Item 97032
Regular: $108.00
Now: $29.99

"Thanks!" to Hillary (in this post) who shared with us her great review of this jean!

Hello all. Just wanted to give a quick product review on the high heel flare jean. I don't know why the website hasn't completely sold out. You should all be logging on and ordering multiple pairs right now- especially now with the faded blue wash marked down to 29.99 with the additional 20% off. I ordered my first pair just before the holidays and love them so much I ordered another yesterday for back up.

I found them to be true to size although a little snug at first. Do not be alarmed; they stretch nicely after your initial wearing. I normally am a 32 in JCrew jeans and cords and was as well in these. JCrew is the only place I feel confident ordering things from without ever having tried on that particular item- the final sale never really worries me!

The jeans are soft, the blue is vivid and unique, the pocket placement is divine and the waistline high and slimming. These literally are the jeans of my dreams and I think are vital to every woman's closet. I personally am over seeing every single person in the free world wearing skinnies skinnies skinnies. Viva la high heel flare!


"Thanks!" again to Hillary (in this post) for her review! :)

High-Heel Flare Jean In Indigo Wash
Click here for product page
Item 96949
Regular: $120.00
Now: $59.99

I tried on the jeans in the Faded Blue Wash in the store a couple of times, because I really wanted them to work out. Especially since they (1) look great on the hanger and (2) are priced at just $19.99 (which is before the additional 30% off). However, I found the length of the jeans way too long (and it looked weird when I tried to see what it would look like hemmed).

Although the Faded Blue Wash didn't work out for me, the High-Heel Flare Jean in Indigo Wash looked great on. (Weird, I know! It's the same jean, with the same length, just different shade. Yet one pair worked for me, while the other did not.) I found the Indigo Wash pair true to size. The jeans are not stiff, but not as soft as the faded blue wash.

While I found the Faded Blue Wash version looking very "flared" on me, the Ultra-Dark Indigo pair did not come across as "flared" but more like a trouser leg. (This might be because of the shade itself). Moreover, I found these jeans a bit more versatile, in that it can be dressed up or down because of the indigo wash shade itself. As a result of the shade and trouser-ish leg, the pair of jeans had a wonderful slimming effect (as I did appear longer and leaner). Overall, I highly recommend these jeans. :)

What are your thoughts on the high heel flares (do you like/dislike the style, design, fabric, shade/wash, length)? Are you considering or already have purchased either pair of jeans? Have you seen these jeans in person? If so, please share with us your reviews too! :)
