#jeansdujour - My "Sunday Brunch" Video wearing Addition Elle's Coloured Jeans

Hey Everyone,

This is the #jeansdujour post I've been the most looking forward to! I get to share the plus size jeans videos I made with Addition Elle!!! I think they turned out really wonderfully, and I had so much fun with the team while making them. I got to invite some friends to come along, and I brought the lovely Dayna from the blog xxelle, my friend from grad school Kelsi, and my sister Gill. We had a really great time. Here are some pictures that Dayna and I took at the shoot!



So many jeans to try on... I had such a hard time picking my favourite pair since they were all so nice!

#Jeansdujour - Yes, Plus Size Women CAN Wear (Snake Print) Skinny Jeans!!!

There is a common misconception that plus size women shouldn't wear skinny jeans. This is totally absurd. Plus size women can look great in any kind of jean, they just need to style it well! A pair of skinny jeans looks amazing with a long blouse or top, a really well-tailored blazer, and of course your favourite heels. And these are just some possible suggestions. There are so many great ways to style skinny jeans to make them look totally amazing on you. As Coco Chanel once said "Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions." You don't need to worry so much about your size, but more about the aesthetic of the shapes you are creating using different garments. Don't be afraid to experiment with coloured jeans or prints either. There are far too many women out there who are too self-conscious to try styles they're not used to, and it's such a shame. You don't know just how beautiful you are. You should feel totally free to express yourself through whatever sort of fashion calls out to you, even if that means rocking snake print skinny jeans as a plus size woman! Don't let anyone tell you what you should or should not wear just because you're plus size. Welcome to the fashion democracy, ladies!!!
