Wear your size: It's the first and most important rule for ladies' fashion. Unfortunately, some of us are in denial. Whether you've put on a little weight, or you've been thick and lovely your whole life, sometimes we dress in what we think we can fit in when the fact is, it's too snug, and it amplifies your size. Always wear your size in whatever you wear. You will be more comfortable and feel more confident. What's the point of rocking a cute outfit if you are too busy wondering if this and that are hanging out? Similarly, when you wear clothes that are too big for you, they highlight all of the areas you're trying to hide and make you look sloppy.

Always try on your jeans. Whether you have time to try them on or not, when you have "more to love," you have to make the time. Just because a pair of jeans looks good on a mannequin doesn't mean they will look good on you. Different brands have slightly different sizes, so you should try on the jeans to make sure they fit just right. This will save you a trip back to the store if they don't, or save you embarrassment if you try to wear them fitting improperly.

Low-rise is never a good fit for the thick and lovely. If you have a bit of a gut, low-rise jeans will only make you look guttier! God forbid you should sit down, because then your crack will be showing. Do we really have to tell you that's a no-no? Instead, opt for skinny jeans that sit just at the waist. This will also help tuck you in a bit. If you have a flatter stomach than some thick and lovely women, you may be able to get away with a high-waisted skinny jean.

Wear a cute top. Balance makes fashion perfection. We don't need to wear our clothes skin-tight to look sexy. Skinny jeans are already snug, so balance that out with a looser shirt. This creates curves while hiding bumps. Baby-doll tops and extra-long fitted tees are perfect with skinny jeans.

Rock cute shoes. There are so many different styles to choose from that work well with skinny jeans. Ballet flats would be cute with your baby-doll shirt. For a more grown and sexy look, try a pair of peep-toe wedges or some sexy stilettos. Show your sporty side with some cool kicks.

Buy a basic pair of skinny jeans that's pretty plain, and be prepared to dress it up in different ways with accessories. That way you can wear if often and nobody will notice. You don't want to buy a pair of acid-wash skinny jeans for your first pair and have nothing else in your closet to go with them, or no way to wear it multiple times without the whole world noticing.

Try different cuts and washes, such as distressed, stonewashed, light, dark and so on. When you find pairs that fit and have a cut or wash you like, don't walk away from them. Be glad you've found another pair of skinny jeans that flatter you and keep you on top of the fashion wave.

Wear your jeans with confidence -- rock them! Confidence makes any outfit look 10 times better. Not to mention, you'll be miserable if you're wearing skinny jeans and worrying the whole time that you look stupid. Buy jeans that fit right, then believe in them and in you. Walk out of your home knowing you look good and stylish. And work it, girl!

Tips & Warnings
Skinny jeans are great because you can dress them up or down. You can wear them with a cute graphic tee and funky sneaks in the daytime and dress them up with a pretty fancy top and some sexy pumps for the evening.
If you lack in the back, opt for jeans with embroidered pockets instead of jeans without pockets at all.
Dark-wash jeans look great on the legs of a thick and lovely woman. Experiment with different washes. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors.
Look for jeans with less or thinner material for the warmer seasons.
We don't want to see your butt crack! So stay away from low-rise jeans, and do the sit-down test in the fitting room.
Cover up the gut. Wear looser tops to balance with a tighter bottom.
