It Must be Sunday, cause the Jean Gods, They Were A Workin' Today

Fall is here...despite the 83 degree day here in my neck of the woods. And jeans, they are plentiful on my local shopping scene.

A couple weeks ago, I read Big Mama's fashion week post on having a good jean pool, and I must say, the woman has done her research. I mean, she knows jeans and what she didn't know, she went right out to TJ Maxx and Target and researched. That, internets, is dedication.

For instance, did you know that Seven For All Mankind jeans, could occasionally be found at TJ Maxx? I did not.

No worries though, I stopped fitting into my Seven jeans, at least 2 kids ago. And I no longer work, which means I no longer have my own money to blow, and all these people in my house, they are kinda funny about eating on a regular basis, so I have not had the pleasure of replacing them. Sadly, the pair of Seven's sit in the back of my closet as a reminder of the glory days.


Which indeed, as The Boss sings, have now passed me by.


Yes, now the biggest dilemma I face in jean buying is that age old question...Merona or Mossimo?


And today, it was all about the Mossimo. Premium Mossimo, to be exact. I know people, PREMIUM. Who Knew?

Truly now, where has Target been all my life? When I was an awkward youth shopping at Fashionation and Deb, I could have used a little Merona, or perhaps some Mossimo.

Today, I found these.

And they are perfect. With a capital P-E-R-F-E-C-T.

They are dark, which I prefer. They are bootcut, but not outrageously flared. They hit below my belly button, but the back is high enough so I will not be all hanging out like Britney. They had my size, which makes everything so much easier. And they were under $30 bucks.

That's right...two words. Denim Perfection.

I think these will turn out to be my go-to pair this fall and winter. We'll wait and see, but it's looking good friends, looking good.

Did I mention how PERFECT they fit? Thank you, thank you Oh God of All Things That Are Denim. It could have gotten really ugly in that dressing room.

Tomorrow, I will head to Old Navy, for the simple reason that I will now be wearing jeans until, probably next MAY, and I do have problems keeping up with the laundry, you know.

So, a second and third pair are definitely in order.

I'll keep you posted, 'cause I know you'll be wondering.

I should seriously be a contributing editor to In Style magazine, or maybe an assistant to Stacy London. Just wait till you all see the shoes I found. Oh, THE SHOES, people. They are worthy of their own post.
