Jeans are not a thing I buy very often because I end up going insane by the end of the shopping experience. But I really need a new pair of everyday jeans, and so my quest begins. Bootcut, long and lean, hip slung, trouser are just a few of the zillion ways people are describing jeans these days. So what is a girl to do, but try on a pair of a every style to ensure you get the right fit for your body. This however is complicated when you add in words like tall, regular, short, and petite. Oh how do you decide???
I ended up after several stores and even more hours of shopping buying this pair from the GAP. But they dont carry petite or short sizes in the store in this particular jean so I would have to get them hemmed. And to make matters worse I really wanted the dark color of this jean, but no store in the greater Houston area had it so I settled for the lighter color. And of course the day after I purchased them buyers remorse set in and I was on the search again for a more perfect pair. Are you starting to see my problem yet? I know I am a little bit of a freak, but seriously who knew jeans would cause this much stress in my life. (Not really, there are far greater things to be stressed about, but I am having a girl moment right now.) Ok so on to a solution. I was searching online at various stores and have found a few cute choices. Here are my options. Option A. I love the trouser cut on these and I also love how casual they are, perfect for a t-shirt and some ballet flats! The only negative with these is they wouldn't work with a more dressy top. Option B. I haven't seen these in person so I dont know just how dark they are, but I love the 5 pocket style! Option C. These are a bit on the pricey side, but I have heard that for jeans sometimes it's worth putting up a bit more cash because they last a lot longer. And I love the crisp wide leg style of these. If you have a favorite jean out there please share your knowledge, because right now I am feeling a little lost. Thanks for listening to my rammblings.

Now, I'm just sayin'...if you're looking for style WITH a perfect FIT...how do you buy online? I mean, I guess you can return, but that's such a process!
I love the jeans you got! So cute! If you keep those, then I wouldn't go for option A...too similar. And you may guess what I'm thinking about option C...:| So, if you must...go option B.
That's just two sense from a girl who's not very stylish, but knows the trials of finding perfect jeans. Good Luck!
I totally could've written this blog about 2 weeks ago--I know exactly how you feel!!! Jean shopping totally sucks. I was almost in tears and had sworn off food forever by the end of my shopping experience. I ended up buying the long and leans from the Gap. And let me tell you--I don't look long OR lean in them. Grrrr.
i love option b!! and a too! (all my jeans are gap, i love them..)
Hi Cat! If you decide you are willing to put in the money for jeans (like option C), I would go to Nordstroms. It is a forever process, but I found 2 pairs that I LOVE!! They ARE pricier, but one perk is that Nordstrom's will alter right there for FREE, unless you want to keep the original hem and then it is $20. They will be ready in a week.
Alex came with me and I must have tried on liek 30 pairs, but it turned out worth it. But you DO have to be willing to spend the money.
I have the Seven-Dojos and they are similar to a trouser pant and really dark.
Hope that helps!! You can do it!!
i know you're not a huge fan of ann taylor loft.....but they have really cute jeans right now...you need to check them out!
