It's All About the Fit (Boys and Jeans)

About a week and a half ago, I decided that I could use another pair of jeans. Jean shopping isn't always a pleasant task for me, but I went. I had in my mind a kind of style I wanted. So I go to Old Navy and decide to try on a plethora of jeans. I wasn't sure what size I was, what length to get, what style was good for me. I just went jean crazy. Some that I had tried on were too big, too long, too short, too small, or just weren't the right color I was looking for. There were some that I tried on that were great in many aspects, but there were a couple things I disliked. I thought to myself, "No matter how much I like the way the jeans look on the shelf or on the rack, it's about the jeans fitting me, not me fitting the jeans." And then, in a moment of sheer brilliance, I realized "Hm...that can actually be applied to boys."

Sometimes when you see something you like and you try it on, it doesn't fit. It just doesn't work. And that's okay. You find another pair that do work. You don't change to fit the pair that doesn't work, you find something that fits you.

So in every girl's wardrobe, there's always that one pair of jeans they have that make them the happiest. They're the favorite. They're comfortable and the make her look good! It's almost like they were made for her because it's all about the fit!

I hope you understand my analogy. And just so you know, I did walk out with a great pair of jeans that day. They were just what I was looking for. As for the boy that fits, he didn't show up that day. That's okay for now though. :)
