Skinny jeans look best on tall, thin women, but petites who are very slender can wear skinny jeans too. Skinny jeans can look good on petites who have very slender hips and legs as well as relatively long legs for their short stature. The biggest challenge will be to find truly skinny jeans because you'll find few, if any, in the petites department. Skinny jeans can be shortened, so look in the regular department for skinny jeans that aren't excessively long. Although 7 for All Mankind jeans are the top-selling jeans right now, they are typically too long for petites, so look for other brands that have a shorter inseam.

These Rich & Skinny super skinny jeans from Shopbop (Buy Direct) are a flattering dark wash and have a 31" inseam, so shortening them an inch or two, if necessary, shouldn't affect the style.
