I got my coated skinny jeans today, and they fit okay; as long as they don’t stretch out as I wear them, they’ll be fine. I didn’t want them skin-tight anyway. That said…

How the manufacturers of skinny jeans think my legs look:

How the manufacturers of knee-high boots think my legs look:

News flash–my legs actually look like neither one of these pictures! These people need to get together and have a meeting or something because there is no way that skinny jeans should fit everywhere else and yet be tight on calves that look like a broomstick in a bucket in most boots. Who the fuck are they making this stuff for?! Anyway, the coated skinnies are kind of tight in the calf, but not ridiculously so, and the ankle isn’t too tight, plus they were pretty goddamned cheap, so I’m keeping them. I still have to wonder what the thundering FUCK the manufacturers are thinking. I could understand it if it was über-cheap Chinese stuff that had been fitted on some inflatable “US lady girl size” mannequin, but the jeans are FFS Levis, and the boots…well, it’s most of them, so whatever.

P.S. B. can correctly identify “burgundy”, and I know he can because that’s twice he’s got it right. Five! Five colours! Heh.

P.P.S. Oh, found some tutorials on DIY coated jeans. I might do the second pair of black skinny jeans that I got for $9.99. I love the first pair, and bought the second because…well, because I loved the first pair and they were ten bucks (free shipping). Might be fun to try, but I think maybe I’ll hunt down a pair of black jeans I don’t care about first, just to see how the finished product looks.
