I tend to prefer darker jeans because they're easier to dress up, and they're more work-appropriate for me. I can wear them with a little jacket, fun top, and killer shoes and they never let me down. I like paler ones sometimes, but only when I'm feeling ghetto. And you know... that just don't happen so often.
My problem with jeans is fit. I wear a 32, but I need something that's got more room through the hip and thigh. If the waist is any bigger, it just won't work. And I don't really care for that 'Oh, Gee, Do you like how I painted these on??" look. Besides, any girl who is wearing a 32 shouldn't even try it. Unless you're Sophie Dahl. And I doubt she's a 32. I also like a bit of stretch, I find it keeps the jeans looking crisper. Also, it helps avoiding plumber-butt in those ultra low-rise. At least I don't have a thong hanging out all over the place. But still.
Any suggestions?
