Jean Shopping

Everyone tells me jeans are comfortable. Until this past weekend I had one pair... and hated them. It would be a rare blue moon when you would see me in a pair because I just never could find the right pair. Being a curvy girl with long legs- the perfect pair had always been illusive.

My girlfriend Janeen wears them all the time. She always looks cute and comfortable! So- I went to her with my problem. She was confident we would find the right pair.

We started at Macey's searching the Levi bold and curvy line in the junior section. My curvy hairstylist had been wearing a pair that looked amazing and I thought- maybe they were the ones.

I immediately freaked out because there were numbers and words like 32, 21, inseam, regular. O.M.G! What is this all about!?! I started to freak out and called for a sales associate. She tried her best to find a single pair of tall curvy jeans in my size- but couldn't. She gave me a size smaller and size bigger. I couldn't get them past my hips or I did and it created the dreaded "muffin top"! AND I DON'T HAVE A MUFFIN TOP! It's a small baby pooch... thank you very much!

I left disappointed. Then we went to Express. Janeen said we would find the pair there. I asked the associate for curvy, tall and in my size. They only had tall in low rise. WHAT THE HECK! Do you not make jeans for girls with hips? I tried all of the talls she had- and they fell too low below the hips. I'm not about sticking out. Then just as I was about to give up- she said- "Well, we do have high waist jeans."

What could it hurt. Let's try them. My girlfriend freaked. NO MOM JEANS! But I put them on- and.... FELL IN LOVE! They were comfortable, stretchy, skinny jeans that made me feel like I looked good in them. I don't think Janeen was as sold on them as I was... but she knew I needed to feel good in them or they would stay on the shelf.

I loved them. They were buy 1 get 1 50% off... ANNNND I had a $30 coupon. Two pairs of jeans for $100. Pricey- but worth how I feel in them. So now- I actually own 2 pairs of jeans! It took years but finally I had them thanks to my friend helping me out!

Do you like jeans? Have you had a hard time finding the right ones? Tell me about your experiences in jean shopping.
