The Skinny on Skinnies
Knowing I wouldnt wear them, I threw them on the top shelf of my closet. I figured I would lose weight and I would need new jeans in the future 
And I dont know about you but growing up I had some THUNDER THIGHS. seemed like everything i ate went to the thighs or stomach. twig legs, twig arms but beefy thighs. Hence a problem with my body + skinny jeans. So a goal of mine has been to lean out my thighs with lots of running and lots of squats.. which i have been consistently doing! even with these workouts, i was probably a few pounds away from being in the skinnies...
Fast forward to today, I was sick the last two days and so I didnt really eat much and just slept a lot. which created the perfect storm for my Easter Sunday fashion dilemma. Do I wear a suit, which I wear 5x a week, or jeans........
I wanted to wear a color-y shirt for easter and put on jeans I would normally wear... There was something wrong.. The jeans were too baggy. So i realized that my dust gathering pair of Good Society's was right on top so I slipped pulled them on and they fit! tight but fitting.
After my first experience with skinny jeans, I have a few thoughts, reflections, & point of views:
- the jeans were so tight i couldnt even put my keys, phone or wallet in the skinny jeans. This is probably why the murse (Man + Purse) came along. and guys should not have purses.
- every time i sat down, it felt like i was getting a wedgie... this is not cool. the pants would stretch down as i bent my knees but my briefs would not move....aka a wedgie. Also every time i stood up, i wanted to pull my jeans up with my hand, like the girls or guys i guess who show their butt crack but shouldnt be. you know who you are! and its disgusting! wear a belt yo!
- fashion wise, they are pretty sleek
- as i was taking the skinny jeans off, my body was thanking me.
so i have made a couple rules:
+ jeans should have enough looseness for phone, wallet, and keys
+ you should not have to pull your pants up after you stand.
my old mantra was no one should compromise the looseness of their jeans for the sake of fashion. im sorry P Judah, it's wrong.
after a full days work in some skinny jeans, I will go with a happy medium that says:
Jeans should be form fitting with enough looseness in them for your phone, wallet and keys; not having to worry about bending over or having to pull them up.
So will i wear them again?
Yes, on special occasions. but in the mean time i will have to get the happy medium of comfort and style.
