1985

I swore I never would again but today I gave in. Actually, my downfall began almost 2 months ago. They were there in the store calling my name and it seemed like such a good deal. Besides everywhere I looked everyone else was doing it. And it seemed like they were all enjoying them. I felt so out of place, so old. So why shouldn't I give in? Try it out. I mean is it really going to hurt me? So I succumbed and bought them but then hid them away in the closet when I got home hoping that maybe they would just go away and I would never have to deal with them. Then today came. I was in the mood for something crazy, something different from the norm and that's when it happened. I decided today would be the day when I would travel back to 1980 something. I searched through my closet to find the stashed away bag, found it and pulled out . . .







































. . .the skinny jeans.


It wasn't too bad. I'm not ready for these to be an everyday thing but the change was just what I needed.

At least you didn’t have to peg the bottoms. And they are way cuter than anything back in the 80’s. And you look great in them.

wow, those are skinny. I cant believe it took you like a month to get the guts. Congratulations though. I think you earn the best looking mom of 4 kids in skinnies. I don't think I would look that good.
