What a pleasant surprise

I tend to pick out my clothes the night before, particularly when I go to the gym in the morning. I figure the less I have to think first thing in the morning, the better! I have also started the habit of trying on the outfit to make sure things go together. Sometimes you just can not tell unless it is on, right?

So last night I was thinking I would wear my dark jeans and my black boots and this button down shirt that hes 3/4 length sleeves. [It is that in between summer and fall weather right now where a t-shirt doesn't seem like enough and a long-sleeved shirt feels like overkill!] I put the jeans on and am half way to my "closet" (I'll write more about my apartment when I have internet there and can post in the comfort of my own home)...where was I? Oh, so I am half way to the closet and I think, "These aren't the dark long jeans with stretch that I meant to put on. Which jeans are these? NO. It can't be???" I take them off right there in the hall (I live alone now, I can do that!) and they are my skinny jeans.

These are the jeans I could wear when I first started grad school four years ago! These are the jeans I could not pull past my knees just a couple of years ago! I guess it is worth making time to go to the gym.

Yay!! I've been wanting to get into a pair of jeans for a while now too, but I don't think she will let me :0

Woo woo! I only hope it's not stress-induced, though at least that's a positive side effect :)

Great news. :-) Especially since the Skinny Jean Trend is full-on at the moment.
