WIWW - discussing jeans - and a SUPER giveaway!!

Anyways, here's a Flower Box Top. I bought from them when everything on sale was 50% off (after Christmas) so it was $15.  I love it - I think it's a little out of my comfort zone with the embellishment, but not too crazy.  (And I might venture to say it does the impossible task of making me look a bit voluptuous - humor me people...)
I wore it for dinner out with Trevor - dressed up, but not all out - perfect. 

I wore those garage-sale trouser jeans and look what I found in my closet - fashionable (right!?) flats - I had bought them a few years ago for a Christmas party (sale, $5, JC Penney?) and hardly ever wear them because I never thought they were daily-wear-with-jeans type of shoes - but I'm embracing it.  And no socks - you should be proud.

And here we are back home, ready to watch never-ending past episodes of The Office - we're party animals.  Love when the kids invite themselves to spend the night with their Grandparents! (And no, my head isn't double the size of his - I'm holding the camera and hence my head is closer to it - oh, and he's always making weird faces in pictures I insist on taking -  )

And so I learned - jeans are supposed to fit snug.  Did you know that?? I didn't.  So here's both pair (bigger pair on the left, smaller on the right) - in the end, I was worried about the waist fitting too tight on the smaller pair - but it didn't.  What did happen was with the smaller pair, the legs/thighs fit a lot better. (Ignore the length on the big pair - I was going to hem them.)

After being washed and dried (yes, I dry everything, jeans included) - picture from one of my kids - I didn't really notice a size difference after washing:

Now, I need to discuss jean length - any opinions??  The pair I have is a little long, but I don't want to hem them, because what if I wear shoes with a heel/wedge - then they need to be long.  But when I wear flats, they're a tad too long - what do you do? Do you have a long pair and a short pair of the same jeans??
