A Good Pair of Jeans

I've heard it said before that the right pair of jeans could make the whole world look better, but I never believed it until today. Today I think I got the first pair of jeans that ever really felt like they fit me right. And not just in one of my many trouble areas but they fit right everywhere... they fit over the big curvey hips, but still come in enough to cover the smaller waste and not create a big gap showing off my undies. They are boot cut so they have a nice line on the leg and are not too tight at the thigh or calf. They feel good on me and I feel good in them. Best part of it is they are two sizes smaller than I wore 4 months ago. Another great feature is they were a no rason for it gift from my generous big sis who also got me two great bras and a cute green sweater. The sweater is a little bold for me... it's a shade I would not normally go for... a little bright for my usual taste, and it's a little more fitted not baggy like I usually lean towards... but it looks slimming on me. I think I'm feeling good about myself, and it's a nice place to be.

I also spent the time today to straighten my hair. My ever so generous sister just gave me her old chi hair straightening iron and it gets soo hot that it actually works to straighten my boing boing curls out flat and keep them that way. It looked pretty good... a little hard to get used to, but different and I like that. It even inspired me to do my eyebrows and put on some makeup this morning. I just might start taking the time again to care about what I look like before leaving the house... hmmm...... we'll see that sounds like quite the commitment.

Anyway today was a good day.... good looks... good fortune... good company... a nice step towards a transformation.
