Enter to Win - NYDJ (Not Your Daughter's Jeans) Giveaway

NYDJ (Not Your Daughter's Jeans) has quickly become a favorite denim brand of mine, as I had recently visited their showroom to preview the NYDJ Fall/Holiday 2011 collection.

Every pair of NYDJs is designed with their own slimming technology - a patented criss-cross panel to gently tuck and premium stretch denim that works to lift and shape. The Universal Fit means that every pair of NYDJs is proportioned the same from the waist through the hips, so you get the same flattering fit no matter which style, color or wash you choose!

One reader will win a pair of NYDJ, choosing any style available on the NYDJ site.

To enter, leave a comment on this post stating which NYDJ pair you want.
