hello!

As a Product + Color Designer, I am curious and enjoy looking at everything, from packaging to furniture to fashion design. I love to touch and feel objects, travel and experience new cultures, and I'm a huge foodie.

This blog is about what inspires me and experiences from all five senses that I enjoy the most, plus some bits and insights of my design process.

Silence & Noise Jegging

Finally found a pair of skinny jeans that fit me! It's hard shopping for clothes because I'm short (5ft) and stocky (chunky arms and legs). Seems like skinnies are all that Urban Outfitters sells. I've tried couple of styles on before, but they looked terrible on me. Decided to try some more on since they are having a $39 denim promotion. After trying on a dozen (mix of colors, styles and sizes), I found 1 style that fits me well, so I bought it in 2 colors: Grey and Washed Black.

Online they're called Leggings, but on the actual product, Jeggings. They both have plenty of stretch and are comfy to move around in. The fabric is different for each color. Grey one almost looks like trouser material, which is part of the reason why I like it so much. Both can be dressed up or down. Washed Black is actually dark indigo, which also helps with a slimming effect. Seeing it on the table, I didn't care for the stark contrast of 2-toned ochre stitch against indigo, but I tried it anyway because the indigo is quite nice. And I'm glad I did! I love the stitching when I have them on. There are 2 front faux pockets (which I prefer) and 2 back pockets. The pants are supposed to hit the ankle, but I hemmed them to be longer.

So if you are skinny, these will make you look fabulous! If you are bigger like me, go for it and try them out! I think you will enjoy them as I do.
