It’s almost the weekend but it’s still the week so I thought I’d split this post into two. (Consider it wishful thinking.) Basically here is what I love about coated skinnies — they look enough like leather pants (these specifically) but they are less expensive and they’ve got some give, if you know what I mean. Fake it till you make it, right? 
So this is what I’ll probably be sporting this weekend. Oh and speaking of the weekend, we are gearing up for Oktoberfest on the square in McKinney. And you are all invited, mainly because it’s free and open to the public. Isn’t Small Town, USA the best?

  1. I think I have all the pieces to recreate the Weekday outfit, but I am going to try it this weekend. Thanks for the great idea…as always!

    Also, I LOVE the Kali Open Block Sweater at Bloom. Will that be coming back in stock in more sizes?

  2. This post is so helpful! Of course I’ve seen the coated skinnies at Gap by now and truthfully I just didn’t know what to do with them!

    P.S. I’m seriously considering a trip to Texas just so I can see the store, the town, & you! haha

  3. Love this! I have/had? a pair of coated skinnies, but they’ve lost their coating.. am I crazy? They were from F21 so maybe that’s why. I guess it’s time to reinvest. I also want to second the vote that your hair looks incredible.

  4. Great outfits – especially love the weekday look!

  7. i didn’t know ON had coated skinnies! i have the Madewell ones (bought them last december) and seriously wear them almost every day. they no longer look coated but they have worn really great. might have to check these out!

  8. love the weekday look! I just bought these and kind of only thought they’d be “going out” pants. Great inspiration Kendi, as usual!!

  9. Coated skinnies from Old Navy huh? Well how fabulous! I can’t remember the last time I bought something for myself from Old Navy actually…

  10. I just picked up some waxed skinnies too! Love them. Love the way you styled them!

  11. The waxed skinnies are amazing on you!! I feel like they’d be hard to pull off but you are rocking them! Love the first outfit especially!

  12. The jeans are badass. I didn’t know Old Navy carried coated ones. Must. Resist. Shopping.

  15. Just can’t get into the coated jeans thing. They just don’t look like they would feel comfortable on. I’d look like a sausage casing, haha. Ah well. Some trends are best left to the skinny chicks in my life.

  16. So drooling over the Winston boots! And your bag is perfect in both looks!

  17. I cannot believe these coated jeans are from Old Navy !!! They also come in a few other colors so you can take this trend to a whole new level & they are on sale for under $30…win win !

    Today on my blog I posted a few fab items all under $50..Thrifty Thursday !!!

  31. Hi! I love those jeans and love how you styled them both for the weekday and weekend. I like the basic tee for the weekday outfit with the blazer to give it a more businessy look.

    Agh, I wish Octoberfest was free in Miami 🙁

  41. Love both styles!!! Wondering where you got the necklace for your weekend look – it my favorite piece of the post!!! 🙂

  42. Love those jeans, especially in the first look with the grey tee! 🙂 Sadly all of the coated jeans I’ve come across are magnets for fluff, but I hold out hope that one day I’ll find a nice pair 🙂

  46. I bought some liquid leggings a few years ago, and they are definitely one of my favorite fall staples. I’ve been wanting a similar look in a jean (so I don’t have to cover my bum :)) Great option!

  47. I have been looking for pants similar to these for quite some time! I knew I didn’t want tight legging ones (my short stumpy legs can’t handle them) but these look perfect!

  49. I’m very happy that I now know that it is okay to wear booties with cropped pants. I was always unsure if that little bit of skin showing around your ankle was a big no-no. Glad to see it’s not since I have tons of booties and way too many cropped skinnies. Yay! Probably gonna sport the look tomorrow 🙂

    Thanks Kendi!

  50. I owned a kick-ass pair from GAP for all of two days before I decided I probably needed a pair two sizes larger to look less crammed in and more poured in. You are totally rocking them! Maybe after a few more months of running, I will own a pair forever…. 🙂

  53. Hey Kendi, I have the GAP version of the coated jeans and within a week of wearing them that coated part came off, I was wondering if your old navy pair did the same?

    1. woah! no mine haven’t worn like that at all! now i haven’t washed them yet so I’ll report back when I do…have you taken them back to see if they could exchange or anything? that is not a good thing…

  56. SO curious where you got that second necklace from? It looks very similar to one I have that I found in my grandmother’s jewelry box after she passed… it was a trinket from Niger, Africa and the symbol is called an Agadez cross. It’s given to their young to protect them when they leave the home and head out to explore, which I thought was fitting as I found it right before I left on a six month trip to Asia. Anyways I’ve never seen another piece like it (besides on google haha) so I was just curious 🙂
