I went shopping for skinny jeans yesterday. Mission aborted.
In the "Women Over A Certain Age"(like 16) department I found very few pairs of skinny jeans. In the Junior Department however skinny jeans were everywhere. With coaxing from my daughter I tried a pair on from the junior department. Humiliating. All the bad adjectives could be inserted here. Not a good look. I tried the skinny jeans from the "older" department. Still not a good look. My conclusion: Not everyone should wear skinny jeans. I will need to find another way to wear the fabulous boots.
I also tried a pair of Not Your Daughter's Jean that I had heard great things about. Didn't like those either. For one they ran about 2 sizes too small. If I am going to pay $100+ a pair (not that I ever would) I want them to lie to me and tell me I am 2 sizes smaller than I really am, not 2 sizes larger. Why would I pay that much to feel worse about myself? I can do that by standing at the right angle in the privacy of my own room, for free. I really thought I would LOVE these jeans and be willing to put them on my charge account. Didn't happen. They say they "lift and tuck", but let me tell you all they lift and tuck has to go somewhere...spilling out other places...not pretty.
I am praying that bootcut and straight leg never go out of fashion or I will be in trouble. I think I am going back to my Levi's, or maybe a good ol' pair of sweats. Did I tell you that not everyone should wear skinny jeans?

This post totally made me laugh. Only because I know what you are talking about. From losing weight I went and tried on jeans and the "styles" that I like (low cut on waist) I have to say is not a flattering style for a 38 year old woman. I have realized yes I have lost weight but I do not have the body of a 21 year old. I hope eventually you will find the style of pants for your boots before spring and summer hit.
Awesome. Just when I thought I was gonna head out for a pair of momma/skinny jeans ... it's good to know not to waste my time. So now how do we wear the boots???
Okay...that was too funny! So what did you decide on to wear with the awesome boots?
You are certainly a braver woman than I.
My girls would have freaked if I even put them on, or tried I should say. I will just stick to my Lee Riders.
OK Jill...catching up on blog stuff tonight...you are too funny...but oh can I relate. I don't like shopping for jean in general due to many of the things you just mentioned. After much shopping the other week because my only jeans were, well, all worn out, I found a pair of black jeans that seemed to do OK. I washed them once and now they fit like skinny jeans...and I don't feel so pretty in 'em. Maybe they are the answer to your boots? Wanna give 'em a try?
