obvious, but I had a bit of a fashion breakthrough yesterday. I went shopping for a white tshirt for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, to properly exploit front row seats in the splatter zone. While there, I tried on eight pairs of jeans in sizes 6 & 8. None of them fit. I don’t know what kind of curves curvy jeans are designed to fit, but it’s not small waist, hips and booty curves, as far as I can tell. I ended up either unable to pull them over my hips or with a huge gap between waist and waistband.

Then I tried on a pair of stretch cords and they were fantastic. Seriously, I nearly proposed to my own ass, it looked so good. I bought and wore them and I must say that the response from others was quite flattering. It made me realize that I’ve assumed I need to have at least two pairs of jeans at any time and jeans may not be what works for me. Well, duh. I have one pair that really fits and a few pair that nearly fit.

Getting out of jeans mode requires other pants that work for me. Or skirts. For every new pice of clothing I bring in, I usually get rid of something. In this case, I got rid of two pairs of pants that don’t fit.
