[QUOTE=badkittypriestess] London Jeans? or other Vicki jeans?? I lived in the London Jeans Classic ones. 😃 Now they don’t work for me. ☹ [/QUOTE] They changed something along the way. I’m currently doing the ones with the butt-lifting panel. And evidently they do something nice for my butt because a stranger told me I had a nice butt a few weeks back! :eek: (Completely rude and obnoxious, but also one of the best things a 50-year-old woman can hear! I silently basked in that.) ---

[QUOTE=koeeoaddi] The 80s? Pfffft. I was going to tell **Kalhoun** that it still goes well with buffalo sandals, a leotard and a wrap around Indian skirt. [/QUOTE] That look is SO never gonna happen on me! ---

A cute denim jacket is never really “out”, (and in the interest of full disclosure, I actually own [this](http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5739&pid=408852) one, as well as another really cute one I got a few years ago at the Gap), but I find that I don’t actually wear them much. Because no matter what Neiman Marcus says, a denim jacket is never, **never** , \*\*\*NEVER \* \*\* to be worn with jeans, which rules them out for much of my weekend, and they’re too casual for work. ---

I can’t remember the last time I saw a woman wearing a jean jacket. Of course, I’m not exactly living in a fashion hotspot, so make of that what you will. ---
