Damn, I must really be easy on my jeans because I feel like these jeans don't fade at all. Been wearing them ~5 days a week since the comp started and I can barely see anything lightening up.

That was exactly the point of my question here the other day. Why do my jeans—even though I usually rotate several pairs—stay looking like new for many months, while someone else’s start wearing out literally the next day? Not that I’m worried about it—quite the opposite, actually. I like that my rare and rather expensive (for my budget) pieces last a long time. I’m just curious. My guess is that I usually wear jeans for only a few hours a day when I go out for walks/errands (several hours daily) and change into something more comfortable as soon as I get home.

For a fair contest, we should really all be tracking our wear on a quarter-hour basis

Meanwhile, the season’s wildflowers are starting to really take off up in the hills, with trillium making the first strong appearance as always

Doing slides on the playground helps with back pocket evolution

We took our daughter out to the local wildflower center near our house yesterday, hard to believe she's already 3 months old.
I've had a hard time documenting much lately, but I'm working on it!

Before and after one of our pups got a (long overdue) haircut.


Keeping watching during playtime.

I've got a bunch of fancy sneakers but somehow I always end up back in these ones from Catchball.


Seen a guy at one of our local coffee shops wearing some wide FH's and Paraboots.

Oh, so you’re sliding down now? How many times a day? The picture is starting to come together. Though, if we’re being honest, Tilmann, I’m starting to think you should be disqualified from the contest! 🤣

Seems like this is cheating no?

My fellow WOMJ contestants inspired me to give mine a wash...

[CSL]

Haha! ^^^ That's great. Glad to see the people making these things have a sense of humor. (Re the slide).

Knee fades, slide wear, stains from spilled food and exploding nappies... what's not to love?
