Here's why my wife had to say about these "7 For All Mankind Women's Ankle Skinny Jean With Destroy - size 29" jeans:

"I feel like a fashion statement in these jeans!  I am a mom with 4 kids at home so I usually wear some old jeans and a flannel shirt.  It's fun to have a pair of trendy pants to wear shopping, or out with my husband and these jeans fit the bill (pun intended).  I am 5'2", 130 pounds and typically wear 28-29, or Women's 6-8; these jeans fit nicely in the waist, and are very flattering for the derriere, and through the leg, with a definite skinny-jean fit.  The denim is soft and the legs are not binding in any way - very comfortable.  Because I'm short, these are NOT ankle jeans for me, but regular length with a cuff, and I expected that.  The reinforced distressed pockets will hold up well, I think, but I've only washed them once.  The one negative thing I have to say about the jeans is that when I put them on for the first time (being careful), I stuck my toe through the unreinforced knee hole, which I have a feeling will NOT hold up over time.  I now have bare-knees showing, unlike the model in the photograph. That said, I really like these jeans for their flattering fit and trendy fashion statement."
