I'm thinking conservative Christian culture. I have some relatives who think women should always wear skirts/dresses and pants are for men.

I'm certainly curious about the backstory but good for you! It's an exciting day when we try something new for the first time even though it's old hat to most. I can remember being a plus size teen finding out for the first time that they made jeans in my size. Was thrilled. So I get it and I am happy for you!

You never owned jeans?

Jeans and their many washes are garments that are very hard on the environment, particularly in terms of water pollution.

I buy a lot of clothes second hand on Poshmark and I make a point of not buying new jeans. Plus, on those sites (or thrift stores), you can usually find designer items at affordable prices.

I don't fault you for being excited about a new pair of jeans, though, OP! It's nice to have that experience! But hopefully you'll come to the realization that there isn't that much difference, and being eco-friendly also has its importance.

Congrats, OP. Out of all the styles, cuts and colors, how did you determine what you wanted?

Thank you! I actually read some posts here..I didn't want the wide boot cut ones so that made it easier to pick.

Why?

Very, very long story/life but I got my first ever new pair of jeans at 47 and am wearing them today. They feel a little stiff. I hope I feel like I deserve them more soon it feels strange but good and a little exciting to me.
