There is nothing better to gaze upon than a cute guy in blue jeans. I was in college in the early 1980s when Bruce Springsteen was dancing in the dark in his blue jeans (and how many of us would have loved to have been the girl he was dancing with?!!) and showing all of us that a cute guy in Levi’s is something to behold.
Life changes. We go on. But I still cannot resist checking out a cute guy in blue jeans. And I am guessing that many of you reading feel the same. The way someone moves in blue jeans tells you quite a bit about them.
Checking out my closet reveals I have either cute summer clothes, you know those great little dresses that slide right over your head in the heat of summer, shorts which I live in, really fancy clothes and blue jeans. I have running around blue jeans, look-fantastic blue jeans, Saturday night blue jeans, skinny blue jeans and of course, everyday blue jeans. I also have two blue jean jackets. It’s pretty clear that I really love my blue jeans.
There seems to be a pattern here.
A few weeks ago, it occurred to me that while I have all these different types of blue jeans, I still struggled with how I looked in them. Add to that, I simply live in work-out clothes. I rarely wear make-up and my hair; I am ashamed to say, is usually in a pony-tail. Now, Jodie Foster has said she lives in work-out clothes, so I’m in good company. But I never really look all pulled-together. And if I ever do pull myself together, it doesn’t feel totally comfortable.
I decided to do something about it. One day at the pool, I talked with my friend Joy, who always looks pulled together. We joked about a “uniform”, you know, something you feel really comfortable in and you have a few pairs of. For example, she suggested I find jeans I really like, great black pants and t-shirts or tops that I really felt good in. Oh, and don’t forget the boots.
