I have a dilemma.
I've hit a fashion crossroads. All my jeans have holes in them from wearing them too much. But here's the thing, I don't want to buy more to replace them.
I despise jeans. I loathe jeans. Just the thought of putting them on makes me queasy.
How did I come to this realization, you might ask? About a year ago, I've decided that I've really just been fighting my hatred all my life. I've always passed them off as a minor annoyance and just decided that it was something I had to put up with.
Here's a short list of why I don't like jeans:
1. They're uncomfortable. Come on, you know they are!
2. It's virtually impossible to find a pair that fights you perfectly without getting tailored.
3. They all start to look the same after awhile.
4. It's also next to impossible to go from a sitting position to a standing (and visa versa) without having to make some sort of adjustment. (am I the only one with this problem?)
5. They're expensive.
6. Finding a good pair is like finding a needle in a haystack. Hipsters. Boot cut. Low rise. High rise. Skinny. Baggy. Relaxed cut. How about a fits-my-body-instantly cut?
7. Yawn...they can make an outfit look blah.
8. Jeans aren't forgiving with shapes.
All my life I've resorted to jeans as my standard wear for my legs, but no more ladies! No more!
As I've wandered through various European street fashion blogs, many women aren't wearing jeans. Tights, leggings, jeggings, skirts, dresses--these women are my inspiration. They must be so comfortable in those things, and they look fabulous too!
So now I'm on the hunt for the perfect items to add to my wardrobe to replace my holy jeans. It's going to be quite the task, but oh man, it's going to be worth it.
Now, does anyone want to join me in a ceremonial burning of the jeans?

Funny thing is, those trousers look so uncomfortable to me.
I love jeans. But, I agree, it is hard to find a good pair. When you do? The moment is priceless.
I tend to wear a darker wash of jean just because they don't look like everyone else's and they are a bit more flattering for "hippy" people like me.
But, straight leg pin-stripe trousers? I wish I could wear them all of the time. Actually, I just wish I could own one pair! But, they tend to be quite expensive also. If you're looking for quality clothes, you have to pay the price. It's unfortunate.
hehe.
I do see your point there. for sure.
Would you like me to make you harem pants, or some really cute knickers? I've been thinking of making knickers lately.. I think I'd like to wear them.
I did just find myself the perfect pair of jeans at the thrift store though-- My only pair now.
Just wait until you add being pregnant, then not being pregnant, then being pregnant, then not being pregnant to the list of reasons why jeans don't work so great!
By the way, you still need to tell me what color of fabric you'd like for your fun top we were talking about way back when...
I'm going to New York, and I'm sure I could find something there...
Let me know!

Oh, Candice! I am so with you!! My biggest problem with jeans is the fact that, like you said, they are just so blah and boring. I've been experimenting a little myself. Adding more skirts and dresses and leggings. My next wishlist item is actually a pair of trousers like the girl's in your post. So Cute!! So basically, I couldn't agree with you more!!
