New Jeans

"I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes."

- Yves Saint Laurent (for you non-fashionistas he was an extremely famous French designer)

Now why I am blogging about blue jeans? (Those of you who read my Facebook page can probably guess). Yesterday I worked a 1/2 day and then went to the Church History Library to meet my parents. They've been serving their mission since June 2008 and I finally got around to going to lunch with them at the Church Office Building (bad daughter!). It was fun and I got to meet lots of their friends, fellow missionaries, and the staff they work with. After a couple of hours my feet were killing me (thanks to the adorable, but now painful heels I was wearing).

I had planned to go right home after leaving the folks but instead I decided to swing by Macy's. I had a 20% off coupon just screaming to be used. (Darn you, Macy's and your stupid One Day sales that occur every week). I really needed some new jeans. The one pair I've been wearing has gotten too big and you can only shrink them in the dryer so much.

I have really short legs so finding jeans can be a bit of an issue for me. Luckily they had a great petite selection. First I found a really cute pair that fit and looked good for only $10! Hello, you cannot pass up $10 jeans. But the real surprise of the day is when I decided to try on a pair of Levi's in a size smaller than what I've been wearing. I figured it couldn't hurt to see how far away I was from fitting into them. Guess what? They fit and they look really cute!!! I am so happy.

Amanda is going to eat some fresh strawberries & blackberries (no sugar for this girl if I want to stay in my cute jeans).
