Skinny Jeans

My regular readers were shocked to learn that I acquired my first ever pair of jeans at Christmas. I had constantly resisted becoming a jeans wearer as I was not keen on the image and when I had tried on a pair I found the denim heavy and uncomfortable.

My teenage daughter kept persuading me to try a pair and after spending hours in changing rooms, eventually found a pair described as straight leg relaxed fit which did actually fit and were surprisingly comfortable.

I have been wearing them regularly at weekends and during my current sick leave from work and love them - something I would never thought I would hear myself saying!

Anyway, I decided I ought to look for a second pair and took a look around my local charity shops. I avoided all distressed jeans as I definitely do not like that image - and even my daughter agrees with me but found some skinny jeans in my size.

I did not know whether I would like the tightness of the denim but, perhaps as they were secondhand and had been washed a few times, the initial stiffness had gone and were quite stretchy and comfortable. My husband cheekily admired the "rear view" but I usually wear a long top or tunic when wearing jeans/trousers in public to increase modesty.

The jeans cost me £5.50 and are Levis. What do you think?
