What idiot brought skinny jeans back in fashion? Men, you likely have no idea what I'm referring to. I don't mean jeans for skinny women. I mean skinny-legged jeans for all sized women. Since I am forced to marathon shop when I accompany my husband, I ran into a store the other day (the likes of which would make most women cringe...but not me, I don't care where I shop). I picked up a few pairs of maternity jeans, made a mad dash to the dressing rooms, and slipped those puppies on.
As I observed myself in the 3/4 length clown mirror, I realized that these jeans had enough room for my fat ass to grow considerably. I bought 'em. Imagine my shock and disbelief when I tried them on at home (after a good washing, of course) and realized they were, indeed, skinny jeans.
I've sworn for years I'd never wear those things again. I prefer the bell-bottomed hippy jeans instead. Heck, Oprah even warned of the disastrous results of wearing skinny jeans, just a few years ago. Let me just say that M.C. Hammer and I had one very disturbing thing in common. I was wearing parachute pants. And I don't have a choice. I'm too poor to buy new ones.
Now, I don't know about being dope on the floor and magic on the mic, but I can say that the similarity between M.C. Hammer's wardrobe attire and my choice of maternity pants is uncanny.

I don't care how "skinny" someone is, those jeans make you look bad. :) I ordered some new jeans (my on line shopping obsession) and when I got them darn things they were skinny. And I mean the legs were skinny, skinny. I couldnt even get them up my quad area. It was awful!!!!! I cannot imagine them making skinny leg maternity pants. That is just insane.
ReplyDeleteIt's not bad enough that you have to wear maternity pants, but skinny ones? What are they thinking? :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a fine unflattering line between skinny jeans & leggings. No thanks.
ReplyDeleteGood luck :D
OMG! I hate them too!!! I only bought some to wear with some boots. It's like they accentuate the size of my bum.
