See, I've thought that since the 80s I'd never go back to anything that could even have the possibility of appearing to be tapered. And especially when they started making a comeback I adamantly REFUSED to even consider the possibility that these might be "in fashion." All I remember are the 80s wash ankle-length pant that could be worn with slouched alternating color socks. But when the skinny pant started coming back in the 2000s...I realized that they weren't the same. The pants i bought go well below my ankle, onto my foot. So really, one can hardly say that they're tapered jeans. Also, they're a great wash. And the advantage of a little bit "straighter" leg is that if you're wearing a longer top, you don't look like a balloon or a big bubble that is the same size all the way down!
Hmmm, i'm feeling slightly better. The best part though....they were only $20!!! Any consolations for me?? Anyone?

I love it, Jane!! Especially the ending . . . confessions of a tapered jeans wearer. Very clever! These are cute jeans . . . and a good wash as well! Don't you love anything that helps you feel cute? Enjoy them!
i think that those would be cute on you and I wouldn't have pegged them as tapered! go you!
The other day I decided I might need to buy some larger size jeans to wear after I had this baby. So I was searching the clearance rack at the Gap. And here I am weighing 170 and 9 months pregnant and the shop girl recommended that I try the Long and Lean style. I assured her that those were not the fit for me. And then I opted for completely straight leg trouser jeans that look really comfy. I really can't see myself going for the tapered look again but I think you could pull it off Janey. Maybe I should teach Hannah how to peg her pants and layer her socks. I bet she'd think I was soo cool. :)
At first, "dork" came to mind...but then I realized that our dorkiness level is quite similar. Second, I think those jeans would look great on you, and if you like them then that's what counts! And it's hard to beat $20 for a good pair of jeans...Wait, you're in Arizona now, aren't you??
I think they are hot! Plus, this way they can tuck easily into a pair of boots, which is a very good look. You stylish woman!
i bet you look HOT ... wear them on wed!
I think you can pull it off too. I have seen people wear pants like this and they look cute.
