Favorite Jeans

I think this topic can easily be considered unisex - do you have a favorite pair of jeans?  More than one?  Really?  You are a lucky duck then. 
I have a blue pair, a black pair, a used-to-be black pair, a tan pair and a brown pair that I can still wear even though they're speckled with bleach but if it's dark out - I'm good.
If you have a favorite pair, it doesn't necessarily mean that's the pair you look your best in.  It means (at least for me) that's the pair I feel the most comfortable in. 
Mine are the ones that used to be black and are now - well, I'm not sure what color you'd call them now.  Gray?  Yeah, gray.  They feel like an old slipper.
They don't strangle my waist, the zipper is long enough, they are ABOVE my belly button.  That part is crucial.  Below the bell button is fine if you're 17 years old, 6 feet tall and weigh 112 pounds.  Truly, those are the only people (men and women) who should be wearing those jeans.  I don't mean to sound like the fashion police but, come on, you know I'm right.
My comfy jeans are at the end of their life.  I need a new pair.  I hate to shop for jeans.  The struggle, the sweat, the swearing that goes on in those dressing rooms - it's sad.
I need to throw those poor, old, comfortable jeans away.
But not today.

  1. Keep ' em Ellen. Like old friends, when you meet up again after even a very long time, you will just get right back into the swing. Whatever you and those jeans have had going, keeps on keepiin on. We woke up to Morning Edition on NPR today with Ringo Star singing "Boogaloo"! Talk about an old comfy pair of jeans.

  2. I use to have a couple of pairs of those comfy jeans. Then they outgrew me and my kids harrassed me that they looked more like MC Hammer Pants! The bummer of loosing weight! I remember in my younger days when those comfy jeans got wore out and see through in the knees we would just make cut-offs and wear them for a couple more years! Any chance of that happening again? Oh, yeah they wear them with the big old holes in the knees with threads holding them together! Such style!!!

  3. So, I guess you are not going to go on QVC and order a pair of pajama jeans? I say keep the jeans. Old friends, not toss-worthy.

  4. I just read about pajama jeans today and have no clue what they look like. Guess I'll have to check 'em out.
    Maybe not on a full stomach?

  6. I always wear my jeans until they have holes in unmentionable places. Wear them while you can.

  10. I tried to delete my first post. Hmph. It looks like my typo'ed last name is now posted for eternity. Worse yet, my typo'ed last name has been memorized by my browser's auto-complete.
