shopping
I’m in the market for some new jeans. I love jeans. Wear them everyday. We joke in our family that it is the commodity I most favor {want to buy yourself flight lessons? Sure, but I get a new pair of jeans.}
So I figured I should start searching online to see what is out there.
Good Lord, look what I found:
I don’t really get the skinny jean thing. Very few people can actually pull it off, and even then, I don’t find it very flattering. Sorry if I offend you.
And apparently The Gap wanted to bring back the terrible mom jean. Geesh.
So I flipped over to American Eagle. They have lots of inexpensive jeans and are dressing the teens of the world.
Not much better.
Again, a terrible skinny jean.
And then a bootcut one that looks like leg-warmers.
This one is called the boyfriend jean {yes, the boyfriend who wads up his jeans, throws them on the floor, then rolls out of bed in the morning and puts them on – that is exactly who I’d like to base my fashion on}.
No luck on American Eagle. So off I head to Martin & Osa. A brand I like for their casual sophistication.
Not so much. This is a MODEL and she looks all bumpy. What in heaven’s name would these look like on a girl who just birthed my fourth baby?!
WHAT???!!!!
Seriously, the are selling slouchy pegged leg jeans. In a light wash. With PLEATS.
I think I need to just stick with my tried and true Seven A pocket.
