Yep, i had a few pairs.
Thing is, those jeans are back in style again....
Thankfully, i wore them the first time around and refuse to do so the second time they are "fashionable".

Thankfully the old cut that those jeans came in aren't back in style. The high waist and tapered legs looked like crap on everyone.

"skinny jeans" are/were in style this past year and are slowing fading out to High waisted "mom jeans" as seen on Misha.
Everything old is new again and FUGLY.
Oh wow.
Can't we learn from past mistakes?? Do we have to revisit every fashion gaffe?
I guess it does have entertainment value ... we can all laugh at her.

Edit: Stone washed simply gives it that slightly warn look so its not a piece of cardboard fabric.
Acid washed is that horrendous looking stuff. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y147/joanne_teo/acid.gif
I'm pretty sure we're talking acid wash ...

Yeah...cause stone-washed jeans aren't exactly a 'blast from the past'. They're just...jeans. They're not as screwed up as the jeans with the faded color above the knee, IMO.

I think of Bon Jovi anytime I see anyone still wearing those. They have to be the very light blue kind though. The dark blue ones are still in style.

Of course I had a pair or more, along with a denim jacket that was probably stone washed too.

I saw an episode of King of Queens recently where Doug had been losing weight and was able to fit into his old jeans, which of course were stone washed jeans. I guess it took a long time to lose that weight. :p
