Basic B

Yesterday I wore my non-stretch jeans for the first time since they were washed and oh dear.  No stretch denim equals no chill.  I may or may not have unbuttoned them while driving/almost passed out while sitting through a presentation.  Perhaps I should hold off on the stiff denim and stick to these Mavi Emma boyfriend jeans.  The new slimmer leg is the perfect compromise between a skinny and a bf cut, plus they’re the ultimate in comfort.

I’ve found myself recently struggling with the newest comfortable trends.  From athleisure to baggy tops/dresses, suddenly it’s okay to parade around in your gym shoes and not see your waistline for weeks at a time!  I used to pride my personal style on being slightly dressier than the average person and I find that 85% of the time I’d kind of rather just throw on my little white sneakers instead of my heels.  I can’t decide if it’s the newest trends working against me, the influence of a notoriously casual Pacific Northwest, or the fact that I’m getting older?  Maybe we’ll never know!  For now, I think I’ll just embrace the liberating feeling of hiding my natural figure and bask in the comfort of wearing only oversized pieces.
