Skinny-er Jeans

So I still don't, and never will, wear jeggings or skinny jeans (one reason being my feet are too big to fit through the cuff -- and second because anyone over 90 lbs or 21 years of age shouldn't be caught dead in skin tight pants) but I have at least a dozen pairs of skinny-er jeans packed away in the garage for that 'amazing day' when I can fit back into my 2005-2008 circa pants, and I'm hoping that day isn't too far away.

There are two tiers of skinny-er jeans at casa Palmchalski.  The jeans on the shelf in my closet are those I have worn in the past year or two that just got too darn tight, but aren't too far from the impossible.  The jeans packed away in the garage are just way beyond possible and I wonder how I even used to get into them.  I never ever thought of myself as a thin person in my younger days and have always felt like a giant in comparison to most of my friends, but now that I can't even pull those way impossible jeans over my chubby knees and butt, I realize I was a lot thinner than I previously thought. 

These way impossible jeans may be a little outdated, but I will never let them go.  They were my faves and cost this hard working college girl some hard cash, so I will keep them forever despite many of them having a flare and a super super super low rise.  And one more thing about these way impossible jeans:  I used to make fun of my mom for wearing high rise jeans bc they are hard to breathe in, the fly buckles when you sit down, and they go all the way up to your belly button, but I've realized that as I've gotten older, the rise of my pants gets higher and higher and higher and when I do try on low rise pants, I'm shocked at how I could wear them and be comfortable, without showing my butt crack.  Anyways, back to the point, I've been very diligent the past 3 or 4 weeks and I can now fit comfortably in my closet jeans and hope to be in my far from impossible jeans in another 3 or 4 weeks. 

It's like a bass-ackwards savings plan. Best idea ever.  Like shopping in your own closet.  You 'grow' out of 12 pair of jeans, and then shrink back down 5 years later, and then have a plethora of new / old clothes to wear.

in my dreams

After I reach the point where I can fit into my way impossible jeans, then I will tackle the ever elusive bathing suit monster.
