| How many do I own, or how many fit? |
^^ THIS is the question! That I wear/fit: Dark, straight leg Skinny jeans (also dark) Wide leg (medium wash) Straight leg (black) Capris (dark) Another half dozen that are too big right now, but will probably fit again one day before I go back to dieting to get into thr above |
| Seven. Five for work. Two for gardening/painting & other messy work around the house. |
They are garments of the poors. |
1. I don't like pants in general. I feel like my crotch is exposed and I'm not thrilled with the shape of my thighs and butt (skinny). I wear dresses or skirts 90% of the time. 2. Even for pants, jeans are especially 'hard.' the fabric is stiff and I don't feel like I can move as easily as I can in a skirt, leggings, or knit pants. 3. I hate the metal waistband button. I even once had an allergic ratio to one of these, although it was on stretchy khakis, not jeans. 4. Jeans aren't my style. I love they way they look on other women, but my personal style is more retro, feminine, and dressy. The way I dress is a bit out of step with the other moms I see around the DC area, but I'm staying true to my style. |
