NSV - Skinny jeans!!!

I've never worn anything that has the word 'skinny' in it...
Went to Gap today to browse and saw the 'skinny jeans' shelves...The last time I attempted to try on a pair of skinny jeans, my calves were tightly wrapped and almost felt like someone was slowing breaking them off and I couldn't even put it past my butt...
Today, I tried a pair of 30/30 (waist/length, I think...) and....dum dum dum...drum roll please...I actually pulled them up AND buttoned them AND it was slightly too loose! Then I did the 'denim' tests, you know, where you walk up and down in half squats, then you really squat down hoping the seams won't break and lastly you do the sit down test and see if you can still put more than just a skittle in your stomach and the buttons won't pop...
I passed with flying colors! Then I was ambitious and thought I'm gonna try the one size down! You know, cuz 30/30 was 'too loose'. Haha, unfortunately, just a bit too tight. I could pull them up and didn't pass any of the above tests so fail! Well, not fail, I'd give myself a C-.
Still happy though, 3 months ago I couldn't even pull up my big jeans past my 'curvaceous' bottom! So yes, totally a good NSV!
