Skinny Jeans in my 40s?

I confess, I bought a pair of skinny jeans at The Gap last week.  Okay, actually I bought two pairs of skinny jeans – one called “legging jeans” and the other called “real straight jeans.”  Its official, I’ve entered a female mid life crisis.  The really interesting thing will be to see if I ever actually wear them anywhere besides my closet.  I don’t even know what to wear them with!  Question: how pathetic is it for a mature woman of 44 years to require wardrobe coaching from her 17 year old cousin so she knows how to wear her new jeans?
