This past weekend my boyfriend and I went on a little getaway to Santana Row in San Jose…to rest up for our vacation this weekend. More on the upcoming vacation coming soon.
For this post, I wanted to share with you one of the most exciting events of my weekend. No, not the food (though it was good), not the wine (though I had a lot), and not the sex (though it was great). It was the shopping. Or specifically, a particular item I found while shopping:
THE PERFECT pair of jeans.
We all seek them and seldom find them. In high school, my perfect pair of jeans had zips on the ankles so that I could tuck them into my scrunchy socks. Hey – shut up - it was the 80’s. After school I worked at The GAP so the perfect pair was whichever of their cuts fit me well enough to justify using my employee discount. After that kids were born and the idea of anything fitting well again seemed impossible. Oh, there were some that came close, but they’d always shrink. Or I’d gain weight. Whatever. Then there were those that seemed perfect but I later realized were too short to get the perfect hem to high heel ratio.
The jeans I found in San Jose are PERFECT. Here’s how it went down. We walked into BCBG just to browse and right there in the front of the store was a rack that said 70% off. And right on the end of that rack were the jeans. My jeans. In my size. They were a dark blue wash, more dressy than casual, with a narrow but not skinny leg. I marched right back to the fitting rooms and voila – perfection. Snug in the hips and bum without being tight. High enough on the waist to cover my belly roll, but not high enough to be mom jeans. And the length was perfect even in my 4 1/2 inch platform boots. Heaven.
The icing on the cake is that the discount brought them to $38. Crazy huh?
Ladies, the perfect jean does exist. Keep shopping!
