I would LOVE a pair of white jeans (that actually look good on me).
White jeans seem to be really unforgiving of any area that bulges, or that may be a little farther south than it used to be.
I saw an ad in a magazine recently with a woman poured into a great pair of tight whites, and in the small print they claim to make you a whole size smaller. Hmmmm. I am not sure if I want to be any smaller, but what else do these magical jeans promise or provide?
The name threw me off at first but yet, I have to admit, they spoke to me: Not Your Daughters Jeans. Well, my daughter is only five, so maybe I have a little room here. I visited their website but the women's voices describing the jeans just sounded old to me.
Is this where I am at? Am I fooling myself? Or am I just resisting the inevitable move into the older, wiser, fending-off-the-wider-butt set?
I think this needs further investigation. Stay tuned!
I'm game. I've been on a search for the white jeans that make a 'mom of three with a wobbly belly' look okay. I'm not going for perfect, just 'okay'. The ones I found at Old Navy had rips in them. Um, no. I prefer non-ripped jeans, especially if the rips in every pair and size is identical. Geesh, it's a tough search!
ReplyDeleteHi beki!
ReplyDeleteJess and I just finished trying on the NotYourDaughtersJeans on at Nordstroms, it was hmmm... interesting. We are headed out tomorrow for more white jeans questing.
Stay tuned for new post!
Ps if you find a good pair on your own quest write us and we will share!
I bought a pair of dark wash NYDJ a couple of years ago-- I was about six months postpartum with my second at the time and I was desperate for anything to make me look vaguely attractive. The big mistake I made was ordering my actual size (I didn't take the time to go to a store where I could try them on). The jeans have so much stretch that you really need to buy them a size or two down so that they will work for you. Now, two years later, they have been relegated to the role of "Weekend Jeans": dark enough to look vaguely ok, but stretched out enough that I don't care if I have to wash them every couple of wears due to kid slobber and other hazards that somehow never affect me while I'm at work...
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see if you like the NYDJ. I think that the marketing preyed on my post-baby anxiety and they are really for people with a different build and age bracket. In other words, me in ten years, perhaps?
