Leather or Wax?

My quest for the perfect leather legging has lead me here...

Of course the $895.00 price tag was just too crazy, I mean you can fly to Europe for that kind of coin!


Of course you cannot go cheap, then you just look like you wrapped your legs in garbage bags...


What's a girl to do??

This is when my friendly Nordstrom salesgirl stepped in with her solution, waxed jeans.  She found this pair of waxed jeans by AG for me.  They really look like leather, but since they are waxed they are much more affordable.  I have been seeing waxed jeans everywhere this season, up until about a month ago I had never even heard of this.  I decided to bite the bullet and get this pair.  We have a busy weekend coming up so my timing is perfect.

What do you think about waxed jeans?

  9. I JUST tried these on today! I loved them but they didn't have my size so decided to go with the Seven waxed ones. I too could not fathom paying so much for the leather ones!

  11. I can't WAIT to get some pants like this...probably waxed ones, just so I can say I'm wearing waxed pants. I bet they look so good with a bright blouse!

    They are really more a legging, but it made me think of some of your pictures. Just passing it along.
