Skinny Jeans

I don't know who's bright idea it was for skinny jeans to be the "it jeans"...but I have a hunch they were blessed with no butt, slim hips, long legs, and no muffin top (and I'm not talking about cupcake's relative.) I want to wear them, but every time I put them on I want to take them right back off. Maybe it's because I wasn't blessed with all the things mentioned in my first sentence?!

I could have just gone through life never wearing them but then winter came, and boot season, and I really, really love boots. I need to be able to tuck my jeans into my boots!

I tried a pair on last week at TJ Maxx, one of my all time favorite stores. I did the whole jumping dance to get them on and then looked in the mirror and held back the vomit. Disgusting, as suspected. I literally had to peel them off, and in doing so I was peeling off my underwear at the same rate. I've got my butt exposed, I'm hoping on one foot and tugging at the pant leg trying to escape from this horrible garment. I really hope they do not have surveillance in the dressing rooms!

So I was at Forever 21 yesterday and against my better judgment I tried a pair on. Surprisingly enough they fit pretty descent (even though it is a teeny bopper store) and since they were on clearance for only $9.99 I took my chances and purchased them.

I haven't worn them yet, but maybe when I find a long shirt...
