I HATE trying on JEANS!!

[UKcats06]

I like Target jeans also. They also have Levis for like $20 at Target and Walmart that are nice. I'm cheap so thats all I can afford for jeans right now. I like gap jeans also, for when I can splurge a little. You can usually get them on sale for a decent price, I can't pay $60 for a pair of jeans. Like I said, I'm cheap!

I had a pair of mossimo jeans that I loved, and then I got paint on them. Of course they discontinued the line, so I had been without happy jeans.

I have several gfs who SWEAR by "my boyfriends jeans" by gap. I borrowed a pair one night and I liked them. but I'm pretty easy going when it comes to jeans, I am also a old navy fan.

I know it's a big no-no, but I wear "mom jeans". There, I said it. Yes, I'm a loser. I do NOT tuck shirts in though so I don't think most people really know where my pants go to. I have tried low-waist, and while they look fine when you are not moving at all, as soon as you bend over, down your crack they go. That seems to be the value of them for some women, for me, not so much. I don't know if it's just the porportion of my body or what, but I can not wear low-wasited pants and bend over with out my butt showing. Oprah says you can't expect any pair of pants to fit you everywhere and you should just count on them needing to be altered. Well, since I can barely afford pants, let alone to have them tailored, I get what I can!

I don't know that ticked my funny bone this morn. but it did!
maybe there is a self-help group for that. My name is Michelle and I where mom pants! lol, I have a gf who wears granny panties, and refuses to give them up! she says she can't stand the feel feeling of underwear going places that it shouldn't!

[TheWife]

Tell her to wear g-strings! Geez, even granny panties can end up in your crack after enough movement, you might was well wear something strappy so it's less material that has to be wedged in there!

oh, I watched this spoof of "mom jeans" on SNL one time, and died with laughter...no worries, you gotta do what you gotta do...

I wear...mostly GAP...worked there for 2yrs so I know what they have...I have no rear-end, well it's flat-ish, but anything that will give me 'oomph' I'll wear it! Right now, I opt more for skirts/dresses/ and such...

What jeans do you like the best? I realize that this is a very random post and that everyone will have their own favorite brand. But I honestly don't even know where to start. Everything I have been trying on lately fits horribly. HELP! Please share your secrets!!

I love my Banana Republic jeans... one of my girlfriends who is full-figured swore by them, so I tried them out. I am in LOVE with their jeans now... their contoured & modern cut jeans (I usually get boot cut) are perfect. They have a bit of stretch, so they're comfortable and they look nice and trendy without the ass hanging out effect. You should at least go try them on!!

Yes, I really need to go shopping! Thank you ladies for all of the great suggestions and great laughs. You girls are so funny!
