I miss the blue jeans. The big wide bell bottoms denim jeans were the most flattering pants I ever wore. They made my legs look longer and my hips narrower. Of course, I was also 50 years younger, so that may have had something to do with it too ... but still, I miss them. … Continue reading BELL BOTTOMS BLUES – Marilyn Armstrong
