The Skinny on Skinny Jeans

By in daily grind, Griping

I have to admit, when I heard that skinny jeans were in I laughed. Then I tried a pair on and I cried. This was 3 years ago when I was still living in Windsor and feeling terribly sorry for myself. And I was about 17 pounds heavier than I am now. Naturally, a couple months ago, I broke down and  bought myself a pair of kitson jeans (no, not the ones designed by Posh)  for $5 at Winner’s (size 10, 2 sizes smaller than I was a year ago). Yay me.

Here’s the problem I have with skinny jeans: they fit strangely. They are loose around the top part, I’d say waist band but it’s considerably lower than that, perhaps pube line? I can’t even put a belt on because then I get that adorable muffin top. And I happen to hang out with a 4 year old who thinks it’s hilarious to pull the back of my jeans down and tickle the top of my butt crack. While screaming with laughter. The bottom part of the jeans are incredibly tight, like, cutting off the circulation to my feet tight. I admit I have big calves from years of gymnastics and track team, but this is borderline ridiculous. I almost can’t even pull them up high enough to cover my Chuck Taylor’s.

Good think leg warmers are back in. Another thing I swore I would not buy, but did.

Oh, and fyi, I would love any shirt from this store. Or jewelry.  And could someone tell me why those motherfuckers Macy’s don’t ship to Canadia?

    Was you stumbling or was you told by Ali? And you’ve been stalking me for years, everyone knows it’s true.

    I think we have both now scientifically proven that Windsor makes you fat and miserable, and once you move away from it’s core, you instantly become happy and lose all the weight you gained there.

    Oh, and BTW I am not joining the skinny-jean club. I really just can’t see them being very flattering on me at all.

  6. Caitlin Jane says:

    Mmm, fair enough. The mainly reason I have a pair is because of them costing only $5. I wasn’t looking for skinny jeans that day, not at all, trust me, I have LOTS of jeans to wear for the next 10 years. They work good tucked into rubber boots, which I am wearing today. Which I tried to take pictures of but ended up looking ridiculous.

    I would rock the skinny hip-hugger jeans if i could just find the right mesh tanktop to go with them. FAAAAABULOUS!

    Okay, I am totally picturing you (Chris) wearing those; a la Buffalo Bill “Would you fuck me? I’d fuck me” in front of the mirror.

    And Caitlin, good call on the tucking-into-boots. That might be the one reason I’d invest in them.
