I hate shopping for jeans. After shopping for shoes, shopping for jeans will get me depressed every time. I’ve got a small waist and a bit of a booty so that makes it really hard to find jeans that fit well. When I find something that fits well around my hips and bum, it puckers out at the back of my waist so much that I end up showing off my knickers. The other thing is that I’m only 5ft 4.5 inches tall. Petite sizes are just a tad too small/short while regular sized clothes are often just a bit too big. What I don’t understand is why the larger you go in size the longer the pant leg gets. What’s that all about? Women get fatter, not taller. Yeah, I could take jeans to a seamstress but I think the jean manufacturers should just make jeans that fit real women.
After dropping waistlines and finally finding something halfway flattering in the Gap’s Long and Lean jean, they tell me that the high waist is coming back. I just got rid of my high waist jeans because I thought they made me look too matronly. Sure, I may be a grandma but I’m not ready for support hose and a cotton duster.
