Ava Skinny Jeans

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a solid pair of jeans. The Lucky Brand is one of the only brands that has consistent sizes so I often feel very comfortable ordering them online without trying them on. In this case, I ordered a style and size I already had and sure enough, it fit straight out of the mail. Down side 1: the crotches of Lucky denim wear out *really* fast. This was a replacement for a first pair that had nothing wrong with it save for its crotch holes. I wish the powers at be at Lucky would figure out a way of reinforcing them because no amount of mending on my end has ever helped. Down side 2: This pair, like the pair it replaced, comes with a nasty chemicaly odor. It's the same odor, so at least it's consistent but each time it takes no fewer than 2 washes and a whole lot of febreze to get the smell out. It's awful. All that said. I'll definitely be back for a replacement pair whenever this one's crotch falls apart, after about 20-30 full-day wears.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm gradually adding looser styles to my closet, but these couldn't be nicer skinnies. Soft, flattering, hold their shape, are the perfect mid-rise (thank you for not being high!!) and TTS. I'm 5'5" 120lbs, curvy, and my usual 26 fit like they were made for me.
