Skinny hater

The ball of fire received the cutest pair of camo jeans for his birthday. I'll admit, I was envious.

Today while I was diligently (ahem) working on some freelance copy, I decided to check out some favorite stores for a pair of camo jeans in a mommy-friendly size. I thought they would look cute with the new Dr. Marten Mary Janes I'll purchase with my freelance cash.

I stopped by Gap and Banana Republic. No luck.

Inspiration struck. Urban Outfitters. Of course!

Then I saw it. Right there in the jeans section. Skinny jeans. And not just skinny jeans, but those God awful Jordache-looking-tight-around-the-ankles-80s-flashback skinny jeans.

Damnit, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I fucking hate retro sometimes.

Good news -- the skinny jeans fad is already a couple of years old and is on its way out. High-waisted, wide-legged jeans are the next hottest thing in jeans. I am the mother of a teenaged fashion plate so I know these things.

And, PS: The 80s trends really should be banished from fashiondom forevermore.
