Gifting Jeans...

So the holidays are rapidly approaching and the anxiety of gift giving has arrived!  To gift or not to gift denim?  My suggestion, only gift denim to close friends and family that aren't easily offended.  There's way too many people out there sensitive about their size (myself included at times).  So if you know the person's exact size then by all means...if not, skip the denim gift and maybe clothing gifts all together.

If you are going to give the glorious gift of denim, here are some suggestions:
1.  Purchase them from a store/website with a lenient return policy.
2.  Provide a gift receipt.
3.  DO NOT be offended if the recipient doesn't like your gift...remember, you're most likely just as picky about your denim.  Denim is very personal!
4.  When in doubt, size down.

Happy Holiday Shopping!

And so it begins...

Well, hello worldwide web. I've been dabbling in starting my own denim how-to blog for quite some time now. I think I have finally built the courage and know-how to begin!

What your going to find on Our Blue Genes is basically just that! I'll be keeping you up-to date on all the current denim trends, up and coming denim designers, celebrities in denim, and most importantly how I style myself in denim.

I've always had a hard time looking at celebrities and models in denim and trying to figure out how it would look on me...and I'm sure I'm not the only woman out there that feels this way! I would find jeans I like on a website then proceed to google them and try and find different models wearing them to get a better idea of how they fit on different body sizes and shapes. What I came across was the SAME EXACT model body type for every photo! I thought, well this isn't helping. There needs to be something out there where REAL women can go and see how jeans look on REAL women. How REAL women wear their jeans.

For starters, I know that all the women out there don't have the same body that I do...BUT as I progress down this blogging road I hope to eventually style and post other women. So for now, follow me along this blogging journey and let's see where it takes us!

P.S. I'm also going to try and provide links to purchase the jeans (and sometimes other items in my outfits and found on celebrities) I discuss and show.  Of course there will be an added bonus if I can find discount/promo codes to share...
