Having finished with one month of
exams and leaving London for the summer it has taken me about a week to get out
of my lazy mood and make inspiration happen instead of waiting for it to hit me
in the head. What is more, I turned 20 on the 13th so I thought it
was about time I actually stuck to the responsible adult label and picked up my
blog writing where I had left it in May. Finishing one year of University has
left me with enough logistical things to worry about so that I could not really
feel like summer was here until now. However, in honour of the warm season I
set out on a quest of finding the perfect pair of white jeans, much like I do
every year – unsuccessfully – until now. I could honestly compare this to
finding a flat or a house to live in seeing as this quest has replaced the one
for white jeans pretty much right after I solved the latter.
I think I got my last pair of
white jeans about 6 years ago as a gift from my mother and I probably haven’t
worn them in 4 out of those 6 years. They were too low-rise, much like the
fashion was back then, and a bit too long for my 164cm height. And all the
others I’ve tried since have had their shortcomings – either the material was
too thin and showed everything or the loose fit was loose in all the wrong places.
And then there were the 7FAMs – way out of my budget – and American Apparels
whose £75
didn’t even nearly account for their useful life of around one year (I like to
wear my jeans and I like to wear them until they fall apart – which would
ideally happen after more than one short year). This is where Uniqlo came in,
about a month ago, providing me with their Ultra Stretch jeans. My love for
this model started back in September when I bought them in a classic dark wash
and later on in black. They fit me just right and even though they are ultra
stretch they do not stretch after too many uses. And, for £30, they are not a very
bad deal at all.
As I am slowly starting to clean
up my wardrobe to make room for a few classic pieces that are to become what I
would like to call personal staples the Uniqlo Ultra Stretch jeans are
definitely a strong contender.
