A short while ago I put up a thread asking for advice about jeans as I was thinking of buying a pair, trousers being a new thing for me, I've been a skirts and dresses girl all these years. Over a few days I got loads of comments and advice and so went away to mull it all over. Well, after thinking it all through I settled that straight would be best for me so, just now, during my lunch hour, I went to the local Sainsbury's and found a pair that looked just right. I chose Sainsbury's as they're local and cheap - as this was partly an experiment I didn't want to spend too much on the first pair. Sadly, and this always dismays me, I had to buy the short legged ones as I'm not gifted with ultra long legs. And here I sit in my new jeans. My first impressions are they are a great fit, the material is slightly stretchy which makes them super comfy. Also, and this was a concern from the feedback, the pockets are deep enough for my keys, phone and wallet. I'm looking forwards seeing what the other half makes of them when she gets back from work this evening and then, in future, to going out and about in them in the wider world. I'm sure that nothing will happen as people will neither notice nor care.
So, to one and all, thanks for being there and helping me along.
