Reincarnation (how to wear boyfriend jeans)

Remember in the early 2000's when douche bags people were getting REAL creative with the way they expressed themselves via the pockets of their jeans? Embroidery! Octagonal shapes! Bright colored stitching! The possibilities were endless (and horrifying) on the denim-covered booty horizon. It's one of those fashion moments that just tickles me to death.

Well, on my most recent treasure hunt at Goodwill, I stumbled upon these bad boys. I had been toying with the idea of adding some "boyfriend" jeans to my denim repertoire, and I dug the wash of these so I gave them a try-on. It wasn't until I put them on myself and looked at my reflection that I realized

these are totally early 2000's douche jeans.....AND I LOVE THEM.

The back pockets are large and in charge, the front pockets have normal side placement, but they sprawl almost all the way to the zipper, and the two front belt loops are so close together I can't buckle a belt without lapping over one of them. Let's not forget the diagonal side stitching.

They might not be full-on-balls-out-douche, but you know a dude jammed HARD to some Nickelback in these.

Conveniently enough, the ONLY photo that gives you a glimpse of the mammoth back pockets on these relics is one in which I was being a total douche:

BLAM-O!

OOOHhhhhhh yeah, get a load of the oddly shaped mini pocket!

Goodness, I know I'm being judgey and pretentious, but seriously....the douche-ness of these jeans is the reason I love these jeans. Fashion is fascinating. The fact that a judgmental 20-something girl is able to transform the life of these jeans from a trend in fashion that makes said girl want to puke a lil' bit in her mouth into a personal style blog post is MARVELOUS AND MAGICAL. Furthermore, in typing this I'm realizing how particularly descriptive the word "douche" is. There is really no other verbiage I could use to describe the style I'm visualizing.

Well, see ya later, I'd type more, but I'm about to fist pump with one hand and do a Jager bomb with the other!!!
