Jeans, jeans, jeans

We were off to Troyes today. Well, to the MacArthur Glen shopping village more precisely, as I wanted to try and get a pair of 3/4 leg jeans for the summer. first though we popped into Feuillette for breakfast — it’s such a beautiful little patisserie for breakfast or lunch.

All fed and coffee’d, we set off in earnest on my clothes hunt.

We began in Lee Cooper, a brand I’m very familiar with. The shop, and the changing rooms, were wonderfully empty.

I tried a few pairs, even though they weren’t exactly what I was after, but I just didn’t like the styles, they didn’t do anything for me.

Next stop was Levi’s. That shop was a bit busier, but surprisingly a little uninspiring, so we moved on again. Wrangler’s was close by, but their choice was pretty limited for what I was after. I was starting to feel that maybe I was being too picky, and a little too prescriptive in my choice, when Brian suggested we try G-STAR. It’s not somewhere I really think about, and I don’t know why, because Brian goes there a lot, and I do like the clothes he gets there. With a little resistance from me we went inside. They have a massive store, with a big choice, and it was almost empty. The staff are really helpful, but not overly pushy. I quickly found several pairs to try, and headed for the changing rooms.

Voila ! The first pair I tried were exactly what I wanted.

But then so were the second, third and the fourth! Now what to do?

Loving this pair with my new top.
