That I adore and live in. Medium wash. perfect amount of stretch. Itās so hard for me to find pants that fit and flatter me because i have an 18-inch difference between my hips and my waist!! jeans that should fit my waist I usually canāt get up past my thighs and certainly not further than that. My dog tore a little hole in them while nipping at me and trying to herd me and Iām so mad about it!!!
I have a pair of dark-wash Citizens of Humanity jeans that fit me too but theyāre super low-rise and they make me feel too yassified so I donāt wear them often but they look really good.
Both are thrifted I will forever be too cheap to spend real money on clothes so Iām probably going to buy more Frame jeans from The RealReal soon.
Also Iām sorry but I will never wear straight-legged, wide-legged, or flared pants they look clownish on me. And according to my Kibbe type I should always wear pants that are tight, cuffed, or cinched at the ankle āļøš¤ always loved joggers and Iāve been getting really into paper bag waist pantsā¦ want to buy some kind of silky harem pants soon too š³ this started about jeans and turned into my pants manifesto

material is the most important part for me I hate the paper thin jaded london bershka baggy pants
I like a wider leg as Iām pretty tall and it just looks better on me but I was looking at some Hedi runways and pulled some skinnier ones out the closet just this week, definetly wont go for skintight tho way too uncomfortable
and my jeans have to swallow the shoes a bit, but heeldrag is only allowed on one pair I own
waist is something I like to play around with, usually a bit higher waisted especially cause most jeans are really long but I like to show some skin sometimes and put them a bit lower
and I love jeans that are a bit out there, like yellow, or with crazy stitching, right now Iām looking for some pinkish/lavender ones

They could never make me hate herā¦ I have a .63 waist-to-hip ratio and substantial thighs, but short legs and a long torso like a dachshund. I look insane wearing jeans with any amount of width in the legsādisproportionately wide and/or stumpy! I also hate the way jeans with extra fabric feel like Iām in a leg prison šµāš« iāll wear pants in light flowy fabrics that are tapered or cinched at the ankles though and of course joggers

i am so thankful we killed it dead. i love menās carpenter jeans aka pocket city! i have a pair with 9 pockets and if iām having an active day out theyāre so great. also, wearing a bootcut or bell bottom in high school and middle school was grounds for being burned at the stake but they are SO flattering and will take a casual look up a notch. i also am a sucker for any (well made) patchwork jean. in essence, loose and pockety for the winā¦loose enough to keep you cool in warmer months but thick enough to keep your legs warm in the winter. oh and preferably a lower rise as iām 70% leg and high waists make me feel like that one family guy still (see attached)

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š

Iāve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapidāa critique often rooted in misogynyābut now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretationāpreconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your imageāselfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that thereās another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. Itās refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, Iāve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentionalāsomething that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. Iāve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? Itās a question worth considering.
