If you wear petite pants like I do, then you get really excited when you find something in petite sizing which is also on trend or fashionable. Nothing is more mundane than having to alter jeans or pants because they are too long. So, when I spotted these wide leg jeans in petite sizing, I was hooked!

I love jeans. If you have been following along, you probably already figured that out. haha. I wear jeans more than any other type of clothing. Nothing irks me more than having to get my jeans shortened. It’s costly, plus it takes time away from wearing my brand new pants/jeans! These fabulous petite jeans are perfectly on trend and can be worn the day you buy them. If you wear petite pants, you totally get this!

Since I was armed with new jeans that I didn’t need to get shortened, I decided to wear them out with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun for a yummy lunch. We decided to meet in Los Gatos and have lunch at Zona Rosa. If you are local, and you haven’t eaten at Zona Rosa, you are missing out! The food is delicious and there is a really cute outdoor seating area. It was a little cold, so we ate inside. But, when the weather warms up, you will catch us outside!

So, if you are petite, check out these jeans online here. They are also available in regular and tall sizes. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Denim pencil skirt outfit ideas: denim pencil skirt / statement earrings / black long sleeve tee / stripe tee / blue tee / pendleton sweater / striped sweater / classic black belt / fall nail polish / black shoulder bag / green shoulder bag / black hobo bag / small black baguette / small brown messenger bag / lug sole boots / western style black boots / mary janes /

How cute is this long, denim pencil skirt! There are so many outfit ideas surrounding this pencil skirt, the options are endless! When the weather is still warm, during the early part of the fall season, pairing this denim pencil skirt with a long sleeve tee is easy and chic. It looks fabulous with a small shoulder bag, hobo bag, or your favorite daytime tote. When the weather cools down later in the season, top the skirt off with a sweater!

Instead of wearing jeans everyday, the denim pencil skirt offers a casual and comfortable option which is slightly dressier than traditional jeans. Love that!

There are many denim pencil skirts on the market right now, but I love this one since it has a dark wash, soft denim fabric, and two slits instead of one. Most of the skirts we are seeing right now have one slit, I prefer two. This gives you more room for walking and since there are two slits on the side instead of one in the front, this skirt is much easier to sit in! haha

How to keep your jeans from shrinking

how to keep your jeans from shrinking

How many times have you purchased the perfect jeans, with the perfect fit, and the perfect length? Then, you go to wash them, and they shrink! My hand is way up! Thankfully, I have found a solution to the incredibly shrinking jeans; and it isn’t rocket science. Love that!

So, without further ado, here is how to keep your jeans from shrinking. It is quite simple. Although the instructions on the label of your jeans may say warm water is OK, or a low dryer temperature is OK, trust me, it is not. When it comes time to wash your jeans, you should always, without fail, wash them in cold water. The instructions on the jeans will lead you astray; unless they say dry clean only. If that is the case, you have some fancy fabric, and I would not mess with it; take them to the dry cleaners.

After washing your jeans in cold water, never ever, and I mean never ever, throw them in the dryer. Immediately flatten your jeans and hang them to dry. The best way to allow your jeans to dry is to hang them in a place where air can get around them. A shower curtain rod or door hook is typically ideal. You can also drape them over a towel rack; not the rack attached to the wall, the free-standing rack you can move around. I would place the towel rack in the bathtub so the jeans can drip and also get 360 degrees of air.

The downside to air drying your jeans, is that they will be stiff and possibly wrinkled. You can solve this by putting them on for a few minutes and walking around the house. Do a few shallow squats, and voila! Your jeans will be ready to wear.
