i was going to come up with some great lame-ass excuse as to why my blogging has been seriously inconsistent of late…but i was too busy looking at my brand-new Kenzie boots…
all kidding aside, this past couple of weeks have been like a whirlwind for me. when we are in Atlanta, it’s as if we are in some sort of time warp. i seriously never know what time it is, or even what day it is. some days it will be 3pm before we are all out of pajamas. then we’ll have lunch at 4…dinner at 9…and then when my pregnant (and super food-cravy) sister-in-law sees the movie "mystic pizza" on the tv menu, we order pizzas at midnight. the truth is, for a control freak like me, it’s probably the best kind of therapy.
you take away my watch and i start getting all jittery. my pupils dilate and i begin foaming at the mouth. must. have. control. sheesh…that was a long-winded way of saying that next week we’ll be all back to good once again. and you’ll have your thrice-weekly dish of the ever-so-fabulous (and occasionally not-so-fabulous) me.
today, i have a wee confession to make.
A while back I vented and raged and snarked up a storm about how i would NEVER wear skinny jeans. skinny jeans are (surprise, surprise!) for skinny people. not for people who are built with pulkas (yiddish for chicken leg. think: skinny around the ankle, pudgy around the thigh).
but, over the holidays i saw lots of girls in skinnies. (i also saw many, many girls wearing VERY inappropriate clothing for their bodies. girls with big tummies shouldn’t wear belly shirts. girls with giant boobs should wear bras…but that’s a whole other post). Including my sister…who, god bless her, was genetically blessed with the same skinny calves and chubby thighs as i was. (thanks, mom, much appreciated. you couldn’t have given me the blue eyes and blonde hair, eh?). she was sporting the skinny tucked into the tall boot look. which i thought i’d hate on her, but i didn’t! her thighs looked awesome. and thin! the thinnest i’ve seen them. something in the bulk of the boot offset that inverse triangle look (thanks for that, Jen, i’m still using that line!).
skinnies in boots are the new flare, it seems. and while i’m not rushing out to buy myself a pair…i’m finding myself eyeing them when i walk into stores. the fad just might be growing on me a little. but, somebody shoot me if i want to buy a wide belt…please.
Skinny jeans would make me FEEL fat, though — so tight and all. Not worth it. I bought a pair of army pants a size too big, and I’m loving pulling them up all the time. I like wearing them with a tight shirt. It’s my new thing….Not exactly celeb hip, but it’s me.
Oh, and you’re always FABULOUS!
I never wear a watch…. But, I do carry a cell phone with the time on it should I feel the urge to check it….
Yeah, I’m totally buying a pair of skinny jeans to wear with boots – I decided a couple months back – but that is the ONLY way I will wear skinny jeans.
I have to say I agree, Ali. The skinny jeans with shoes are only for the skinny but with the boots it evens things out and they don’t look half bad. Go for it, girl!
As for the belt…if this is confession time I have to admit that I don’t think this looks too bad either…don’t call the fashion police but if you have the bod for it…
