in on the skinny

so lately i’ve been considering buying some skinny jeans…

let me preface this post by saying, i’m not a big girl. i am, however, bigger than i was in 198? when i first donned this fashion necessity. i do not think pants should “stick” to one’s behind. anyones. this is why i don’t wear leggings and why it takes me several attempts to buy a track suit.

BUT (no pun intended) lately while flipping through my fashion advisories, i’ve noticed that skinny jeans are making a come back. and i do have a few outfit ideas that would be exceptionally trendy if i had a pair of these. now i, like most, have had this conversation more than once- recently, “i will not do that again, some history should just not be repeated.”

maybe i’m wrong. maybe i should try it again. maybe it will work out in my favor and i will be the next America’s Top Model for Pointe North Community Church…

so i head down to the local wal-mart, ’cause you know they have everything i could possibly need to make my shopping experience enjoyable… grab a pair of skinny minis, in my size, and head to the dressing room.

first ladies, if you are size conscious, do not try this. ’cause you will be required to go up at least one size, quite possibly two. i was not well informed and in turn was not well equipped to deal with the outcome.

secondly, be aware that there are people outside of the dressing room that can hear everything you say inside the dressing room. so after struggling to get the, not my size, on- i look in the mirror and out loud i say “oh lawd no!” then follow it up with insane laughter, while i’m again struggling, this time to get them off. when i opened the dressing room door, the attendant’s face was as red as mine and she was avoiding eye contact! i went immediately to the check out for a dr. pepper (they were out of cherry coke).

oh well, i guess instead of bringing back the skinny jeans, i’ll have to relive history with my new knee length equestrian style velvet coat- in the color of mulberry, and the white lace bell sleeved shirt i bought to go with it.

purple rain, purple rain.
