I didn't think much of it at the time, but these jeans have some serious memories attached to them!
They're Hollister jeans. Pretty sure I got them my freshman year of high school. They were the first pair of "brand name" jeans I had, you know - the big step up from LEI and Mudd jeans.
They didn't always look this ragged. All through high school they were my favorite jeans. It wasn't until college, and all those art classes that they began to develop a personality.
Every hole and paint splatter was my own doing. I practically lived in these jeans from November to January of last year. Everyday I'd get home from work, strip out of my dress clothes, throw on leggings and then pull these jeans on (hence why nearly all my leggings have strategic splotches of paint on the knee) and work on my house.
There's a little bit of every room in my house on these jeans. A little bit of my lawn, a little bit of my basement and a little bit of others homes.
They might not look very pretty, but they make me smile. Cause every time I look down at em I think of all the things that were made pretty while in these jeans!

I love that you are sentimental about jeans. I'm not sentimental about a lot of clothes, but there are some that hold a special place in my heart, surprisingly none are jeans.
P.S. Just realized how behind I am on your blog; prepare for lots of comments.

Keep your head up lady. You'll find the right one. :) and you had to follow your heart. It's the only way you'll find what you're looking for.
LOVE YOU!
Lady, LOVE that you posted this! I have a pair of jeans exactly like that - holes and paint splatters from every project I have done for the past 7 years. I could never ever get rid of them.
And so yes, I will pack those jeans when you, Lace and I play for a weekend - now you have to decide on something crafty for us to do ;)
xoxo!
