To skinny or not to skinny

I am in a fashion quandary-should I wear skinny jeans or not? They were in when I was in Junior high back in the mid 80's and it's making a major comeback the past year or so. At first, I was appalled because it felt it was not very flattering to my pear frame. Way too much hips. But now, I am seeing a lot of people wear them with boots and I have a pair of really cute boots and so I am humming and haaaing. What to do? I usually wear slightly flaired jeans to even out my hips but if Beyonce is wearing skinny jeans and she's the definition of hips...maybe I can. How lame is it when a thirty-eight year-old woman is caving in to fashion trends?!
