Cigarettes, Anyone?

I'll admit that I was apprehensive about trying cigarette pants, I have a large derriere and felt that no good could come of me trying to fit it into a pair of pants that are defined as "straight and narrow." But I was pleasantly surprised at how versatile these were, you can pair them with a tunic or add a blazer for a dressier vibe. I found some black ones at Gap and I wear them with thong sandals, ballerina flats and sky high heels and they make me feel so Audrey Hepburn-ish!
