to lounge

This is my favorite lounging chair. My little boy uses it as a climbing frame but when he's having an afternoon nap I like to put my feet up, have a cuppa and take time out for myself. Today I'm dressed very casual in jeans but I can't resist a heel to give the outfit a wee bit of sleekit glamour. I've had these jeans for forever, bought on a trip to Glasgow, they are fraying at the bottom and endless washing has given them great character. Scott Walker on the playlist, bliss.
