Rec'd on 😃 Whats an article of Clothing that you reallt love / value and why
lee Straight leg, high waist jeans
Handed down through the family, these were an uncle's jeans (he was super skinny in the 70s), then my cousin brother's jeans, and now they're mine. Ir's the only pair of clothing where I tell myself not to gain too much weight, because I want to fit in them forever lol but someday that day will come... Many appreciative moments with these jeans too, one time a girl at the metro chased after me to ask where I'd got them. They're made so well. Nice and stiff, takes three wears to break in after laundry day.

I love when garments are shared by multiple people in a family. The stories those jeans must know! I feel like you have to lock down your body weight / size to make sure you can wear them until it’s time to hand them off 😂

thisismoy I recently purchased a coat I’d like to keep forever / pass along and it’s a 44” chest and I was planning on slimming down and it hit me…I can never slim down, ever. I’m bound to this chest size. I must remain a 44” until the day I pass off the cost.

40W LEVI 559 JEANS
these are one of my favorite pairs of jeans. if you know me you know i’m almost always in a baggy jean and i’m a denim enthusiast. i’ve gotten multiple of my friends to wear canadian tuxedos. it’s funny that they’re called that since denim is such an american thing to me for some reason.
i‘m wearing them today! i thrifted them at a goodwill probably like 2 years ago now and i had to cut the pants because they were too long (i always have this problem).
40inch jeans may seem crazy to you but i used to have a skater boyfriend in high school that would always wear 40s…so he definitely influenced me in that way. i used to think he was crazy for that because like all skater boys he didn’t have much meat on his bones but now i understand.
the pockets in these are HUGE too if you’re a woman you know how big of a deal that is. my girlies better go get themselves a pair after this!

I came of age in the era of the thin, cheaply made skinny jean
i am so thankful we killed it dead. i love men’s carpenter jeans aka pocket city! i have a pair with 9 pockets and if i’m having an active day out they’re so great. also, wearing a bootcut or bell bottom in high school and middle school was grounds for being burned at the stake but they are SO flattering and will take a casual look up a notch. i also am a sucker for any (well made) patchwork jean. in essence, loose and pockety for the win…loose enough to keep you cool in warmer months but thick enough to keep your legs warm in the winter. oh and preferably a lower rise as i’m 70% leg and high waists make me feel like that one family guy still (see attached)

aging
it's totally cool to age and society still isn't equipped to deal with that.

calling it a day
Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.

The great Indian cheese toastie
This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
