Review: Jeanology for Newport News

Colored denim has turned up as a trend this summer that appears it will stick around through the fall as well.

Do not be distressed by the high-priced, limited-sized colored denim you see featured in the magazines. Old Navy has them for $37.50 and I just saw some cute red skinnies at Target for 20-odd dollars.

But I found a great deal in the pages of Newport News's catalogue. For $19, or 2 for $17, you can find colored denim as part of its Jeanology line in a variety of cuts and sizes. Straight legs and flares go up to 18, while slim fits go up to 16.

I ordered a pair of the slim fit red jeans. They look really cute, fit really well, and the twill denim does a good job of holding in and shaping the legs, thighs, and tushie. Some people find stiff denim less comfortable and harder to move around in, but the advantage is that it works like Spanx, heh heh. And there's no beating the fantastic price.
