It occurred to me the other day that I can't remember the last time I wore jeans! I used to wear them every day except when it was warm/hot, but this past winter I wore them maybe a couple of times.
I guess as I get older I'm more concerned with comfort than style.
Anyone else notice a change in their style of clothing recently?

Blue jeans and t-shirts are my uniform! I consider them pretty comfortable, especially with the way jeans usually have some percentage of spandex or lycra in them nowadays! Not that I wear them so tight, I just mean that they have some flex and bend to them.
On the other hand, I saw my mother wearing jeans the other day for the first time in about 20 years, I think. I guess everyone's version of comfort is different! |

| Is there something other than blue jeans to wear? If so I was unaware........ and as far as comfort - nothing could be as comfortable as my old blue jeans! |

| Last winter I wore my maternity jeans a lot. It's been so hot this summer. Plus I don't think I have any that fit me. I have a bit of baby weight to lose. :) I always wear shorts, flannel pants, and t-shirt or tank top. Almost always pink too. On rare occasions I may wear white, gray, or black, but usually always pink. Maybe if I had a pair of pink jeans! |

I adore my pregnancy jeans and since they were for early pregnancy I have been wearing them a lot, but they are completely shot now. They lived a long life... they were my sister's before mine. I do like to wear jeans, but I love my velour jogging pants too!!

blue jeans - is there anything else? I will always wear jeans. They are very comfortable and the most comfortable are when they are naturally worn out!

Yep. All the time. After I get home from the office, I put on my jeans and flip flops. I have 10 pair of jeans, all the same kind. I learned my lesson the hard way when I bought a pair a few years ago from American Eagle, loved them to death and the silly company "resized" them to fit tiny skinny minny girls. This time, these jeans will last me!
I love jeans with high heeled boots and pretty brocade jackets or velevet blazers for the autumn. So easy and stylish!

I do wear jeans but this summer has been so hot, you can find me in shorts or capris. In the winter, sometimes I also wear sweats.
May God bless those who love the soil,

| I only own jeans too as far as pants go. When I worked I wore alot of hemp drawstring skirts. Now that I'm home I live in pajama pants that I buy at the thrift store. They are comfy for everything-especially gardening. With low jeans-your bum shows while you garden-quite a show for the neighbors!!!!I do have to throw jeans on if I run to the store tho!!! We are lucky here on the coast-it doesnt get too terribly hot. I don't even own shorts anymore! Drawstring capris are comfy on the hottest day! |

| My jeans and I are best friends! Down here in the South, they are too hot to wear during the summer, so I wear blue jean shorts and sleeveless shirts every day, except to work and church. I'm fortunate -- I can wear jeans to work, and at early service, we are really casual, so I can wear them (nice ones!) to church, too. I do own two nice skirts and two nice pairs of slacks, for weddings, funerals and dressy occasions, but I am SOOOO glad that doesn't happen very often in my world! My jeans are loose fit and hit my waist -- I'm really a fairly conservative dresser, and don't have the figure for the new low-cut jeans. But, I love 'em, and wear them every day! |

I've been a blue jeans girl for most of my life, much to the dismay of my mother, who wanted me to dress in frills... yuck!
Now, my daily wear is blue jeans, t-shirt, and boots. If it's cool, I'll throw on a denim shirt. If I have to go to town, I put on CLEAN jeans and a western-style shirt.
Ever since I found Wal-Mart makes jeans for "full-sized" women... I'm in hog heaven... at less than $20 a pair, I own several.
Don't forget the cowboy hat... I just don't go out without it.

Yes, I wear jeans! I haven't wore jeans for years but after I attended in March a Cowgirl College in AZ, I wear them everyday! Summertime I just roll the legs up a couple times! I seem to see many woman wearing them like that. I thought I would never wear jeans again but now it's hard to see me without them!

Shari, I'm with you. Since we've retired to the countryside of the Black Hills, all I wear are jeans, my boots - even in the hot summer we've been having. It's hard to do outside work in anything else. Even when I go to town I don't care if my jeans or shirt are dirty - it just shows that I've been working hard. I also just throw on my favorite, but worn cowboy hats and I'm off to town in my pick-up truck. Come fall and winter, it's flannel shirts on top of a long sleeved t-shirt. Had a funeral and a wedding this summer, so had to make a special trip into the big city and find a dress and a fancy suit. Couldn't wait to get back into my jeans afterwards. And when I find a pair of jeans that fit - I buy at least two or three pair of them. To me there's just nothing else to wear than jeans.
Peace and love.

Oh and I have blue jean skirts that I wear. I have one on right now actually! Knee Length with a A line flare. I love it! I am thinking of finding material I like and copying the pattern and trying to sew my own!
