Dream jeans
My body continues to change post-childbirth. I'm now about 5 pounds lighter than I was pre-pregnancy and my juicy-fruit butt is a little (I stress little) less juicy, so all of my pants are falling off me. I'm constantly tugging at the waistline to pull them back up, and I can actually slide off several pairs while they're still zipped and buttoned. The bagginess in the bottom creates the illusion of Negative Ass.
I went to Clodhoppers this week to try on some "premium denim" to see if Rock and Republic, Paper, Denim, and Cloth, Adriano Goldschmied, Seven for All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, and other very expensive jeans are worth the price. At first, it seems outrageous to pay $150 and up for a pair of jeans. Here's my case:
1. I wear jeans almost every day. If you average the cost of the number of times wearing them, they're relatively inexpensive!
2. It is very difficult to find jeans that fit well. I'm 5'5", maybe 5'6", 115 pounds, have a little waist, aforementioned juicy booty that continues down the thigh, then tapers to bony chicken legs that go down to long ski-like feet. The Boy-Cut, Skinny Leg, tapered, etc. jeans fit everywhere but the seat and thighs. Most jeans that leave room enough for my butt leave a huge gap at the waist that allows one to see parts that shouldn't be seen publicly. Low-rise jeans show crack in the back. High-waisted jeans are unflattering, chopping off your waist and often drawing unflattering emphasis to the butt. And, because I'm not 5'9", most jeans drag the floor and get caught under my heels, effectively mopping the floor or street and fraying at the cuffs after one wear.
3. Aside from a couple of t-shirts, I haven't bought any new clothes for myself in a long time.
Seven jeans fit better than any jeans I've ever had. The boot-cut ones I bought are the perfect length for me and feature a low-rise waist that sits an inch or two higher in the back. The stretchy denim fits me snugly, and there is no telltale gap. So, yes, I bought them without a second thought.
