I hate not being able to find jeans that fit. I'm on a mission to sew an entire wardrobe of clothes that fit me properly, made from fabric I like in a style that makes me feel good.

You know why? Europe is frakkin' cold and you need great big boots that you can tuck your jeans into. Now I can't go back. Skinny jeans are weird - they are simultaneously unflattering around the abdomen and ass, and flattering around the legs. You look munted and fat in the middle but leggy at the same time. It's a paradox. And now, after an equally long boycott, I again heard the cracking noise and ended up buying... *leggings* last weekend, because it just got too hard wearing the really short dresses of the summer that have been designed to be worn with leggings, without leggings, when you realise how old you are and that you look stupid in that really short dress after all.The Bewildering Case of Ms Enid Tak-Entityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567000425894218950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-22082772663302923222008-08-15T20:43:00.000+12:002008-08-15T20:43:00.000+12:00A few weeks ago I finally got sick of pulling my p...A few weeks ago I finally got sick of pulling my panst up in front of company, and decided I was going to part with 100 on a pair of jeans that fit. I went into 2 jeans stores on Queen St (well known brands) and in one store I was determined to try on every pair until I found a pair that fit. One store had no high-waisted at all- my test is- if I bend over and my undies surface, it's all over. No jeans passed the test and the worst thing was the snotty 16 year old store clerk who looked at me like I was pathetic (and fat). I promptly walked into Farmers and bought 2 pairs that fit just fine for less than a hundred bucks. I'm25 and just don't know when jeans stopped fitting- I say we start a campaign to boycott the jean stores.

Don't feel bad Anna, you're in good company. :) It took me ages to figure out that whole fashion thing, (despite it being even simpler in some ways for men) and frankly, I still can't be bothered most of the time.

I read someone somewhere out there in the ether who commented that their hipster briefs were still clearly visible beneath their high-rise jeans. That's confusion I can identify with.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977150346842277994noreply@blogger.com
