Shopping for jeans in the wintertime is about as depressing as shopping for swimsuits in the summer. I’d be happy to stay with my comfortable old jeans, but now that I can wear jeans to work, I thought it might be worth the adventure to the mall for a new stylish pair. I tried on jeans with all the embellishments and some mystery called “skinny jeans”, until a young sales woman approaches me and says with a smile, “Are you actually going to try that on?” That should have been enough to make me run to the nearest gym, but instead I run […]
