| Anybody remember those sweet rainbow colored Rockies and Wranglers we drooled over in the 90s? The wilder and louder the better?!
So we've been cleaning out Mama's basement and have found boxes, I mean boxes and boxes of them...what do we do with them??! Is there a "market" for gently used vintage (ugh, I'm old) high waisted jeans with no back pockets?!
There is noooo way I'm wearing them again and I'm almost embaressed to drop them off at goodwill...
Any takers??
PS :: there maybe a box or two of shirts also. Ya know the ones...crazy (hideous) patterns that almost make you queasy if you stare too long...and those super cute and functional capes on the back??
Any one interested in bringing back a fashion trend?? Or maybe relive your glory days?? I will be so happy/relieved to hook ya up! Lol!!

I still have a pair of Rockie's that I saved, just a reminder of how skinny I once was..When I lost weight last year from being so sick I tryed them on, I could never go back to high waisted jeans, they felt horrible. |

Haha! I was just thinking I sure I wish I could fit into those jeans from the late 80's/early 90's. You know the saying I wish I was as skinny as I was when I first thought I was fat. LOL |

| I had to share...hope it made y'all chuckle and fondly recall those glory days!
I held a pair up (no way I even attempted to try them on!) And was baffled. How was my waist so stinking small! The proportions of those jeans is terrifying!! And to think...I thought I sure was hot stuff! Rockin them with my favorite pair of Justin lace ups....man, I was cool!!!
But seriously...someone should really take these off my hands!! |

Loved my Justin lace ups too. Sometimes I think our waists were smaller cause we did wear them every day. |

...which is what you see a lot of with the low-rise jeans as well as shirt tails blooming out.
I think the waisthugging jeans were much more feminine looking......show off the curves. I was willowy with a little waist once. Can't hardly remember that. |

That's because they were high enough to go over the rolls. lol I wish I had the same wasteline I had then. I could wear anything now if I did, but unfortunately I do not. haha |

I never did get the plether jeans! I wanted to, but I thought I would likely sweat to death in them. I decided against it. I kept my dry clean starched and creased too. |

| ah yes, I remember those types.... the ones I can remember are turquoise rockies, forest green, oh and that grape purple pair , bright red wranglers, and ah the acid wash pairs.... oh and those silver lakes that had one half side of the jeans in railroad stripes and the other in light denim haha wow the bareback ones lmao.... no thanks, I love my pockets . Where would I put my iphone. I don't wear bling jeans that are in style now but the low rise is so much more comfortable. I don't care if my muffin top is hanging over anymore. I had a baby so its here for good lol! |

You babies have no idea the greatness you missed. No one needed a bra because our pants did the job, even if you had a big round butt these pants could make it look long and flat, and we were COLORFULLY beautimous. |

     Location: Oklahoma City OK | I've never been one to worry too much about "current style"...I wear what I think I look good in and what is comfortable to me. Plus, I'm also very frugal and I have lived long enough to know that everything recycles and comes back in style...someday. I am holding on to many pairs of Rockies with those thoughts in mind. And if you really compare flattering jeans, most bodies are much more attractive in Rockies than in the low riders being marketed today. I sure hate the "do lap" that hangs over the waist band of low riders...wouldn't happen in Rockies! |

   Location: Arkansas | I still have a couple of pair of Lawman in the top of the closet. Not colored ones though. I never could really wear them, even when I was much thinner because I am really short waisted. I never had that really skinny waist so they never fit right. |

     Location: Windoming | Loved the Lawman jeans too. When the Rockies high-waisted jeans were in style, I said I wouldn't be caught dead in them. Well, when that is all that is available to buy, that is what you buy. I started wearing them and got used to them. Then we go to low risers again. Except these low risers are way lower and most are made out of stretchy material that won't stay up. I hate them. |

| I really dont think those will come back in style. The colors are, but the high waisted I really hope stays in tha past. I do like my jeans that are a little above the "low rise" because I hate bending over to boot up my horse and my husband calling me butt crack jack!! lol
But the pants with no pockets dont help us ladies who dont have enough junk in the truck for sure! |
