An Ode to New Black Jeans
Oh, new black jeans
Why would you come here
To this place
This place of cat hair and carpet floof
How could you be so cruel

THIS was no easy feat! My wireless remote thingie is currently out of battery so I’ve been relying on the self-timer…AND jumping rope at the same time.
CHAMPION BLOGGER RIGHT HERE.

wednesday
Brr, was not supposed to go above high 30s today, so…a chunky turtleneck over thin tee seemed right.
Today’s and Monday’s jeans are the new ones I just got when they were on crazy sale last week. I was able to go down one size and it’s SO nice to not have big baggy wrinkly pant legs! I was hoping they’d have off-white but this is a hard time of year to find white jeans.

thursday
Whoop! Whoop! COLOR ALERT! COLOR ALERT! A rare “Bettye in Color” sighting – especially this time of year. I’ve had these coral jeans for years and they’d been too small for…a couple years and have been on The Pile. The “to be sold but I never quite around to it” pile. I don’t know what possessed me to grab them to try on but…they became the outfit of the day. I knew I wanted to wear the navy top and didn’t want to be dark on the bottom as well (like I usually do lately)
Shirt: Vislily | Gifted | 3x
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Jeans | 22 short |Coral Essence
Sneakers: Keds Champions
friday
There was frost on the windshield this morning; hence, chunky turtleneck. Was near 60 degrees when I went out for lunch. I think I could hide Janey under this sweater and bring her to work with me.
Sweater: Loft Navy Poncho Turtleneck | 2x | No longer available, comparable here
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Jeans | 22 short | Crystal White
Sneakers: Converse Shoreline Slip-Ons
I’m ready for a break from clothing, ha ha. Some days I’m so into it and other times I’m just like Must I??
At least next week is just two days in the office so I can slack on “outside” clothing.

Sometimes I feel fun and funny. And sometimes I feel like “here’s me in black pants the end.”
Glad to know you’re reading!

Black jeans that do okay with kitty hair??? They are out there. Coated. You need the coated ones. Or leather. Seriously life changing!!

Ha, thanks. Sometimes things just come to me. My favorite is years ago I song I made up (as I was driving around and around the block looking for a parking spot) called “Looking for a Parking Spot at Rockaway Beach.” It was BRILLIANT, ha ha. I was pretty pleased with myself…and wish I could find the lyrics. Yeah, I get a kick out of myself sometimes 🙂 Glad you enjoyed xoxo
