Just me?
I ran my old jeans into the ground. Really, those things should have been torched long ago. I think a couple of pairs are still lingering from high school. Now in my defense, I don't crack those old flares out (I know) unless I'm working around the house or running crazy errands in the rain. They were the go-to's for all of the non-fun things I had to do and I didn't want to put on my good jeans. They also *may or may not* have sparkles on the butt pockets. (I'll never tell!)
I have been on the hunt for a nice pair of distressed skinny jeans. I don't like the overly crazy distressed jeans with rips everywhere, but some texture on them is what I want right now. I got lucky and found a lovely pair from H&M that fit every single one of my strict criteria. Behold:
I love these jeans. They are perfect for dressing up or down, have the perfect amount of stretch and give and they have just the right amount of distressing. Luckily, I didn't have to try on too many different pairs at H&M before I found these. I am thinking of buying a second pair!
Now, about the flares. I know this trend is coming back, but I don't want the full on flare, ya know? I think I found a compromise with these American Eagle Kick Boot jeans.
They're nice, but they're a little too long for me. The 'short' style was too short and the 'regular' style is too long. Such is my life. Good thing there is an alteration shop in my town that I can get them hemmed for relatively cheap. They're a good mid-weight jean with a really nice feel. I didn't have to squeeze into them and they still have really nice curve and hug to them. I have only had the opportunity to wear them a couple of times, so I am still deciding if they will become my new favorites or not. Still, at least I found a few pairs!
So, where do you shop for jeans? Do you have any go-to brands?
