OK, everyone has one or two features about themselves they like. In my case, it's my legs. They're chicken legs, granted, long and skinny, but I like 'em. And I've come to realize that most pants, especially boot cuts and flares, make me look downright silly. They end up looking like those wide, old-lady palazzo pants that belong with a big old flowered polyester blouse. So I try to stick with straight-leg pants, preferably with a regular- or medium-rise waist.
A few years ago, when searching for new jeans, I settled on Gap Classics, 'cause they were stick-straight, and with just enough lycra to stay stick-straight. I bought them on and off for a few years, only for them to mysteriously disappear one day. Poof! Gone! No more fun jeans for me!
I then found and settled on Levi's 512's, which were essentially the same style, but the denim was heavier and sturdier (yay!). I ran through them in a couple of years, though, and couldn't find replacements 'cause, yeah, they also went poof. Levi's no longer seemed to put them into stores. Any stores. Even online. I did mange to find a few pairs in an outlet late last year and snarfed the only ones I could find in my size, but as a result I'm now always "on the hunt" for similar styles.
Well today after a "coffee date," which I'm starting to love, I took a hike to the nearby Gap and GUESS WHAT? They've brought back my beloved Classic Jeans! Mid-rise, very straight, and with a slight flair (hmm?). The price is up there ($50), but I'm so excited at the mere prospect of them being back that I might pick up a few just in case they go away again. Beautiful dark blue and a medium-rinse lighter blue. Just my style, just for me. Yayayay!!!
Ya know, you can never underestimate the value of a good pair of jeans. Especially fun ones!!!
