“Honey, does my butt look big in these jeans?”
“Big? No, of course not. Saggy? Well, maybe just a little bit”.
Has this ever happened to you? Well, it happened to me last Saturday. We were going out for dinner and I needed a little reassurance about my outfit so I posed the ever annoying “Does my butt (or thighs, boobs, whatever) look big/small/lumpy in these jeans (or dress, top, bikini, etc)?” question to my significant other. I know guys strongly dislike that question but sometimes you just have to throw it out there. My man has not ever really been one to sugarcoat things, but I have to admit that I was a little taken aback when he told me that I had a mild case of droopy drawers in what were my favorite jeans.
The sad part is that I think he was right. Deep down I knew my everyday “go-to” jeans had lost their luster but I was in serious denial. After all, what can I possibly do about it? I can’t go out and by a properly fitted fabulous new pair, so I am stuck with what lies within the four walls of my closet.
But, if I could buy just one pair right now it would be these (pictured above) Skyline Skinnys by Paige in Gypsy. They are a perfectly distressed medium wash with a skinny leg and stretch through the hips and thighs. I want to strut down the street sporting these designer denims and I want my man to say, “Damn, girl, you look good.” Sigh. A girl can dream, right?
Love, A

Girls, you are so cute that I was sold on the FB site and the blog the second I saw both. Is your goal to shop vicariously through the rest of us -- because now I WANT those jeans. And, I am wondering if you can borrow clothes from your friends/family during this fashion rehab. Those aren't gifts, so I think you might have some wiggle room...
We can indeed borrow from friends and family! I guess the question is does anyone own those Paige jeans in my size (uh, twenty-something) and do they want to share? We are kind of shopping vicariously through others BUT also want to become really conscientious about wearing what we already own and want to try and curb potential senseless spending in the future...
