A: I stumbled across these shoes
and I'm sort of...considering them? I have a 20% off coupon: |
| Coclico Renny |
M: Those are interesting for sure. I like the color.
A: I should be saving towards boots, but... I am bad at shopping.
M: Well, let's see. Don't you have purple shoes already?
A: Those are brown with purple trim! Totally different. I do have tall purple-ish Frye t-straps, though.
M: Ah, they read plum at first. You really, really want boots, though. Devil's advocate.
A: I know. Ugh.
M: I'm sorry! They are real pretty and definitely your style. But.
M: I think I want this haircut:
A: I love you, but that looks like long curly hair to me. (I AM BASICALLY A DUDE.)
M: I swear.
A: I'm sorry! I do not understand this photo in the context of "haircut" but it does look like glorious, long curly hair I will never have.
M: Sigh
A: It looks like your hair! Which is gloriously long and curly! I'm going to go play football now! Maybe drink some beer!
M: Impossible. Have you decided on the shoes?
A: Eh, free returns, I ordered them on spec.
M: Oooh. Yay for new shoes!
A: I'm pretty sure Coclico and Chie Mihara are made at the same place, so I'm curious.
M: I didn't know that! Interesting. I still covet those blue Coclico wedges.
A: Oh god, those are fantastic.
M: These are the perfect skinny jeans I have been searching for:

| 7FAMK Slim Illusion Rinse Skinny Jeans |
A: Ooooh, those look really good! I had to return my original pair of 7 For All Mankind Kimmie jeans because they were more than 50% stretch and felt like Old Navy jeans. I try-tried again with these:

| 7FAMK Kimmie |
A: Same cut, different fabric/color. They're pretty good.
M: Those look freaking perfect! I seriously might lose my mind and buy those skinny jeans.
A: I think that's entirely reasonable as long as they're absolutely perfect. I don't mess around with jeans. If that pair is on Amazon, they have two promotions running right now. You can get 20% off by signing up for their clothing emails or $20 off denim.
M: THEY ARE ON AMAZON TELL ME MORE I WILL BUY THEM RANOW.
A: Dammit, now I want these:
 |
| 7FAMK Slim Cigarette Jeans |
M: God, we are a sick lot. I really hope these jeans work. I was seriously in tears last week over my skinny jean situation? Sad.
A: I only have one pair of jeans I can wear with boots right now. It's downright tragical.
M: My Gap skinny jeans kind of split my peaches a bit and I just can't handle it any more.
A: I have my black skinny jeans that I can still squeeze into but my blue ones (Levi's) are OBSCENE.
M: Those Joe's jeans skinny monsters!
A: Oh, not those! I have another pair that are actual jeans. I'd forgotten about the "force them on" pants. Ha.
M: Just depressing.
A: YOU WILL LOVE THEM.
You guys crack me up! This sounds like a conversation I have in my head every time I online shop.

Dude - you simply MUST get the 7famk illusion jeans. I just got them (wore them today, in fact), and despite the fact that I get downright stabby about spending so much cash on "premium denim," this is one instance in which I think it's worth it. They are super slimming, and super comfy. Even the waistband doesn't pinch and is stretchy. I have thick legs and sized up to reduce the sausage-casing effect, and I like the fit, but if I wanted them to be more second-skin-like, I probably could have taken my normal size.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love you guys. Have been reading, like, for-evah but have never posted. But you are my internets favorites.

Hi Abby, thanks for reading! And for making me want Marianne's coveted jeans! Dammit.
DeleteI AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE JEANS. I am worried that I ordered them a size too big, but we'll see. YAY!
DeleteWait, what size did you get? You didn't follow my advice, did you.
DeleteI had a panicky last minute change of heart. Because that size was almost sold out, but the smaller size wasn't, so I didn't want to risk them being too small and then not being able to get the bigger size? I don't know.
DeleteThat is acceptable. And I think they do free exchanges.
DeleteThey do! So we shall see. I can't wait to try them.
DeleteYay! I can't wait to hear how you like them. I pretty much haven't taken them off since I got them. It's a little scary how much I like them. Abby
DeleteI just ordered a pair. I'm weak.
