Sick Fashion Sense. Cough Cough.

October 22, 2009 · 16 comments

You won’t believe this.

I wouldn’t believe it myself had I not been been the one to do it.

I bought something.

Something I never ever in a plazillion years would have thought I’d buy.  Last week, though, I found myself out shopping.

Out shopping specifically for this item mind you.

It was like two universes collided out in the depths of space somewhere and, as a result, all my fashion sense went out the window.

Except for one thing.

Once I found what I was looking for, I felt exactly the opposite.

Like all my fashion sense had been in hiding, and it suddenly came into light.

Like my super-fly fashion potential was unlocked.

Like I should sit by the phone and wait for Mr. Armani to call.

Okay.  Maybe that’s taking it a tad too far.

But still.

So.

You wanna know what I bought?

Okay.

I’ll tell you.

It was jeans.

Of the skinny variety.

Yes.  I’m serious.

And when I wear them I feel like one of those catwalk models.

Only much shorter.

And thicker.

And happier.

But totally hip nonetheless.

Oh wait.  It’s so 1990 (or 1975′ish) to say hip.

Totally sick then.

Sick like hot, not sick sick.

You know what I mean.

Anyway.

My purchase was in preparation for another trip to Walt Disney World.

I’m leaving this weekend.

Alone.

For three glorious nights.

I’ll be representing the Disney World Moms Panel, and meeting a fabulous group of blogging mamas.

And then, collectively, we’ll be meeting one of Disney’s new VIP’s.

As in, Very Important Princesses.

She’s gorgeous, by the way.

Her dress puts my new skinny jeans to shame.

On the bright side though – all I had to do was shell out $80.

She kissed a frog.

Who came out ahead in that deal?  Ahem.

You are so funny. My middle schoolers taught me an appropriate phrase this week… “off the hook.” I bet you look off the hook in those jeans!

I will be wearing my skinny jeans too at some point! $80 is a good price. I fell in love with this brand (G-Star) that fit me so nice. I bought 2 pr. last year…on sale I found out later for $69 each. I went in last week to buy another pair and they cost $190. Soooo….the jeans I have now will do me just fine!

Can’t wait to see you in yours. :-)

I can’t actually believe you’d even post this without pictures. What a tease!

You know I can’t wait to see pics, and to hear all about your weekend. Have a great trip!

K, so this is probably rude. But I’m desperate. Steph’s doing the Disneyland trip giveaway on her blog, and I’m a finalist. And I’m losing. As a fellow Disney lover, will you please vote for my story at http://www.metropolitanmama.net so my family can go enjoy a weekend in the Happiest Place on Earth? Either way, have fun on your trip, and congrats on finding great jeans. :)

Yay for buying jeans you like! I’m pretty hopeless at that!

I do like Princess Tiana’s dress though. I’d definitely rather wear that than jeans! :D
