Luckily, with a little advice I found on Girl with Curves, I found some jeans that work for me.

| Gap Curvy jeans |
Gap's Curvy jean, with its "ankle" lengths, fit me well enough to wear heels. The denim quality is good too; my Gap jeans always last for years.

| Old Navy Rockstar Skinny Jeans |
For skinnies (I refuse to call them jeggings), I go with Old Navy Rockstars. There's a lot of give/elastic in these, but sizing can be tough. The colored denim tends to run small, so I have to size up. The ankle lengths work for boots, but are too short to wear with flats. So there's give and take; they don't last forever. But for the price, I have to give them credit. Just don't expect these to last more than a year or two of constant wear!

| Old Navy Rockstar Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans |
I prefer the mid-rise Rockstars, because they're more forgiving and full-coverage. (i.e. you won't bend over and show your undies!)

| Gap cat print shirt |
Oh, and I bought this too. Because crazy cat ladies gotta represent.
I wish they made a pant that was high in the back and low in the front. I have having undies show and I hate even more having something tight on my stomach (maybe a post-baby problem? - never used to care). So now I find myself buying low rise and just never bending at the waist lol.
ReplyDeleteI actually feel like the mid-rise Old Navy jeans do pretty well with the bending, and the Curvy fit jeans there and at Gap tend to be lower cut with more coverage in the back. I think even non-curvy girls can benefit from those jeans in that regard! :)
DeleteThat was supposed to say: *I hate having undies show...
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they made mid rise rockstars...yes!!!
ReplyDeleteI am wearing my BR classic skinnies to death because they've somehow made them so they don't stretch and sag, plus I'm not flashing people every time I bend over. Too bad they don't sell them anymore - why?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel! I had these wide leg trouser jeans from the Gap that were amazing, but they shrunk so I looked like a nerd when I wore them. Now I can't seem to ever find them again, not in the same quality fit and material.
DeleteWhy do companies get us hooked on things (like a cut of jean, a lip color, etc.) then discontinue?! Surely what works for us also works for tons of other women like us.
