I won a pair of jeans on Twitter!

I am a twitter addict! I like to follow makeup brands, fashion bloggers, clothing brands, and department stores to catch up on the latest trends and to be inspired!

Two clothing brands I follow are Elizabeth & James (@ElizandJames) and TEXTILE Elizabeth & James (@TEXTILEEandJ). Two weeks ago, TEXTILE E&J had several daily Twitter giveaways. I rarely win anything but I thought I'd give it a try. This particular day, they invited their followers to tweet their jean size and a number from 1-10. I tweeted my size and the number 4. Lucky for me, they picked number 4 as well. I was so excited to see the tweet from them informing me I was one of the winners. I DM'd them my address and about a week later, the UPS man brought me this lovely package!



These jeans are the "Iggy" style, which is a mid-rise straight leg jean. Straight leg jeans & I are best friends- that is all I wear! The wash is called "Glory Days."




I tried them on immediately (of course) and found that they fit me more like a skinny jean, or almost a legging, because the calf area was a bit more snug that I'm used to. This turned out to be perfectly fine, since I have been on the hunt for a good skinny jean!

These jeans are SO nice. They fit snugly and stretch comfortably with movement, without losing their fit or shape. (I hate when a pair of jeans stretches out as soon as you sit down once! These definitely do not).

I've never owned an item of this brand's clothing but I'm very glad that I do now. Thank you so much, TEXTILE Elizabeth & James!
