Goddess glitter jeans

Categorized in:

I am twenty-three years old, and I have not outgrown my love for glitter. Granted, I no longer buy glittering stationery or do art projects using loads of glitter (though when my three year old daughter gets a little older I’m sure that will change!), but I am still attracted to glitter, and I have glitter containing products. I have a few glitter gel pens. I have some glitter nail polish. I have glitter eyeliner, glitter mascara, glittery lip gloss and lip stick, glittery eyeshadow, loose glitter (white, pink, lilac), and glitter in gel form. (Thankfully for you and the eyesight of myself and everyone around me, I do not wear all of those glitter products at once! I use glitter sparingly.) Right now I am wearing a pink cable knit sweater that glitters, thanks to it being shot through with metallic pink threads.

So when my mom called me and told me that K-Mart had an awesome pair of VERY sparkly (her words) Goddess brand jeans, I decided to run on over and check them out, seeing as I had my eye on a pair of $53 glitter jeans online, and would be more than happy to have the same type of pants for less than half the price ($25, but with the sale I paid $19).

Four weeks later, and I’m kind of bummed. I have a great pair of jeans – they fit nicely, and have just enough “stretch” material to them to fit snugly in the right places, as well as be comfortable all month long, regardless of water retention and period related bloating and all that jazz. However, ALL of the glitter fell off within one week of purchasing them. This is after they were washed once – inside out, on a cold, gentle cycle, as the tag suggested. I even skipped the dryer and laid the jeans flat to dry.

So there you have it. I am once again without glittery pants. :( Perhaps I should splurge and get those $53 jeans. With all of the technology available these days, you would think a company would figure out how to keep glitter on pants! In fact, I know that there are ways to keep glitter on pants. A pair of my daughter’s jeans – Gap jeans – comes to mind. We purchased them secondhand from a consignment shop last winter, and they had glitter on them then. Nearly a year later, after many wearings, washes and cycles in the dryer, ALL of the glitter is still intact! Perhaps Goddess should take lessons from Gap?

I know they aren’t glitter, but I’ve seen metalic jeans out in stores! You might want to give them a try to fulfill your need for shine and sparkle! :D
