My best pair of jeans fit only until I washed them in cold water and then PUT THEM IN THE DRYER. guess I learned the hard way what someone said way early in this post. The spandex and denim stuff means NO DRYERS! will have to wait a long time to find another pair but am sticking with the same brand, just in case. I have also now figured out why some jeans seem to fit but after a while are too short..... they shrunk in the dryer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-50850212308440606492009-11-02T04:54:49.816-08:002009-11-02T04:54:49.816-08:00I like this post!!im really picky when im out jean...I like this post!!im really picky when im out jean shoppingLuxury tieshttp://www.duchamplondon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-46476613350363821422009-11-01T15:54:01.102-08:002009-11-01T15:54:01.102-08:00The best place to find designer jeans for super ch...The best place to find designer jeans for super cheap (like $18) are thrift stores like Crossroads Trading Company.Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984050970208363927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-74539646027007761512009-11-01T06:07:29.345-08:002009-11-01T06:07:29.345-08:00Definitely set aside some time for jeans shopping-...Definitely set aside some time for jeans shopping- it doesn't usually work with a quick trip to the mall.

Look for ones with eye-catching/classic patterns!<br /><br />2) If you're unsure whether or not the waist will fit, button and zip up the jeans, then take the ends of the waistband and see if you can wrap it around your neck. If not, go up a size!<br /><br />3) Sit down in the jeans, bend over, and make sure your butt isn't falling out.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953432947191022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-15355156784813283522009-10-30T12:58:14.030-07:002009-10-30T12:58:14.030-07:00Set aside a day for jean shopping [I used to think...Set aside a day for jean shopping [I used to think it'd take me only an hour and would go between classes- then couple hours fly by and I'm late!]<br /><br />Wear a pair of comfortable shoes that you wear often with jeans<br /><br />Bring an honest friend with similar tastes to you <br /><br />Keep a little notepad to mark down your sizes in which brands, as well as the price<br /><br />Find a happy medium between size and price [mine is Streetwear Society- if you're curvy in the hips and have a small waist, these fit perfectly.

They usually have good name brand jeans that are just a little bit out of season, they have a HUGE selection, and they're so cheap that I can afford 3 or 4 pairs for the price of 1 at their original stores. Of course, this also means that I have to try on HUNDREDS of types, brands, and sizes until I find just the right one (and I go from store to store to find them), but when I get it right, it feels AMAZING and the sexiness I feel is so worth it!Gabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578251019921161469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-73011437470370804282009-10-29T13:29:49.183-07:002009-10-29T13:29:49.183-07:00Once every two years I buy a new pair of Levi'...Once every two years I buy a new pair of Levi's from their local outlet store.

Not so much Express. Just try and try and stick with a brand that seems right. But don't get discouraged when you buy some jeans from them and then a month later the same jeans have completely changed sizing. Why do they do this? Why is a 2, 6, 8, or 10 not always a 2, 6, 8, or 10?

Some stores have amazing sales around Christmas (think: sale price + additional 40 - 70% off), so you get awesome jeans for an acceptably cheap price. Better yet, if you have the patience, look for designer labels at places like Winners and TJ Maxx - and if you find a cut and a fit that is awesome <i>buy more than one pair</i>.
