Last weekend, I embarked on a quest.
A quest to find the perfect colored denim.
You know the kind: not too light, bright, or tight.
My quest technically started two weekends ago, when I naively assumed my derriere would fit into the same sized colored version of my favorite true blue skinnies at Target.
It did not pan out.
I even went back for a bigger size, rationalizing that it doesn't count since it's the juniors department.
Double fail.
I realized that I needed to move on to greener pastures.
Enter Forever 21 with their acid wash-y denim, weird brass zippers, and capri length pants.
Obviously, it didn't work out.
So long, Forever 21. Hello, PacSun.
...Goodbye, PacSun. Why are your jeans so tight? Way to turn my normal body into a freakshow of epic proportions (pun fully intended).
At this point, my best friend and I had grown weary. We had almost written colored skinnies off to "don't-work-for-real-people-with-more-than-4%-body-fat" land. We're an optimistic pair though, so we headed to one last locale.
Oh, American Eagle.
I know I shunned you as too expensive in high school. I was young; I was stupid.
Thank you for delivering these to me. I will never take them off. Not even to wash them.
Free shipping through tonight.

yay, a happy ending!
ReplyDeleteHappy endings in shopping are the best kind, I think. :)
DeleteCute! I'm going to need a post of you wearing them too.
ReplyDeleteP.S. LOVE that video about smug pregnant women, thank you. :)
I've got an outfit post coming up! I'm glad you liked the video. That song gets stuck in my head ALL.THE.TIME, even though I don't know any pregnant women except you & Hilary Duff, and neither of you are smug! (Do you love how I talk about Hilary Duff like she's my bestie/I know her at all?)
