Tonchi's story reminded me of a time quite awhile back that I was shopping for new jeans. The Express store was having a $20 jeans sale, so i thought I'd check their brand out. At the time I was plenty comfortable in a 6, so I picked out 2-3 pairs in that size in the same style but different shades/washes. It was like a bad three bears story, one too big, one too small, and one relatively right. Even the lengths were different. In the same style! I went back to buying the more expensive 'designer' jeans, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren and Lucky are my favorites because I can pretty much buy off the shelf and the have 'ankle' length which is apparently the new PC term for short. They also still come in styles that a curvy woman can fit into, like 'relaxed' and 'Saturday' styles.
Being 5'2'' makes buying cheaper jeans more problematic because they tend to only come in a 30-31' inseam, when a 29 is perfect for me. Oh, and I have several older pairs of Calvin Kleins that I love, but they are harder to find around here. Why is it that when you finally find a style that not only looks good on you, but is confortable to wear, the next time you need jeans, they've discontinued it? Ugh.
