The toughest game in thrifting: Jeans


When I was at my college homecoming's step-show a woman on the floor (a spirited spectator) had on such a mesmerizing outfit- She had on extremely acid-washed, high-waist, tapered-leg jeans that I knew came from a thrift store. They were too amazing for retail.

She had them on with a mid-riff top. She was too cute.

This turned over a new leaf in me, or un-blocked a mental block about sifting through jeans at thrift stores. I had to get over this.

I'm over it. I found perfection in these vintage Guess triangle-butt-tag skinny leg jeans.

And they were made in the U.S.A., y'all. Damn, right?

I got over this block a while back and have found several pairs of thrift store jeans that I'm very happy with. I think it's worth the sift-time too since thrift store jeans are typically so cheap.

Sometimes I make the focus of my thrift store visit just to seek out and even try-on jeans. It's easier that way because pants-hunting at thrift stores truly is, in my opinion, the toughest game there is.

Negligent Lipstick

march-7th-_
Today I wore this glittery shrug from F21, puff sleeve chiffon blouse plucked from the American Apparel warehouse sale, J Brand skiiiinny leggin' jeans and H&M pumps with studs all over the heels. And vans sunglasses.

This lipstick is Revlon Super Lustrous in Temptress and it's from that bag of freebies I'm working my way through.
I like this shade and formula, because it's sheer and I can apply it in that negligent way busy ladies love - fast, not-really-looking, messy- it works. Since I'm not riding on pink tires right now, I feel like I need to compensate with pink lipstick and super-girly clothes.

The Mom Jeans of My Dreams

Lee Mom Jeans
I used to sometimes sneak into JCPenney and grab some Levi's on the cheap. After the Ellen debacle, I decided to speak up for my love of the JCP. Wednesday night I was killing time and made the unexpected discovery that Lee Classic Fit Straight Leg Jeans are the jeans of my dreams.

They had tags from hell on them and I kind of thought "If these fit, it means I'm an old lady for real in the gross way" but they fit and my booty looks sexy-
My dream high-waist mom jeans found @jcpenney last night. Lee $24
So now I've gone online and ordered additional colors.

They fit like Judi Rosens! For 1/10th of the price.
Super high waist, straight leg. $24.

The website is full of NIGHTMARES so only look at one this little link. Don't click around!

Get your mom jeans and go.

ps- If you don't have a badonkadonk, disregard all of this.
