On the Way to My Skinny Jeans

...cross posted from our sister site, DC Metro Moms Blog.

I recently celebrated a milestone...I tossed a pair of perfectly good jeans into the donate pile. This is unusual for me because I keep jeans forever and in fact am inclined to grant sacred status to a good, well-fitting pair of jeans. Even when the material is worn thin and has a few holes in it, I can still wear them while working around the yard or cleaning house, so they stay in my closet. I have about 10 pair in various sizes, cuts, brands, and shades, but only half of them are pre-baby jeans. I don't know if that's a lot of jeans, but it feels like a lot to me, and I'm trying to whittle it down.

You see, the pair I tossed was slightly too big, and that morning I had moved down into the next pair between me and my skinny jeans. I walked confidently into the kitchen and started making breakfast hoping a certain someone would notice my new (old) look. Hubs noticed immediately and showered all sorts of praise about how good I looked, and I enjoyed every minute of it!

When I say "skinny jeans" I'm not talking about the ultra skinny low-rise type that seem to be very popular now, I'm simply referring to my favorite jeans from my skinnier days.
