Pegged in the 80's

So, along with my studded leather jacket I also picked up a couple pairs of jeans. Don't you just love how I say picked up? If you only knew how long it took me to decide which jeans to pick up! Determining which ones felt the best, looked the best and hurt my wallet the least took hours. Such hard work, ha!

One of the pairs I chose were these black Current Elliott's. They have cool zippers at the ankle and I love the wash, not too dark but not too faded.

When I got them home and read the inside tag I knew I had made the right decision.

A TRUE EIGHTIES SKINNY WITH ALL OF THE TRICKS TO 

SLIM THE HIPS AND SLENDER THE LEGS. 

Clearly, they were made for me because no one and I repeat NO ONE *pegged their jeans better than me back in the day. Snap.

*Fashion 101: the 80's and the pegged jean:
Pegging your jeans is what we did long before skinny jeans arrived on the scene. To make a normal straight legged jean look skinny you fold the jeans around your calf and then cuff (or roll) them while holding the excess denim tightly around your leg. I recommend leaving the first cuff a little loose so that you're able to make the second cuff. You want a minimum of two cuffs. If you've done this correctly (tightly), no readjustments will be needed during the day.

Aaah, sigh, good times.
