Green Jeans

Funny story. Six years ago I found myself in awe walking through the Bellagio hotel in Vegas. I was wearing these really cool kelly-green jeans with black and white accessories. I thought I rocked? Out of nowhere I was verbally assaulted by this belligerent young "woman" who yells "Hey, St. Patrick's Day was last month!" I. Was. Mortified. My boss was with me and offered a gracious, "I don't think she was talking to you." Yeah. If you saw the green on these jeans, you would fully appreciate the hilarity of that comment. I'm pretty sure I gave those jeans away soon after in an attempt to bury that fashion mis-hap forever. Which brings me to today...today, when I opened the Sept. 2011 issue of InStyle magazine. It's the size of a phone book, by the way. Thanks for making it easy on us, you evil-style-makers. Anyway, would you like guess what the new hot item for Fall 2011 is? Oh yes, friends. The bright colored jean has RETURNED. I said returned in case you missed it. That means they WERE in and guess who was on-point 6 years ago? Just to push this movement forward I brought reinforcements. Today, I purchased some hot pink skinnies, size 5 slim, for my little mini-me. This Fall WE will be rockin' these jeans & I will post pics in all of our 80's and (apparent 2005) revival glory. In the meantime I sure wish I could face that Vegas B.I. again. I'd say it looks like St. Patrick's Day has returned. Word.
