Will Work For Jeans

I’ve recently become a customer of the new branch of Lands’ End called Lands’ End Canvas – and I am obsessed!  I normally don’t spend more than $20 on a single piece of clothing for myself, but as I get older (and am forced to exclusively shop online from Likely) I realize that quality is more important than quantity.  And when you get an e-mail every other day with a discount and free shipping code, how can I resist?  I hate paying for shipping – and free shipping is where they hook me!

These are what I purchased (above) and I LOVE them!  They get softer and stretchier after you wash them more.  And the dark color gets on your hands and bleeds in the wash so be careful what they touch until they’ve been washed a few times!

I am considered petite, but only because I am short (5’3″, and I wear a 6, hovering waaayy too close to an 8 – I bought a size 29).  I am nowhere near as skinny as I’d like to be or should be for that matter, (thank you, Harper!) so I was scared of skinny jeans – but I wanted a pair of jeans that looked more professional than my worn-out-at-the-hem bootcuts.  I didn’t know where to shop until I saw this post:

Skinny jeans on a curvy girl: at petit elefant.

Check it out and don’t be scared of skinny jeans anymore!  She raves about her Lands’ End skinny jeans, and she’s a size 12.  And the author, Allison, was even kind enough to answer a few of my questions about them and help squash my skinny-jean-phobia on Twitter!  Thanks again, Allison!

Hers are the main brand’s version, but I just couldn’t help myself with the Canvas version, plus they’re $10 bucks cheaper.  And I got them with a 20% off coupon with free shipping.  They offer things like that A LOT! Plus the codes that they show for the main version work for the Canvas clothing and vice versa…so go sign up for both e-mail lists!  And be their fans on Facebook!  And if you’re like me, follow them on Twitter. 

Oh – and I also received a coupon for free shipping because of placing my order as well as a handwritten note thanking me for purchasing from them – sweet, right?  A pair of their straight leg jeans are also on their way to me as we speak – I hope I love them just as much as my skinny jeans!

Anyway, I just had to share my newest find with you all – Enjoy!
