I’ve decided that my quest for the perfect pair of jeans was taking over my life. I have to move on. And so, with little fanfare, I say goodbye to yet another hair-brained get rich quick (rich in denim anyway) scheme. Adieu.
I was inspired to order a few styles from Victoria Secret based on Ashley’s facebook question and subsequent responses. I placed the order on the 1st and here they are today! Just 4 days later. Woo Hoo!
Here’s what I ordered:
- Low Boyfriend Jean in 4 and 6
- The Hipster Bootcut Jean in size 6 (they didn’t have a 4)
- Super flare jean in 4 and 6
- Linen-blend Easy Jean in 4 and 6
The full review will follow!
I think I ordered to many pairs to try on. Now, I can’t decide if I like any of them.
I have my return forms filled out (took like half an hour) and I’m ready to pack the boxes. But I just can’t do it! I really want to own a new pair of jeans, but I don’t want to settle. However I think that maybe I have so many options, that I just can’t make up my mind. So here is the question. Do you think I should keep any of these?

So I’ve been agonizing over whether or not to pursue this endeavor.
Do I really want to put my struggles with finding the perfect pair of jeans (along with photos of my butt) out there for anyone and everyone to see. Am I secure enough with me to subject myself to that kind of public scrutiny? Plus, do I really have the time to do this? I arlready have two business and two children plus a large and time consuming family that all live within 30 miles of me.
This is a great opportunity to explore the world of blogging, online social networking and do some shopping all at the same time. Maybe by putting it all out there for everyone to see, I will loose my anxiety over my expanding rear – it will completely obliterate my vanity – free me to appreciate who I am right now. And how much time could it take anyway?
Ashley gave me a great pep talk a couple of days ago and after a little more soul searching, I think she’s right. This is fun, its a good exercise and maybe I’ll find those perfect pair in the process. Her suggestion to find others to contribute their reviews is the key I think. The more people we have reviewing, the better! So please, if you are interested in participating, let me know.
I just noticed that these Paper Denim Cloth Jeans are on sale for $37 at Bluefly!!! Hurry and buy them if you love Paper Denim Cloth! I reviewed the Bridgette cut, but have not seen this finish. If you buy them, please let us know what you think!
I LOOOVE the wash on these jeans. So fantastically beachy. Unfortunately, the 27s are just way too small.
Remember acid wash? Ok, maybe thats a little harsh. The finish on AGs the Angel is a little more 80s that I like. I liked them from the front. But there are two problems – the wash and the mom butt!
These dark wash jeans have the perfect amount of distressing and the perfect cut to wear with a pair of flip flops – I think they would be better summer jeans if they were a little lighter.
Diesel Ronhar with the braided detail are really cute jeans but unfortunately, I only ordered at 27 and they’re pretty tight. I was trying to convince myself that I would get used to how tight the waist is, but I have to be honest with myself – they’re just not practical. Plus, the look too tight. Now I just need to decide if I should take a chance that I will like the 28s when I put them on. (more…)
Hudson’s boot leg 5 pocket stretch jean is definitely cool. However the longer I wore them, the more they flattened out my bottom and made my hips look wide – even lumpy. Definitely not flattering for me. Too bad.
