Dear Nicole,
You might as well not tell me that stirrups are coming back into style, because I will not (CAN not) believe you, per earlier trauma AKA late ’80s / early ’90s.
Love, Swistle
I saw the stirrup jeans with my own eyes. They were too awful for words.
Hi Nicole,
This post has me chuckling. I ran across your blog on Mothering Mayhem and decided to pay a visit to you because I too am a girl in a house of boys, 4 to be exact (1 hubby and 3 darling sons). My only reprieve is our cat, Chelsea who is a girl, not that she’s much company at times.
Loved your post. So nice to have run across your blog.
Good Lord Almighty. The fashion gods need to stop digging around in my history because I can’t live through more stirrup pants. I won’t!
Stirrup pants. Ha, ha. My husband bought my skinny jeans and I took them back. It isn’t until I read this post until I realized why I perhaps don’t like them. I do remember the safety pins. Too funny.

oh man. the safety pins around the ankles of mah jeans…i had almost forgotten. time flows like cheap wine, baby.
glad you found nice ones. are you going to tell us what they ARE? so we too can buy them?
Remember jeans that were so tight they had zippers at the cuff? I use to love those.
The most reviled fashion that has been revisited has GOT to be blouses w/ bows on the front. BLERGH. Stirrup pants seem mild in comparison.
I am closing my eyes and pretending that skinny jeans and stirrup pants don’t exist.
Please tell, what brand and style are the most flattering and comfortable jeans?!! Jeans are my daily staple, too.
Okay, here is a link to my new favourite jeans. They fit so well. I love them so much I want to marry them. Or at least make out with them.
Sorry, that was weird. It’s Saturday and my husband has taken the kids and I am giddy.

I forgot to mention – the store I bought them from had a 25% off sale, so great jeans and a good deal! Hooray!
Stirrup jeans are funny. Are big high, hairsprayed bangs on the comeback too? Let me know.
I love the story about the salesgirl comment and Rob’s reaction. You have a way with words.
