Blue Jeans

Being in a place of high fashion, I couldn't help myself and bought a pair of skinny jeans. No not like these

Maybe more like this

And this isn't to say it didn't take some convincing. Two out of two ladies agreed they look great. And ultimately if two ladies say I need to do something, like get these jeans, then I'm probably going to. But I was still conflicted about them. The problem is that they are very dark. I thought they were black until one of the ladies put them under brighter lights. And the problem with that is finding things to go with them.

One thing that I know works is white t-shirts. However, in order to pull off this style, one ought not have the body type of a twelve year old boy. Another problem is shoes. Now boots would be great. Like these

Nothing says you're a man quite like wearing alligator skin. However, I am not a dragon slayer who carries a double edged axe. I am a nerd who sits in a cubicle. So these would probably not be for me. That and they go for $425.

Finally I would like to comment on the difficulty of writing this post. I bought one single item of denim. However, while one might say, "I bought a shirt", no one says, "I bought a blue jean." Everyone says, "I bought a pair of blue jeans." So even though I bought one item, I want to refer to it in the plural. I am not the only one to wonder about this. As one poster indicates scissors are another problem. No one says, "please pass me the scissor." One could say that maybe it's because there are the two distinct legs to them, like how jeans have two legs. But this doesn't translate to bras. No one ever says, "I bought a pair of bras," and means just one. What a curious language the English language is.
