Some folks already know how my skinny jeans saga began.<\/p>\n

I had seen all sorts of women rocking these jeans, many more voluptuous than I, and looking good in them. And I thought, “me too! I can wear these jeans!” So I went in pursuit of a pair.<\/p>\n

Later, in a dressing room session Alex will surely recount to a therapist one day, I found a pair that I thought worked. I took the jeans to the counter. The cashier suggested that I go down a size, as these jeans (according to her) are known to stretch out. I took her advice despite the fact that she looked like her jeans size doesn’t even involve numbers<\/em>, which might make her uniquely unqualified to make any suggestions about the fitting needs of women who’s jeans size plainly<\/em> involves numbers.<\/p>\n

Shortly thereafter, I wore the jeans on a date, wondering what he would think of me if it turned out that I had to ask him to remove the jeans, not for recreational purposes, but in order to ensure proper circulation in my lower extremities. Fortunately, this did not come to pass.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t decide how I felt about jeans that were so skinny that they had a knack for getting lost in my closet among the less skinny clothing…until this week.<\/p>\n

I decided that the jeans could, indeed, be a part of my wardrobe. They would just have to function as tights. They will likely feel more at home in the tights drawer.<\/p>\n

Turns out they go great with dresses that function as shirts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
