Jeans New and Blue

Wrangler regular fit jeans

I bought a new pair of blue jeans the other day.  What I found fascinatting was how this elicited such mixed feelings on my part.  I felt good because I was able to buy a new pair of jeans without having to worry about how I would pay for them.  I felt disappointed because I had to buy a bigger size because, well, I have put on a few pounds again.  I felt excited because I thought they would look good on me.  I felt odd because I had to buy a shorter length than I used too because apparently I have shrunk a bit. 

Yes, there is nothing like new pair of jeans, especially if they fit just right.  And these Wranglers did.  I was comfortable in them the minute I put them on.  And they looked new, but not too new.  I bit broken in, but not too broken in.  And practical.  I usually prefer Levi's Button Fly 501's, but have you priced those things lately?  These Wranglers were just right for the transition I am sure I will be going through again as I watch my calorie intake (once again) and get myself under control.  A new pair of jeans can do that for you.  

When you think about it, why did buying a new pair of jeans inspire this blog?  Lord only knows, but, truly, I find it is the little things in life that make life worth living...sometimes.  A new pair of true blue jeans can do that.  Yes they can.
