Wear It Now Or Win It Later: YMI Extreme Legging Jeans

YMI Extreme back

That's me in my new YMI Extremes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 










And mankind created legging jeans. And he saw that it was very good. Behold! YMI Extreme is the new legging jean that will make fashionistas devout believers. The denim gods must have heard my cry for legging jeans, because, like a miracle, I received a brand new pair of the YMI Extreme Skinny legging jeans.  They were the solution to my current snowjogger boot addiction, because the darn jeans stayed inside!  No socks, rubber bands or clips needed.  I love low-maintenance jeans. 

The Extreme is YMI Jeanswear’s new legging jean collection.  Mine came in a 32″ inseam, but they fit me perfectly (I normally prefer a 31″ or 30″).  As tight as they are — they’re called legging jeans for a reason – I don’t feel like it’s cutting off circulation.  Even though they say you get what you pay for, you certainy get a lot for your money here (retails for only $38).  It is well-constructed throughout, complete with custom hardware (button and rivets).  So, now, the dilemma is: what shoes do I wear with them? Booties? Snowjoggers? Knee boots? Ballerinas? Stilettos? Geepers. They all work!

If you aren’t lucky enough to snag a pair of Extremes, here’s your chance to win a pair and some other fab prizes on YMI’s Facebook contest page.

- Win a $500 shopping spree
- Win a pair of YMI Extreme Jeans
- Win Krista’s debut album

*Contest ends January 4, 2010.

denimology_j_brand_440px

 

As a huge fan of J Brand jeans myself, I found myself coveting all the jeans this contest promises to deliver to the winners.  I always complained in the past that I never win contests, but when it comes to things I really want — not a water bottle or a keychain – it’s always worth a shot at an entry.

From Denimology:

Five lucky winners will receive their choice of jeans from the latest styles featured in J Brand’s new campaign (see below). Pick from J Brand’s Classics, the Pencil Leg in Ink or the Skinny Leg in Jett. Or, choose from J Brand’s new line, J Brand Boutique, the Pencil Leg in Slash Berlin or Q in Nebraska. Prizes subject to availability, value of $158-222.00. Click here to read the full story…
