My question is, why do jeans that are old and ratty and have holes and patches feel so good? They seem to empower me to do more....maybe because I don't fear what happens to them. But in general, I don't worry about jeans anyway.

I pulled this one from the archives. Just to have some pic to post.

Decluttered a bit today...while doing that I found Christmas in July for Lorelei. Found two or three stocking stuffers I had forgotten about. So maybe she will get them before next Christmas.
I found another pair of ratty jeans...that I why I ask. I just had to put them on and they felt so good! I often wonder will I ever quit wearing jeans. I don't think I will. Though the last few pairs, I really have felt the need to redo the pockets. The pockets are what draws me to jeans, and in women's jeans, they make them smaller and smaller.
I would hate to tell what I got rid of today...it had an expiration date of the early 2000's--I think 2001, but not sure. Might possibly have been 2003. I think I didn't get rid of the stuff before because I just didn't know what to do with it...this time I did not give it a thought. It helped to fill another garbage sack from the old garage. Another one of mainly plastic containers.
I also got rid of more of my old clothes that I was hoping to wear again...but I have given up on that.
Anyway, that is how I spent my afternoon...that and re-arranging a few things and I want to re-arrange some more. Maybe even rid myself of more things.
I guess I will never stop wearing jeans either because I will be 79 years old this coming Tuesday and I still wear them every day except to church on Sunday. Thank you for visiting my blog. Paula from south Texas
ReplyDeleteI still wear jeans, in fact, I am wearing them now. They are comfortable so why stop wearing them??
ReplyDeleteI rarely wear jeans, have a couple of pairs though that still fit. I need a declutter as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, I too love to wear jeans though not everyday. The older they are, they more comfortable they are. I too need to de-clutter but I do not which to give away especially my books!
ReplyDeletei agree the older and rattier the better they feel and i also hate to wear fresh washed jeans, i like them after they are worn a few times. i don't wash bob's or mine until they get to the place they look dirty.. jeans and capri's are the only things i wear.... good girl on getting rid of stuff... the leaves are beautiful...
ReplyDeleteOld jeans are comfortable because they FIT and are broken in just right for this old body.
ReplyDeleteSince I have moved in with Bob I have thrown lots of items with realy old past due dates. and when I moved in I got rid of lots of my stuff I didn't need. Hey wait where did my______go? Aw, I don't miss it.

I know what you mean: old jeans that have been worn in feel like they've been custom-made. Good luck with the tidy-out. I've always worked on the basis that best-before dates were purely advisory, and, if the contents passed the sniff test, could be safely ignored. All the best, Bonny
ReplyDeleteI love wearing jeans except in the summer when I wear capris. I think the older the better because the denim has softened with many washings.
ReplyDeleteI need to get back to my organizing and throwing out stuff I don't need. It's a job!
Have a nice Sunday!
I need to do that very badly. I do it now and then but never get any good momentum going. Maybe this winter...
ReplyDeleteI need to de-clutter so bad..but I just can't get in the mood!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and don't work too hard!
