Jean Shopping.....
Friday, October 14, 2011
the need for a new pair of jeans has been a big need for a while now....I needed them last Winter and put it off - and then the warm weather came - so out came the shorts....so I put it off more.....now it is chillly again - and I only have 1 pair of jeans, and a 2nd pair is in order.....of course I would have been happy avoiding the situation.....but.....hubster got us invited to a "Trivia Night" with a bunch of friends, at a local pub....so ..... I want to look cute, and not over dressed, so new pair of non faded worn out jeans is in order......
Jeans shopping was on the calendar today.....I went to 4 stores.....Kohl's, Coldwater Creek, American Eagle and Ann Taylor Loft (they are all in the same plaza).....I spent 2 1/2 hours trying on jeans, and there was not one pair of jeans that fit me correctly.....
If they fit in the thighs and behind, then the waist was about 6" too big....if the waist fit - then they looked like they were painted on my thighs and behind....and lets not forget that at 5'4" most of them are so long I would need 6" heels to make them not drag on the floor....
At my heaviest I had the same problem......except the size numbers were 16, 18 and 20......now 10,12,14......it is the same.....all of my khaki pants are 10's, and they fit great.....my old work pants are 10's....fit great....why can't I find a pair of jeans?????
Jeans ---- they are made for people who are not shaped like me......
Does anyone else have this problem.....
