My favorite pair of jeans…
The pair of jeans that got me through the summer…The jeans that I wore on my first date with tfTHG…The jeans that always made me feel sexy when I wore them with heels! They looked great in flippies and tennis shoes as well. These jeans are the best.
Now sadly they must be put away…
They did not die to a fatal bleach accident or acquire holes in unrepairable locations. They are simply TOO BIG!
Yes, it’s true. I have now lost enough weight it’s time to retire an item of clothing! How cool is that?! I think it is very cool, but I feel like I am losing an old friend.
I wore them today just because they are my old friend and with the weather I felt like something comforting was called for. However, after 30 minutes of wearing them I noticed they were way too baggy. A coach walked in a short while ago and asked how much weight I’ve lost, because I have “droopy drawers”.
Yes my friends, I have totally kicked some ass literally OFF my body!
Fortunately, I have acquired FOUR new pair of jeans that were already in my closet, so I’m not out a bunch of money in replacement costs.
It’s just so darn scary to lose a pair of jeans!!
Ladies, you know what I’m talking about. You find one fit that works with you no matter your mood and you take care of them. You love them and they love you back in the form of glances, whistles, date invitations etc…
Ok, so that last one hasn’t happened in a while, but I don’t blame the jeans. I did, however, get a younger man to say “you are REALLY pretty” as I walked past his group of guys a few short weeks ago!
**There were no other women on the street, so it’s safe to say the comment was directed at me…and if not, I’m taking it!**
A good fitting pair of jeans can make or break your day. If they are too loose you feel silly and if they are too tight, well that’s just a literal pain in the heiny! When a pair of jeans fit right, oh my! You walk a little taller with more of a swagger. Your smile is brighter and your eyes shine more!
Here is my dilemma de jour; I have four “new” pair, but I am not entirely sold on any of them just yet. They don’t have the feel or look my current faves have. What am I to do?! It is hard to find a good pair of reasonably priced jeans that hug curves, not broadcast them in an unflattering light.
I cannot live without jeans to wear. They ARE my wardrobe staple. I feel like I rock the jeans better than anything else. I’ve looked the interwebs over to find a pair that wows and attracts me to them.
My favorite store is even moving away from denim and towards slacks and work apparel…
“My favorite store” being Banana Republic.
Their classic boot cut is not a “flare” and works over any kind of shoe. I particularly love them over my heels. BR also has a “curvy” cut for us gals who have a woman’s body, not a stick.
That’s how I describe their current styles…”sticky” because they are made for stick-like figures.
I love me some BR, but have decided to put the credit spending on hold until summer. So the four pair in my closet better last a while! Hopefully by summer even they will be baggy and need to be replaced! Hopefully by some of the Lucky jeans TMAM has waiting for me in her closet!!!
