Let’s Kick Off 2013 in Style: Lee Jeans Review & Giveaway {3 Winners}

If you are anything like me, you start off the new year with several resolutions, health and wellness goals, closet purging and wardrobe updates. So I thought, why not start off the new year in theme with new beginnings and host a fashion giveaway and let three of my readers pick out a fabulous new pair of jeans to help start 2013 in style. Sound good?

First let me tell you a little bit about my experience with Lee Jeans. A couple of years ago while attending the BlogHer conference, I had the opportunity to meet with a Lee Jeans stylist, try on several pairs of jeans and pick my favorite to wear and enjoy. Well in all honesty, I must confess that my perception of Lee Jeans was not all that positive. I thought that the brand was dated, cheap looking and not at all fashion forward, and boy was I WRONG!! T0 my pleasant surprise, the denim was modern, super soft and comfy, fashionable and probably most surprising to me, fit my curvy body like a glove, no alterations necessary!!

I was pretty wowed but the fit of these jeans, because nine times out of ten, I spend a fair amount of money getting my jeans taken in at the waist in order to fit my hourglass shape, so this was a huge bonus (and many of their styles come in plus sizes too.) Add to these benefits, the price which is super affordable at around $40-50 and typically on sale for much less. I loved my first pair of Lee jeans so much, and they have continued to be one of my go to favs for quite a while.

This holiday season, Lee Jeans reached out to me and asked if I would like to review some of their newest styles and then give a few pairs away, and given my affinity for the brand I jumped at the chance! Following is my review of three wonderful new pairs of jeans available on Lee.com as well as a GIVEAWAY for three lucky winners who will be able to choose any item they desire on this website.

Curvy Nina Bootcut in Raw ($48 on sale now for $29.99)

Lee Jeans Nina

I am wearing the Nina Curvy Bootcut in the picture above. The Lee Curvy Fit Jeans have more stretch in their denim which allows them to comfortably hug and flatter my curves. The Nina style sits lower on the waist and fits close through the seat and thigh.

This style also has back flap pockets with contrasting stitching, which I think totally flatters and minimizes your tush. I also love the rich dark finish of these jeans which is more accurately shown in the pocket photo. I love how these jeans look and feel on my body-sexy, fashionable, curve loving and super comfortable!

Gold Label Amber Vintage Flare in Raisin ($60 on sale now for $39.99)

Lean Jeans Vintage Flare

How cute are these vintage flare corduroy pants in that warm rich raisin color? LOVE! This is an on-trend flare pant that sits lower on the waist with double belt loops and figure flattering flap back pockets.

The name of the detailed view image

I love the retro feel of these pants, the gorgeous color and the flared out leg is fun and flattering. I have totally been wearing these pants this winter with a yummy, cozy cream sweater and chunky platform heels. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on these vintage pants.

Slender Secret Bailey Flap-Pocket Bootcut Jean ($54 on sale now for $35.99)

Lee Jeans Ivy

Who doesn’t want to look more svelte? Well, Lee’s Slender Secret Jeans, with it’s ultra stretch fabric that retains it’s shape, smooths out your body and makes you look slimmer! I adore this fabulous jean (I’m wearing the Ivy Flap Pocket Jean in the picture above, but the Bailey is equally as FAB just with different pocket detailing pictured below.) Not only is this Slender Secret jean incredibly comfortable, fashionable and curvy loving, it also makes you looks pounds thinner! Me likie!

    The Lees look great on you! I would choose a pair of Comfort Waist Vanburen Trouser, though instead of denim jeans. I discovered them when I was having sensitivities to denim. I would get rashes around my upper thighs and navel areas. They are very comfortable and I love the dressy look =D
