I'm still not actually sure what the whole concept of a 'girlfriend' jean is, but when they landed in Topshop a while back I duly trotted along to the changing room clutching a pair and gave them a whirl. Firstly I tried to squish myself into a pair of Size 26s. With a 30 leg. That was top comedy for a start-off. Mostly coz I couldn't get them done up. There is a zero-stretch situation going on here (unlike Jamies and Leighs in which I normally take a 25). Ok, deep breaths, 'you're not actually fat' I told myself (funny how I looked in the mirror and saw Pinocchio staring back at me); as I went for Round 2 with a Size 28. They also had a 30 leg and similarly looked ridick. I thought 'fuck this for a game of soldiers' and wandered off for a Diet Coke and a quick cry. But last week I spied on Toppers website that a new jean style had dropped, namely, the Lucas. I thought they looked priddy damned hot, so I went for another trying-on sesh. Now the Lucas is billed as a 'slim boyfriend' (thanks, I'll take two), but whaddya know- on me they are, basically, skinny. Nice jean an' that, but you've deffo gotta be a lean bitch to get the requisite 'bag'. But, I also took into the changing room with me another girlfriend jean, this time in a 'black wash' finish, Size 28 with a 32 leg. And...we have a winner. I realllly like them. I get them! I'm super-happy! And hopefully now I can stop lusting after some Acne Pop Boyfriends. Long boring story over, catch you soon :) x
