If you watch "The Oprah Show," you saw Cookie Johnson, Magic Johnson's wife, debut her CJ jeans collection the other week. The jeans are made for women with curves and booty. Like most women, I'm always looking for the perfect pair of jeans and because Oprah raved about them - she actually said they felt like pajamas - I had to try them for myself.
When I asked for the CJ jeans at Nordstroms today, the sales associate said they have been flying off the shelves since Cookie was on "Oprah." I wasn't surprised because anything Oprah praises turns to gold.
I tried on the black straight (skinny) leg and they felt and looked sooo good. First, there's plenty of stretch, so they fit like a glove, and the satin-lined waistband added extra comfort. I'm 5'6'' and the pants slightly puddled at the bottom, so for taller women, you will still have room at the foot if you want to pair them with heels. But they would also look great with flats or tucked into boots. They come in black, grey and blue rinses.
These jeans aren't for the budget conscious; they start at $141, but that is on par with other designer jean labels.
Here's the collection:
These are the ones I tried on. They are a little more tapered at the bottom than they appear on the model. They are $161.
These are the bootcut. They are $141.
Cookie had to include a boyfriend look, since this is the hottest trend in jeans. Your boyfriend will love you in these at$196.
If you're looking for a trouser jean that's work appropriate on casual Fridays, these are a winner at $198.
These jeans are actually leggings, or "jeggings." And they are the perfect way to show off your shape. They sell for $145.
