It was bound to happen. After all my tirades and opinions, eventually I was bound to eat crow eventually. No, I haven't read "The Secret," no, I don't dig Sarah Palin now, no, I'm not an atheist. I bought (gasp) skinny jeans. (Double Gasp.) The salesgirl at my favorite little store in town talked me into them. I scared she was being a big liar when she told me they looked good, but it's too late. I had three Christmas parties yesterday and I wore them to every single one. I fancied them up more than this picture:
Could this be the manifestation of my worst fear?(A large derriere. Although carnies, falling, and being late are still right up there.)
As is so frequently the case when engaging in a fashion experiment, as I walked into Bruce's work party I noticed in front of me a woman ALSO wearing skinny jeans, only she was 4 inches up on me and 15 pounds down. Where are the fashion flubs when you need one to prop up your fragile self-esteem? My prayers for a roomful of mom-jeans and Christmas sweaters went largely unheeded.
Well, it's not like they'd make these in my size if they weren't going to look good on me, right? I mean when was the last time you saw a tube top or shorty shorts or a Speedo in a triple-XL?
Hmmmmm. I may have detected a flaw in my logic.

According to the picture you posted, it appears that you can totally you can pull off skinny jeans. Me, on the other hand, it'd be a serious faux pas. Pull out your favorite knee high boots and walk around like you own the place.
p.s. I love that my comment includes a typo--classic.
I think you look great! It's just whether you can get them off once their off. I just remember the Friends episode when Ross put on leather pants. It was hilarious! Have a wonderful Christmas...Love to you. Auntie R
What's the problems? You look fabulous!
Ummm. What are "Skinny Jeans?" The ones that hug your legs and taper at the bottom? Sorry, hard to tell in this pic, and with my head buried in CS books, the only time I see a fashion mag is the cover as I race through the check-out line. As in http://www.skinnyjeans.com/ ?
