Winners sweater; Dynamite jegging; Forever 21 shoes; Call it Spring scarf
I was on a mission to find high-waisted, indigo jeggings. I hate wearing a belt and I just wanted some pants that required no fuss. With a gift card and cash from my birthday, I was ready to drop some serious $$ on a great pair of designer jeans. Well, I tried a bunch on, and none were quite "right".
Defeated, I walked into Dynamite and saw these high-waisted pants. I thought to myself, there's no way.... But alas, they were perfect. The real test was how they'd hold up after a few wears.
Three outfits later and no washing, I can say they STILL hold up above my hips without a belt. Even though they have a generous stretch (giving them that jegging feel), the waist hasn't bagged out. Hallelujah! Now, not sure how these will wash since I haven't tried yet, but for about 1/4 of the price of designer jeans, I'm pretty satisfied so far :)
Also these shots are a couple weeks old.. It is now a winter wonderland and there's no way my bare ankles would survive!
I work for Dynamite and we suggest to our customers to soak our jeggings in a mix of vinegar and water before washing to lock in the colour and then wash cold and hang to dry.
ReplyDeleteI own around 10 pairs of jeggings from work and my first pair still fits like new - and it's 2 years old!
Oh great tip! Thank you!!! I have a pair from a year or two ago and they faded pretty quickly, but I love how they fit.
Deleteso simple. and perfect!

Don't you love when things work out like that? I love these jeans on you! Great casual winter look!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, it's so nice when everything seems to fall into place at one of the most unlikely times! The shopping gods were with me :)
DeleteScore on the jeans! Here's hoping they hold up well after washing!

That's a great find on the pants, they look really great on! I found a pair of high waist cargo pants at Urban Outfitters, but they get so saggy in just a few hours, it's so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteHave I mentioned how much I love that scarf? Because I do.
ReplyDeleteDynamite is one of those stores that can really deliver. I had an awesome pair of work pants from there that were just a fantastic cut, and my coworker swears by their blazers. I haven't dropped by in a while but I think I'll tour around soon! Happy you found what you were looking for :)
ReplyDeleteThats usually how it work. Major score!
