A friend of mine said this to me once and I cannot count how many times I have repeated it - ESPECIALLY when a pushy salesperson is hovering. This is my mantra when I'm trying on clothes - and find myself turning this way and that to see if I can make it work....

"If it's not a * Hell Yes! * then it's a * Hell No! *

I’m going to use your metaphor. I can think of several other purposes for “If you don’t like the jeans, don’t hem them.” Re #4. Thank you for sharing.

I am a plain Jane (literally, my name is Jane) and find that a fashion baseline of simple is always satisfying.

I love it when my favorite happiness expert (though my Dad may be a bigger super-fan) and my favorite clothing company collaborate.

100% agree with #4. Why hem pants you don’t like? Unless the length is the only thing I don’t like, I don’t buy them in the first place!
