Friday, I hear ads on the radio saying Gap jeans are $19.99. Woohoo, cheap jeans! Too bad I'm in Tahoe and nowhere near a Gap. Saturday, Jen calls me to tell me about the jeans. I said I'd heard about it; she says she's been calling around looking for the essential fit I love and got her started on. She put a pair on hold for me in Tempe, and we decided to go to Scottsdale on Sunday. Scottsdale only had 10 long left, which is way too long. We found out from a salesperson that Gap is redesigning all their jeans, and getting rid of some styles, one of which is my favorite and most flattering essential fit! She said skinny jeans are staying and I pointed to my hips, asking, "Do I look like I need skinny jeans?!" We all laughed. Jen and I then decided to invent fat jean styles like big butt jeans, just-ate-5-hot-fudge-sundaes fit, and one with a removeable panel you can snap back in when you eat too much.

So, I managed to get ONE more pair of jeans that I love, and a pair of boot cut just for something different. Whatever the new styles are, they better have something I can wear.

I can't remember the designer but I know there is one out there that does make big butt jeans.

*grins*

Imagine that...Gap, getting rid of a style that someone loves. Same a-holes who own Old Navy, that did the same thing to ME. *is still angry at the company*

It's been a horrible pain trying to get good jeans since O.N. dumped the cut I'd worn for YEARS.

You need to get out there and try on new ones. If I learned anything from Stacy and Clinton, it's worth trying on 30 pairs of pants to find one good one.

Haha, I have - I'm *very* particular about jeans. In checking Macys, Nordstrom (AWFUL jeans and SO overpriced), Old Navy, Buckle, Anchor Blue, Fred Meyers (it's a grocery chain out here that carries clothes and bedding and all KINDS of stuff - like a more expensive super walmart), Target, WalMart....I finally found ONE pair of jeans I like at a store called Charlotte Russe. I wear them darn near every day, too, 'cause they fit SO much better than the others. OH, the other store where I actually bought jeans was NY & Co, and frankly I'm horribly unimpressed with their jeans, the way they "wear" after a few washings and how they're all so spandexy that you have to buy them too small so that an hour after you put them on, they fit correctly. Otherwise, they loosen up and totally bag out and are way unattractive.
