I just came back from town. I forced Rickard and Maja (who didn't need to be forced really) to come along when I went jeans-shopping. So, I have now bought my first jeans for at least ten years and the tightest since the 80s. Mind you, then you couldn't get jeans with any stretch in Sweden. These have 3% elasthane, which makes them much more comfortable. I doubt I would have been able to fit my calves in them otherwise. You can also see my new shoes:

HEE! You are just the cutest thing EVER. :)

(And I covet your shoes. Seriously.)

Thanks! And those shoes were just too fun not to buy. I think I'll wear them for my first class this year. I was told durign my teacher's education that one should try to dress up a little for teaching so that the students would have something nice to look at. Of course, she was thinking of old-lady trousers and knit twinsets.

*lol* I see absolutely nothing wrong with dressing up the classroom with funky shoes. If anything, it'll give you icebreakers with the students, and you'll be "that cool professor"! ;)

In an effort to feel more like myself while dressed up in front of the class, I always wore interesting goth accessories with my pinstripes or button-downs. Made me feel more comfortable, and I think it amused my students, too. :)

Since I tend to go through phases in my dressing, for instance two years ago I had a victorian period with long wide skirts, blouses and combs stuck in a braided bun at the back of myhead. And I don't mean gothic victorian, but real. The skirts weren't long and wide enogh of course, but the blouses were made after period examples. This spring I was surprisingly enough inspired by contemporary fashion and right now I'm influenced by the fifties. So I guess they think I'm schizofrenic.

Weird. I've heard you speak about your disproportionately tall torso before, but I've never actually *seen* it... that first image shows it pretty clearly.

Cool jeans, though.

Of course the red top makes the torso stand out and my waist actually is about in the middle of the top, but yes, it is long.

Wow, you look hot! :)

I wish my crappy feet would allow me to actually wear all the nice-looking shoes I come across, but sadly, that super-power is not mine. And that, unfortunately, includes period shoes. :\

That really is a pity. Period shoes aren't that nice to my feet either, but at least I can wear them.

Lookin good!

I love my stretch jeans too. ;-)

hot mama!

Are you sure that you are not growing younger? You look about 18.

Damn you slim-hipped women and your ability to wear jeans... Nah, I don't really miss them. You look great!

Slim-hipped? They measure 113 cm!
And the difference betwen waist and hips is 27 cm. But these are very low cut, so the relationship between hips and waist isn't really significant. They go extremely low on me, with my long torso, so I can't wear them with a t-shirt tucked in or anything, I have to wear something over them.
I would have preferred a high waist, but I couldn't find any. The ones I found were too loose in the leg and had boot cut.

I still think they look sort of - not wide. I mean the side-to-side measurement. Or maybe it's just that you have the right shape of hips - not the kind that is widest at the bottom (like I have). I mean the right shape for most jeans-wearing, not that there is a right and a wrong hip shape in general.

It's how I pose too, if it had been totally en face I would have looked much broader in the hips.
