why i like denim jeans

today my thoughts turn to denim. here are some of the reasons why i just loooove wearing jeans:

* denim is durable. a pair of jeans can last for years. they are machine washable; no special care instructions necessary. they are very easy to maintain and care for. they can be ironed, if you wish.. although most jeans do not need to be.

* they're versatile. you can wear them with roundnecked shirts or collared blouses. you can jazz them up with rhinestones and sequins for a more glammed up look. a simple pair of denim jeans can be transformed from plain, ordinary casual to Über chic with only a couple of accessories.

* jeans are comfortable to wear. you don't have to worry about wrinkling your denims each time you sit or stand.

* they come in a variety of styles and designs. they have flare jeans, slim fit, straight cut, boot leg (hehe), button fly, low waist, elephant, faded, distressed, etc. etc. and to think that these come in all sorts of colors: from the traditional blues to blacks, browns, whites, khakis and yes, even reds, greens and pinks! haha! the only drawback here is that it's soooo difficult to choose that perfect pair of jeans! :p

* jeans have lots of pockets. i especially like those that have weird-looking pockets.. or an unusual number of them, at least. i saw one that had at least 10 different pockets. aside from the usual 4 (and that smaller inner pocket at the right side), this pair of jeans had pockets on pockets.. and 2 or more located near the hem of the pants. hehe. cool :)

* they hide a multitude of bodily flaws. hahaha. if you're like me, you probably have a lot of bulges that you'd like to hide. that's one reason why i love jeans. they can make you look slimmer than you really are.. and (provided you wear the proper size and style, of course), they can give the illusion of height too. plus, they can make your booty look more "booty-licious" as well, hehehehe Ü

* you can find them practically anywhere. there's no need to go to special boutiques just to buy them. they come in all sorts of price ranges, too. from the cheapest bargain buys to the priciest designer labels.. you can take your pick among the hosts of "perfect denims."

* jeans help bridge the gap among classes. well, when you think of it, it's true Ü almost everyone i know wears jeans. young, old, rich, poor, male or female.. you see all kinds of people wearing jeans. (ok, i admit.. i really was shocked to find out that friend carl does not own a single pair! but he's a different case hehe)

tonight i'll be at the mall again. hmm. i have some cash with me. i just might go denim-hunting later hehehehe Ü
