I'm with y'all. Is it just a southern thing?
It's 54 degrees here today, which is chilly to me, but I'm in a pair of chinos, which I find far more comfortable than jeans. I think I only own one pair of jeans now, and they aren't even blue, they're light tan. And they're boys' jeans, which are a heck of a lot more comfortable than womens'.
I love jeans. I live in jeans. Long jeans in the winter, denim shorts during warm weather. Long jean skirts, short jean skirts, denim jumpers.
I know how to dress for the occasion, though, and speak only of my day to day attire, not events.
