They’re a lower rise than I’m used to, and I only own two other pairs of jeans right now: a pair of dark rinse flares with the slimming tummy panel and a pair of dark rinse, stretchy boot legs. A teacher’s wardrobe doesn’t really call for jeans besides the few and far between – but much loved – casual Fridays. So these medium-rinsed, whiskered, embellished jeans were a bit out of my norm but also fun. Trying them on in the dressing room and browsing around the store wearing them to try them out, I thought they were passable and decided to take them home to try out over the weekend. Well, I wore them for the next three days. They’re super comfy with a bit of stretch, I can pair them with flats or any of my knee-high boots, and I have plenty of tunic-length tops to wear with them. I’m happy I finally gave in and tried them and that I ended up liking them. They certainly won’t replace my flares or bootcut jeans, but they give me another option for a different look.
I just bought my first pair of skinny jeans…yes, I’m incredibly late to the party. I worked at Lane Bryant when they started taking over the denim shelves a few years ago, but I never tried on a pair. I had this fear of what they would look like, that they’d be uncomfortable, that they weren’t for my body type, etc. Well, I was in shopping at LB and was drawn to a pair of Seven7 skinnies with cute, embellished pockets. I figured that the trend hasn’t died yet, so it won’t be dying out anytime too terribly soon, so I tried them on.

About LizI love teaching. I do. But since I started teaching four years ago, it's defined my entire life. What did I do before I became a teacher? I shopped, cooked, decorated, played dress-up, and went out on the town. And I'm reclaiming that past and all-too-infrequent-in-the-present life of mine! Good Reads* Anthromollogies
