I love the fit you are showing in your pic. :-)Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035572857143235621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-18257607032924847212011-01-07T18:54:26.370-05:002011-01-07T18:54:26.370-05:00fleurette: aww, you are too sweet! totally with yo...fleurette: aww, you are too sweet! totally with you on the glut of MOD images floating around... also don't believe in wearing 5 inch heels (4" is the max i will do) to compensate for not being model height. so, Sofia Coppola is a really inspiring style icon in that regard, AND she embraces her petite frame and her understated style :)<br /><br />have you browsed the selection of C/E and J brands at Revolveclothing.com? they have really good selection and the best customer service of the major online boutiques...even with the duty tax it may be cheaper than getting these brands at retail in Norway? Revolve also has great sales, as does Piperlime.miss sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-41431201670471147342011-01-07T18:24:43.116-05:002011-01-07T18:24:43.116-05:00Ah, I'm 5'4 too.

I don't own any jeans from C/E or J Brand, but I think I might check them out in the future. Too bad the jeans are REALLY expensive in Norway. I should make my US readers send me some jeans, haha..<br /><br />The jeans are perfectly cropped on you! In addition, I don't think I mentioned that this is one of the chicest outfit I've seen.

"i realized that i just don't like low-rise anything" - I've never liked low-rise, I realized that when I was 13. haha! It's a good thing that my all-time favorite jeans brand, Cheap Monday, doesn't make low-rise jeans!!Fleurettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005450822288905796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-78416799637536028062011-01-04T21:38:56.103-05:002011-01-04T21:38:56.103-05:00lin - some of the large online retailers like Revo...lin - some of the large online retailers like Revolve carry a great selection of C/Es with customer reviews, which is really helpful. but it's funny that you mention opting to tailor a pair yourself, because i believe thats what the designers behind C/E used to do with vintage denim when they were stylists!miss sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-15938659251055030622011-01-04T19:19:00.599-05:002011-01-04T19:19:00.599-05:00Great jeans!

Current Elliot seems to be the only people making slouchy skinnys. In the end, I opted to tailor a pair of jeans one size too big for me to get the look I wanted.yanqinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466658131536796827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-19217678997853994482011-01-03T20:47:22.658-05:002011-01-03T20:47:22.658-05:00nanashi - i'm with you on the denim ban. thoug...nanashi - i'm with you on the denim ban. though i just got a pair of C/Es on sale from piperlime in the post-xmas sales. :P<br /><br />julie - thanks! :) what are you fave brands?<br /><br />pret a porter - agreed with you on the britney spears issue! lol. and yes, i can see how low rise may be more flattering on some figures. i just have never found any low rise pairs that don't cut into my stomach when i'm sitting down or moving around. but i've had pretty good luck with buying denim online - with retailers that have generous return/exchange policies, of course. i'm always the same size in current/elliotts and J Brand, which makes getting good online deals quite convenient.miss sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-881419184541208802011-01-03T19:54:20.500-05:002011-01-03T19:54:20.500-05:00perfect outfit. these are my favorite type of jean...perfect outfit. these are my favorite type of jeans!Julie Harrison-Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494824451922393135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-10409503697077931412011-01-03T19:24:30.028-05:002011-01-03T19:24:30.028-05:00Looks great!

I find myself rotating between Habitual bootcut denim, Jeanshop classic mid rise denim, and fifth avenue shoe repair skinny jeans.
