How many jeans?

  • How many jeans?

    I need some peer pressure here. How many pairs of jeans to you own right now that fit and you wear on a weekly basis?

    I've dropped some weight and feel strange about 1) donating nearly all my clothes and 2) wrapping my brain around a new jean size. I'm down to one pair of pants. That's not enough is it?

    Two pair of identical Gap jeans. One really one, one fairly new. I wear them constantly. I have come to really resent the heck out of court days, when I have to look like a real, grown-up attorney.

      I'm in the same boat. One pair I love and the rest are all a little too big.

        I have too many. There's the skinny for the tall boots, there's the trouser, there's the high heeled one, there's the black, there's the white BUT really I mostly wear two. Like GMW said...one is old that I wear when I don't care that gets on them and one is newer that I wear when I want to look presentable. However, I mostly wear suits so I don't get a lot of jean time. IF they are something you can wear daily, I'd say you might need 3.

          I have 2 pairs that fit, 1 that is just a little too big, 1 that's a little small, and the rest are way too big. And I need to donate them.

          I have other pants that I can wear when I'm not in jeans which is rare. I stick to the mom uniform- jeans, Tshirt, and a hoodie. Lol.

            I have two pairs: both need a belt, and one is more high-waisted than I care for, but they both work.

            Also, what a GREAT problem to have! I'm so proud of you, moonlight! Way to go on your health and fitness goals.

              Two that fit. Everything else is too big or too small. Nice.

                I have 3, and I don't wear jeans every day. That's the result of having a pretty consistent size for a REALLY long time now.

                  I have 1 pair that are so comfy, but a little too big. I wear yoga pants or Old Navy khakis (I have 2 pairs) when I'm not leaving the house.

                  I actually own a ton of pants - but since most of my time is spent sitting, nursing (usually lotus position), I go for comfort and flexibility (and booty-coverage!)

                    I have two pairs, and it feels extravagant. Before I got pregnant, I only had one pair, and I only had one pair of maternity pants. But I think you should totally buy a new pair - what a great way to reward yourself for doing such a great job!

                      I have a lot, none of them REALLY fit, but I refuse to go shopping so I just keep wearing them!

                        Three that fit well (one dark wash (regular work days), one lighter wash, one dressy pair for work), two that are too small (goal pants- almost there), one that is as comfortable as a pair of sweatpants but are hanging on by a thread- those are dogwalking jeans, and I donated all of the others.

                          I'm a denim junkie. I have at least 7 pairs that I love. Sadly, they don't get much use thanks to my crazy work schedule.

                            3 pairs and 1 pair of chords. I wear jeans almost every day. I'm not sure how well they fit because it seems like I keep hiking them up but I wouldn't be able to fit into a size smaller. Perhaps it's all the squatting and crawling around I do with the babies.

                              3 that fit currently -- one black pair that I practically live in (wear to work all the time), one lighter wash, and one comfy medium wash that I've had forever and make my ass look like I'm smuggling two watermelons in my pants. Those don't get worn outside the house... usually...

                              I have 3 in a size down that I'm trying to work my way back into for the summer -- one black pair, one dark wash that can be dressed up, and one sort of medium wash/more casual pair.
