Skinny jeans are awful. For everyone involved. The women trying to squeeze themselves in and those of us poor suckers who have to look at the ending result.

Honestly, I don’t think even Heidi Klum can pull them off. If a Victoria’s Secret model can’t do it, then we really can’t expect much of anyone else to either. They make your hip, ass and feet look enormous.

Where are the flare style jeans? I’ve searched online everywhere and no dice. The closest I’ve found is Gap has a ‘Curvy Girl’ style. Uh… I’ll reserve judgment until I try on a pair. Gap used to be my Mecca for jeans too. Because you could order by inseam and on average jeans it is always a little bit too short for me. Some of my favorite jeans were from them!

This is so very aggravating since I can no longer fit into my pre-Cody jeans. I have a big stack of gorgeous pants that are going to be headed to Goodwill. Maybe I’m odd, but when I find a good pair of pants, there is a sort of connection made. Like, hello love, let’s hang out today because we look fabulous together. With the right style pant, you can rock anything.

For me, that means flare style dark wash jeans. I wear them until they fall apart so they have to start out dark to begin with. I don’t like the look of light jeans. And acid wash, is that really making a comeback? Please, no.

I’ll settle for bootcut for now. But I’ll be so glad when this obsession with leggings and skinny jeans is over. Ladies, they are doing you no favors.
