Since delivering my twins seven weeks ago, I’ve been searching high and low for a pair of jeans that will help flatter my postpartum body, without breaking the bank. Who wants to invest lots of money in a pair of jeans a size larger than you care to be {and that will hopefully be too large on you soon!}, right?! During this search, my fabulous, fashionable sister-in-law, Ashley, turned me on to the J.Crew Toothpick Jean. I admit I was quite skeptical that my post-baby body could squeeze into anything with the name “toothpick,” but I tried them on anyway and was pleasantly surprised by the flattery of these jeans. {I choose the darkest rinse denim color for the most slimming look possible.}

Priced at $125 retail, I found the Toothpick at the J.Crew Factory Outlet for 40% off of $59.99. bringing them to just $35.99! The Factory Outlet regularly carries the Toothpick {as well as the Matchstick, its counterpart} in most all stores. These jeans are definitely worth the drive to your nearest outlet mall if you are on the hunt for a great pair of skinnies. Better yet, try the jeans on for size at your local retail store and call the outlet to hold your size before making the trip. For the best fit, look for a pair with some stretch in the fabric (not all the Toothpick’s have the stretch).

At this price, you can purchase TWO pairs for about half the cost of one retail pair {which is exactly what I did}!

J.Crew has added to its ever-growing list of brand-partnerships a Levi’s Jeans collection for men and boys. The straight-leg Levi 501 debuted over 100 years ago and remains a trend-setter staple, as well as a collector’s item, today. This specific jean in a go-with-anything wash is made exclusively for J.Crew. Priced at a reasonable $98, this denim staple will go the distance and last for years.

My newest favorite pair of jeans is the Citizens of Humanity ‘Ava’ Straight Leg Stretch Jeans in Faith Wash ($163). These jeans are incredibly comfortable, soft and flattering…which is a difficult combination to find! I love that the straight leg tucks nicely into boots and also looks fab paired with heels or flats. If you are on the market for  a new pair of jeans, you must try this pair! And, if you purchase these at Nordstrom today through Sunday, you will receive triple points on your Nordstrom Card!
