Denim and Diamonds

little jenni about 4 or 5?


Despite the fact that I'm a card carrying West Texas Girl, I've never been much into jeans. 

Except for those few years in elementary school when I was obsessed with obtaining as many pairs of Girbaud jeans and jean shorts as possible (red jeans, light wash denim, even a pair of green and black striped jean shorts), and my senior year in high school when I virtually lived in a pair of jeans, some Nike kicks, and a rotating variety of GAP Anoraks (I know...), jeans were never really my go-to garment. 

In Dallas, it's so humid and gross for so many months of the year, I just can't bring myself to wear them.  And, since I am a teacher, jeans aren't accepted work attire, so I never really shop for them. 

Jeans are weird.  I know that some girls are obsessed with theirs, have a zillion different washes and cuts and lengths hanging out in their closets, but I just don't enjoy them.  Something that should be so easy to work with is just too much.  Something that looks so great on virtually 90% of the female population just doesn't really work for my body--or at least the way I perceive my body.

But today, I am wearing jeans.  And, reader, I'm pretty happy with them. 

Especially when paired with my favorite pink driving mocs I bought in Provence several years ago.  When these pearlescent, well-loved babies go, I will cry. 


What are you wearing this weekend?  Jeans?  PJs?

I don't know what driving mocs are, but those shoes are the coolest shoes evurrrr!
I kind of hate jeans too. Well, any kind of pants. I wear a lot of long skirts, since I'm shaped like a... a... a something with a disproportionately large bottom half ;) Except I did try on some JLo brand jeans at Kohls last month and they are UHmazing. Probably because JLo also has a big ol you-know-what!
I heard there's a Levi outlet near here that does custom jeans, someday I'm going to give it a try.
