Colored Jeans
 
What are your thoughts on colored jeans? Do you like them or not? I'm debating on buying a purple pair however, I keep thinking they are for my daughters age group. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

:clap2: Mine are blue

I hesitated to buy any too, but ended up buying several and are enjoying them!! I'm sure they won't stay around long though....maybe a couple of seasons then we will be laughed at....LOL

Jeans of any kind are way too hot for me - but I'd definitely go purple.

gomoho 10-19-2013 03:36 PM

If I had the figure I would have jeans in every color they made - except can't wear them here 'cause I agree too hot - even in the winter. But that is probably why I can't wear purple jeans no matter the weather.:boom:

LOVE my purple jeans! Go for it.

My motto has always been........."I can't hide it, so I just decorate it".....with all the colors of the rainbow (my body, that is....: )

ladies-thank you soooo much! I love your spirit! I'm almost convinced. I just don't want to be that lady trying to re- live another time in my life. Anybody out their who wouldn't wear purple jeans? Why?

graciegirl 10-19-2013 05:40 PM

You can do ANYTHING you want. No one can boss you, and you will have a bunch of us cheering you on. Time and purple jeans wait for no one.

pooh 10-19-2013 06:34 PM

Wear and enjoy your purple jeans! You might wear purple slacks, right? Well, jeans are slacks....:D

Have fun....we only go this way once.

I was sitting at Starbucks a couple of weeks ago and a lovely lady walked by dressed just cute with matching everything: shoes, purse etc. Now young people would never do that. I just smiled that I have just moved to a great town that I can be "just me" whatever that is. I can be comfortable with little to no make-up, grey/white hair, too much jiggle in some body places and not enough in others and it doesn't matter. Wear those purple jeans.....and a purple streak in your hair if you like. Its all good !

OK, here's someone who would not wear purple jeans -- not today, not tomorrow and not even yesterday. There's one very simple reason -- I don't like purple. But I'd certainly consider other colors if the style, fit and price were right.

kittygilchrist 10-20-2013 01:43 AM

Stretchy, tight, purple. I like it.

TrudyM 10-20-2013 01:49 AM

I don't like purple either but if you do and it fits with your tops go for it.
The problem I have is that a lot of the colors are fashion jeans and the legs are slimmer at the calf. I bought a pair of teal and they shrank so they no longer fit. I had to cut them off and make shorts. I wear jeans unless its in the high 70's or 80's as I am always cold.
My favorite outfit is a Red jeans jacket and Black jeans. Both my husband and myself love black jeans. I had a pair of camel tan that I wore till they had holes and fell apart. Besides don't the red hat society ladies wear a lot of purple and they all have spunk.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens

But don't go through their trash.

coloured jeans
 
I bought RED Wranglers a couple of years ago, after me red GAP jeans died
:( I love red jeans. I now have a pair of Lime Green jeans and they do brighten up a miserable day, I can tell you :)

I think that one of the perks of getting older is being able to do and wear whatever you like. Rather than question your taste people just assume you've gotten a bit loopy.

I say go for the purple (or any color you want). YOU BE YOU.

LisaJ 10-20-2013 09:19 AM

Thank you so much for your support! I'm going to be up north for the holidays and wasn't sure if they would work. I always remember a friends mother always trying to look like us (we were in high school) and it didn't work. I don't want to be her. I'm trying to dress age appropriate yet classy. Hope that makes sense.

I'm glad I'm not a woman. Way too many things to be concerned about. I wear cargo shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops pretty much every day. If it gets cold enough in the winter, I might have to put on a pair of sneakers and jeans. Sometimes I'll even where a Red Sox or Patriots sweatshirt. But I hate getting all bundled up like that so it has to be really cold.

I wear a Beatlemaniacs of the Villages tee shirt every Friday for the meeting. And on Wednesdays, I wear my OBG Billiards Club shirt while I play in my matches.

Of course if the if the Red Sox makes it into the playoffs, I wear my Red Sox shirt #9 during every game and during football season I wear my Tom Brady Patriots shirt every Sunday except bye week. But after last night, I think I might go a little crazy and wear the Red Sox shirt to watch the Patriots game today.

It sounds complicated, but it's not because there are no real decisions to make. My cargo shorts are all pretty much some kind of beigetankhakineutraltaupe color. I just pull out which ones are on top. Then the rest just depends on what day it is.

I'm not going for the purple jeans.

DougB 10-20-2013 09:28 AM

Go for the purple, they are the exact same thing, only different.

We are all way too young to wear age appropriate clothes. Those are for 100 year olds. Many of us wear colored jeans. This is your time to shine girl! Don't hide that light under a bushel!
