(Worn in April before the May debacle)
I cannot stand shopping for jeans.
When I think of a torturous shopping experience, buying jeans or a swimsuit come in at a close tie.
Since finding a jean that fits just right is so difficult I only actually own two pair.
This particular pair pictured was one of those two.
Notice I say "was".
Yep, they have died and gone to jean recycling.
I was slightly devastated when my brother oh so casually asked me if my jeans were ripped.
I told him, with a protective "No", that they were of course not ripped and than I felt my hands even more protectively feel the back of them.
To my horror, I realized that he had been rather kind in his question because they were not just ripped but the entire seam had disappeared!
Ugh!
Second ugh, how in the heck did I not notice this before walking all over town in them!
Pure humiliation at it's best.
Any suggestions on how to make this shopping trip a little less of a horror story?
All points and tips would be greatly appreciated.
I don't mind spending a little more for jeans, but I do live on a budget so I don't want to spend a crazy sum of money on a pair of jeans.
The exception would be if they have some kind of magical power attached to them that will grant me model-esque qualities than by all means I will shell out the cash in a heart beat.
Who couldn't take an Emperor's New Clothes moment again in their life? LOL!

jeans are definitely the toughest to shop for. I sell the brand Level 99 really well..has a higher rise but is still modern and contemporary looking..hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteLove that beautiful chanel looking blazer!

I would have been mortified. Is it possible that your brother pointed this out to you right after it happened? I agree that finding a good pair of jeans can be a struggle. I like to buy men's jeans...as I get a good length and they are sturdy, but I hear good things about Madewell and 7 for all mankind jeans.
ReplyDeleteI give a third "UGH" for you! I hate jean shopping. One thing that's been nice about thrifting is being able to try a MULTITUDE of brand names...now that I've found the brand that fits me the best, I stick with them. I know for certain that Gap jeans do not fit me AT ALL so I totally avoid the brand. So far, I've found that Limited jeans are the best for me. They are higher rise or something? I don't know. I just stick with what I know works and go with it! If I'm unsure of the brand, I look at the wash of the jean- if it's a dark wash without the whiskering then I'm willing to give it a try. I've learned that light wash and heavy whiskering do tragic things to my legs :)
ReplyDeleteJ'adore the jacket! I've actually found some pretty fab jeans at Gap the past couple of years!
