The title of this blog is "Sleep, Sanity and Skinny Jeans" and it was originally a reference to all the things I have lost in my motherhood journey. I have slowly been regaining the first two, in little baby steps, but had not yet made the plunge into the final realm of Skinny Jeans. I have been working out HARD for a year and trying to eat relatively healthily, but like every woman out there, I still harbour some insecurities about my body. But while I was out Christmas shopping last week, I saw a pair of skinny jeans and said, "What the heck, let's try them on!" and then I bought them.
(This is my mirror on a good day. Same goes for my bedroom. We are a classy people.)
They have taken some getting used to, since they really accentuate my pear-shaped frame. But I am rocking them, loving the change and working the booty I have toiled so hard to lift from the miry depths of post-partum despair.
Here's to lycra, positive self-image, and buying presents for yourself instead of other people while you're out doing your holiday shopping!
Good for you, girl - and they look beautiful! Pshaw about your "pear shape" because you are lovely, inside and out. I'm so happy you love them so much! YAY!! xox
Here here! Nice work, nice jeans!
I always end up dragging home tons of goodies for me as I shop, so I hardly buy myself any official gifties because of it - good for you! Hell, you need something to make all that Christmas shopping more fun.
