Much to the despair of my very elegant Parent, I wear jeans 360 days of the year. That's a shocking statistic, isn't it? I'm shocked. And it's not as if I don't own any trousers - I even have dresses and, wait for it, a couple of skirts. But I don't wear them, because why would I? I have jeans.
This debilitating reliance is, obviously, due to an absolute lack of sartorial imagination. But my reasoning is thus: If you go for solid blue, or black, and you don't allow any gee-gaws, and insist that the cuffs come down beyond your ankles, it is difficult to get jeans wrong. Most people look OK in jeans, including me. I have some which I think are probably 'good', and some which should be kept for indoors, and I have one proper designer pair which work miracles, but on a daily basis I know I look OK in my jeans. They go with everything. They're not expensive.
I'm depressing myself.
But the love affair may be facing a hiccup. I've been offered a 'proper' job - in the CITY! Which means that for the first time in my life I will not be able to wear jeans to work. A change is comin', people. And things may never be the same again...

according to the magazine i just read in the bath called 'stylist' denim is de rigeur this spring/summer as sported on the celine catwalk..so you might be in luck. a classy trouser suit in denim might be the next best thing!
