Ode to my favorite jeans
Last Friday while cleaning the bath tub, the knee of my favorite, favorite, favorite, pair of jeans split. I’m not terribly surprised as I’ve been wearing them non-stop for probably four years. I bought them at Delias and though I’ve tried on multiple sizes and pairs in the exact same jean, I cannot manage to find one that fits as well. So I did the only thing possible to salvage them…attacked them with scissors.
Voila! Love Slayer sneakin’ in my picture :)
This is one of my favorite outfits. The tee from Lira is just the right length and is so soft. And the hoodie, though I managed to throw it in the dryer and fry the fur that lined the hood, is super comfy. (The fried fur has since been removed)
I’m also rocking purple eye shadow to match my purple nails.
This week has been really relaxing. I’ve only gone out once and spent the rest of my nights in bed with the above cuteface, reading Half Broke Horses (almost done!), watching bad TV (looove Real Housewives of Orange County), and stretching so I can do more circus tricks!
Other things making me very happy… DT dance party + being one of two people on the dance floor and sweating it out through a 10 min version of “Imma Be” + hanging out with Dunner who I haven’t seen in a loooong time + finding really good peanut butter that’s a tiny bit crunchy and organic and delicious + phone calls from Australia & pretending B is in the future + circus class war wounds – I’ve got some heinous bruises on the backs of my knees + being all adult and shoveling my sidewalk right after it snowed instead of waiting a week and hoping it just melts + peanut butter pancakes for dinner + talking to my mom on the phone + calling dad to wish him a happy bday + making a plan to not have plans + leg warmers + purple nails + waking up to the descendents + Slayer jumping in my bed every morning at 8am and putting his little head next to mine on the pillow + cable knit thigh high socks + cheesy tv that makes me cry + ordering lots of used books + light bulb moments + budgeting (yep, really) + cutting my internet cable bill in half +

My absolute favorite pair of jeans is slowly dying on me. Holes are everywhere! But like you, I’ve gone to the same store – AE – and tried on multiple pairs, but none fit quite as well. I’ll keep ‘em ’til it’s certain I can’t anymore.
the jeans look awesome. i hate when even though they are the same brand/style they just don’t fit the same. loving the purple eyeshadow and nail polish. slayer can’t get any cuter, i’m pretty sure that’s a fact :)
I hate when that happens to your favorite clothes! It sucks! But I think you salvaged them pretty well. Plus, I love the blue color of that wall! Its awesome!
Good idea! My fave jeans got a slice through them on a desk drawer – this would be a good way to save them!
I love Imma Be. Its my jaaaaaaaaam. And you’re adorable the end.
I just had to part with my favorite pair of sweatpants after I couldn’t justify the holes and a great pair of jeans. It was just time to put those both to rest.
