Here’s the skinny on making a fashion statement

I think I made a huge mistake.

Not long ago, I found myself in a department store shopping for jeans. I usually only have two pairs of wearable jeans at any given time. I wear them for years,they fall apart, I buy new ones.

So anyway, I was on my “once every four years” jeans buying trip and I found my two pairs of normal, boring Levis “relaxed fit” jeans, which is basically a nice way of saying “for guys over 35 whose  metabolism isn’t what it used to be.” But that would be difficult to stitch on a pair of jeans, so they went with “relaxed fit.” I’m walking to the dressing room when I pass a display rack of “skinny” jeans. The models in the pictures are all hip and cool, striking defiant poses full of vigorous abandon.

At least you can fit into skinny jeans - I wouldn't even dare try!
For the moment, my girls still tell me I'm beautiful and look fabulous in whatever I wear (poor, deluded kids), but I know it'll change so I'm basking in it for now!
