Jeans!!!


I hope that you are all sitting down - Rebecca is wearing a pair of jeans!! Regular readers of my blog will know that I have never been a great lover of denim nor the image of jeans. I have tried on a few pairs in charity shops but none fitted properly or were too tight and uncomfortable.

My teenage daughter, Hannah, regularly wears jeans at weekends and when out with her friends. She has been trying to persuade me to buy some jeans for a long time. I resisted of course but not to be outdone Hannah said that she would buy me a pair for Christmas!

We went shopping on two consecutive Saturdays, visiting numerous High Street clothes shops and getting very frustrated in changing rooms. I must have a strange waist, hip, leg length ratio and I know that my thighs are large - so skinny jeans were ruled out as being too uncomfortable.

Success came last Saturday in Debenhams. I found these straight leg, comfort fit jeans and was astonished to find that they overcame all my body imperfections and fitted me rather well. They were made in Bangladesh and have a Style label (which Hannah had not heard of). Anyway Hannah thought I looked good in them and bought them before I could change my mind.

Anyway, my husband, Andrew, who tends not to pass many comments on my outfits, said "Wow" when I put them on at home and I was really surprised at how comfortable they actually are. They are a softer than a lot of denim jeans.
I wore them outside for the first time today and as it is really mild here in the UK at the moment, Hannah was able to take a rear view photo in the garden. I am no longer so self conscious of people seeing my bottom in trousers. 

Anyway - to start the year of 2019 - you have a post of Rebecca wearing her first ever pair of jeans at the age of 38!

  5. To find perfect jeans is not easy. At least for me, as I'm curvy. Yours fit perfectly.

    1. I tried on a lot before I found these but had trouble with my rather large thighs and getting my bottom to look reasonable!

  6. Hi, I have a similar issue with jeans.....when I do eventually find a pair I usually get another pair for reserve !!! can I ask which label they are from Debenhams ? I got some John Roca ( think that how you spell it !) and they were lovely and soft

  9. It's never YOU, it's always the clothes! I also have a really hard time finding any pants that fit me - you have to try on SO MANY just to find a pair! Unlike skirts, which are just so much easier.

    I don't wear jeans that often, but I have a couple of pairs for wearing once in a while. They feel weird to me.

    These are simply spectacular on you, Rebecca! Wow, indeed!
