ABOUT ME:

I effin rock! I love to blog just for fun. (Ok, so I'm really a huge dork with no life. Hey, I get really bored at work!) I started this blog as a way to get my fix of shopping cravings, since I am always broke and can't actually go shopping. What can I say? “We're living in a material world, and I'm a material girl...” Then I found Kaboodle and became obsessed with that site. So, now this blog is just for whatever I feel like doing at the time. So if you find something interesting--great! Leave comments, subscribe, or make fun of me if you will. Whatev. And if you get the urge to spend some money, feel free to buy me all the presents you want. (JK. haha! ...but not really.)

Jeaniology for the Curvy Girl

I was discussing jeans with a girl here at work and it led me to do another google search for curvy jeans. I've done this search time and again but I never really find the information I'm looking for. See, I'm tall and thick and have a horrendous time finding jeans that fit the way I want them to:
  • long enough to cover my shoes but not drag on the ground
  • flattering shape
  • lifting slightly in the butt
  • pockets proportional to my cheek size
  • not so low that they give me muffin top
Most of the Junior size 13s are too short--I'm 5'11"--and too snug and the Missy sizes are never available in the styles I like. I tried Applebottoms and they were okay--cute pockets--except they stretched out right away and i had to keep tugging on them the rest of the day to keep them...and they had no belt loops so I couldn't even cinch 'em. There is no shape recovery in them at all!

I've even thought I needed to bite the bullet and jump the fence to Plus sizes (its hard to do that when you're on the cusp...there's a sense of denial there). But the 14s are too loose and the crotch is super long! What do they think I'm packin in there?! So, I figured I'd bring this dilemma to the table and see what kind of responses I can get. Maybe there are more girls my size that have the answers! Can someone please tell me this... Where can I find the perfect jean?

Filly's website suggests these:
Are they right? Will I find what I'm looking for in these brands?

I'm not sure that I have an answer for you. I don't have much experience there. Sorry lady!
Good luck!
