Red Dress

I do not own many red clothes so when I came across this red dress with a white floral pattern in my size in my favourite charity shop last week, I just had to buy it. It cost me £4.50. It has a white belt feature which enhances my waist and is knee length - the length I always prefer.

It will make a change from my usual blue/turquoise outfits and will look good with a cream cardigan for cooler evenings.

Regular readers of my blog will know that I don't like jeans. I am probably the only woman in her late 30s who does not own and has never owned a pair of jeans. My daughter, Hannah, has recently been persuading me to start wearing jeans - and I have to admit a pair might be useful to wear around the garden - but I have something of an aversion to denim.

A few days ago, Hannah spotted a new pair in a charity shop and nagged me until I tried them on. She had her camera with her (I didn't know at the time) and took my picture in the changing cubicle.
They just didn't feel right on me somehow - too tight around my bottom which looks rather large in this picture - and restrictive. I decided not to buy them - Hannah was disappointed - but they were not comfortable.

Is there anyone else who shares my views on jeans or am I alone on this one?

    First rule of shopping: if you don't feel comfortable in something, don't buy it!

    Jeans come in all different styles and there's one for everyone. Hope you can have some fun finding yours. I love wearing all of mine and have about 20 pairs! Jacqui

    Jeans are hard!! My favorite pair (that fit like a glove) are AG jeans. They're actually on sale right now for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. They are SO comfy and fit well.

    I love jeans but wouldn't wear a pair that don't fit properly no matter how cheap

    This red dress is stunning. The white print makes it playful and not so right into the face. Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style.

    Love the print on your red dress! Very pretty on you. Jeans are not my favorite either!

    I am obsessing with red at the moment and that dress is absolutely gorgeous! Jeans aren't the easiest piece to buy, specially if they don't feel completely comfortable. I need me jeans to feel soft and aren't too tight, I always had great luck with jeggings, give those a try maybe it will work for you.
