Have you given your skinny jeans up yet, because I sure haven’t. It’s a good thing I wear my denim until they literally wear out, often 10+ years. The conversation came back to my attention after watching this viral Instagram Reel from blogger Cassie Scroggins. I was appalled by the comments. Many woman took her reel as a personal attack on their fashion choices. Who knew this was such a heated topic? I am looking forward to following…
