Out with the Old

I went a little bit crazy at Madewell with a birthday giftcard and bought three pairs of jeans. It's so nice to work at a "jeans and boots" kind of company... especially coming from a place where I was told to stop wearing my hair in a ponytail, it made me look too young. Who ever said looking too young was a bad thing? 
A newspaper. 
Get it?
Following protocol I need to replace my new thingies with old thingies and my purchases gave me a much needed excuse to try on all of my jeans. Fashion show! Or sweaty hot mess trying to coax old jeans to fit. 
I will be someone who wears elastic waist pants. 
Before....

 And after.... Blurry on purpose to prevent Paul from counting just how many pairs of pants I own.
