Today is my birthday...which I share with LisaP...

Happy Birthday Lisa - I hope you have a wonderful day. I remember finding out we shared a birthday which I thought was fun. June 2 is probably a better Northern Hemisphere day for a Birthday than Southern, it has been wet and wintery here.

I have no kitchen, no laundry and have spent the day with the builder, plumber and electrician. We are installing a new kitchen into an old character home so life is chaotic. So I won't share a WIW, it has been casual indeed. We are heading out for a meal tonight but I doubt I will get a pic. I am doing a wardrobe challenge with Laura and others so will photograph most of my outfits this month but I will recreate today's one at a later stage.

So the first time I had to eat my words - I needed some new jeans - and went shopping on Friday in a rush. I ended up returning those jeans, but replaced them yesterday with two pairs the same. Yes an exact duplication which I NEVER do, and have probably bored others with how I never do this. I only liked one pair in the shop and it was one pair for $90 and two for $99 so it seemed a good idea. We will see.

And the second time I have gone back on my previous thoughts. They are high waisted jeans!! Honestly I thought they would look very poor on my short waisted body with hips and thighs, but the comfort, and the lack of muffin top was wonderful. My tummy and butt feel secure and I am sure my butt looks perkier. I won't tuck as they are ankle crop skinnies but they will be great with shorter tees, even boxy ones. I tried on a variety of styles of jeans and several mid rise pairs but high rise worked so much better. I was hoping to find some flares or bootcuts but failed on this occasion.

So yes a birthday hypocrite here!!
