I. Love. Jeans.

I love jeans. Have some fun and look up the origin of the dungaree workpants that have become Levi Strauss jeans, it's a nice story.

Jeans are great. They are comfortable, they look good, they wear well, they're durable. I love jeans. Girls look good in jeans. Real good. Hell, everybody can look good in jeans, even fat people. And any outfit based on jeans is a winner. The grunge look: ratty jeans, ratty t-shirt, ratty flannel, ratty sneakers, ratty hair. The casual business look: straight stone-washed jeans, untucked button-down shirt, loose tie, matching socks, square-toed shoes. The skater look: loose jeans, t-shirt, hooded sweatshirt, skate shoes, desperately needs a haircut. The punk look: tight tight tight black jeans, studded belt, studded bracelet(s), collar, bookbag, dyed-black, pink, blue hair, msifits t-shirt, black fingernails, black converse all-stars. On and on and on.

I love jeans. I'm wearing some right now.
I'm also wearing my blue hooded sweatshirt, but that's a post for another day.

Wow, do you not work at all?

Jeans are ok. But not everyone looks good in jeans, especially if they are either A) tapered, B) pleated, or C) both (shudder).

I prefer sweatpants. Cute sweatpants, without elastics on the ankles.

Well, thanks for giving me an excuse to talk about sweatpants.

first, I have never, ever, ever heard of pleated jeans
second, tapered can work if you're the female lead in an 80's movie, where, naturally, you have to offset the tapering jeans with extra big hair
and sweatpants are cool. and def. comfortable. kudos

did you post anonymously so we wouldn't know who you are that you own pleated jeans?

that's probably the smart move.
