Yes, Mom, I did write a blog post about this. Because this is very important... It is, honestly.
I think the biggest reason why I have so many is because if I find a pair of jeans that fit nicely in bum and length I automatically buy them (being short with not so skinny legs means if I find a pair that don't scrunch up completely at the bottom is a godsend), as long as they aren't crazily priced though. Then there's also the jeans that are usually over priced but are on sale... These, in my opinion are the worst because lets face it, you know they fit, you know they don't wear and tear easily but most importantly they're fifteen pounds down from fifty and that is the hardest thing to resist.
Another problem I find with jeans is that there are so many colours. Acid wash is not the same as just plain old light wash and then if they're ripped then they count as completely different as well. Not only this but I need a blue pair, black pair, floral pair. There's pink, blue, red jeans and then there's jeggings...
Obviously, I know I don't actually need more than two or three pairs but you try telling me that when I spot a slightly different pair in a shop. These ones are made with a stretchy material! This pair are ankle grazers totally different to my other pair! The excuses are endless and sometimes I think I need hypnosis, whenever I go shopping my first thought is 'I need a new pair of jeans' and my mum'll be like 'No, Hollie. You really don't.'
I guess, everyone has their fetishes, I don't over indulge in shoes (not include my countless pairs of converse), bags or necklaces. It's the jeans that get me...
