I carry all my weight in my legs so it is tricky. Currently, my white jeans are from Loft and the Kut brand. My absolute favorites are Citizens of Humanity Emerson style. There is a bit of stretch and I size down 2 sizes so they are more of a skinny/straight versus the boyfriend. I've tried lots of others but these always work and I am planning to keep adding different washes (they are $$$ so it will be slow). Good luck on your search and look forward to your reviews!Muffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388765874750843996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-74865731378004604452017-05-03T13:12:26.277-04:002017-05-03T13:12:26.277-04:00Cass, I like the blue tie neck top too - love that...Cass, I like the blue tie neck top too - love that color!

I've never tried Banana Republic or Loft for jeans. I did buy a pair at Talbots and would have bought a white pair, but they white ones in the same style were from an almost all stretch fabric, so it was a no go. I have done the Nordstrom jeans thing....I think it was just a bad day. The male sales associate was wearing Levis and I asked him to show me the women's Levis only to be told they don't carry Levis. Misleading??? So he brings me a bunch of jeans by my waist size...sure, they might of fit my waist, if I could have gotten the jeans up to my waist. They were all tiny legged, holey, ripped, distressed, super cropped. I do LOVE the suggestion of really do my homework, trying on a lot of brands and buying them off ebay! That's brilliant! I'll start today with Madewell, Banana and Loft since they are all in the same mall and go from there. This has been an eye opener for me. I've never really thought about how individual we all are. I've just always thought I was "normal" size...not big, not small, not really short but not really tall. I've really gotten more familiar with my body shape through this process. I find the naming of jeans to be a little helpful...but still pretty obscure. I"ll let you all know what I find today!

I usually find them at Nordstrom Rack for under $100.<br /><br />The new patchwork vintage crop jeans at J.Crew are 98% cotton 2% elastane - tried them on last week and they didn't feel super stretchy but enough to have a little bit of give.Anne - The Fab Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235117913749019487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-48903491494711979732017-05-03T07:25:05.861-04:002017-05-03T07:25:05.861-04:00I'm a 29/30 in jeans and have found some at J....I'm a 29/30 in jeans and have found some at J. Crew that are flattering and comfortable. There is one darker wash in the Matchsticks, in particular, that really worked. Toothpicks are fine but not my favorites. But the Lookouts, forget it, they are like a sausage casing, tight in all the wrong places. I made the mistake of trying them on in white last year, it was depressing. Have you tried the Vintage Crop jeans at J. Crew? They are so easy to wear, give them a try if you haven't! I've tried Madewell's perfect summer jeans. They were not my favorites, but I like a bit of stretch and I felt fat in them. I did like the wash on the jeans and the idea of them. Jeans are so tricky. <br /><br />Madewell has started doing this thing with the front pockets on their jeans. They've stitched them down or something. I don't recall what the name of the jeans are, but they're a skinny style with a high-ish rise with this pocket feature and they're amazing. catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-26321871780805543002017-05-03T06:55:34.334-04:002017-05-03T06:55:34.334-04:00I think that's the bodysuit shown under the kh...I think that's the bodysuit shown under the khaki ruffle skirt with all the tulle at NYFWSuz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861014424535094375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-6395626475643180262017-05-03T05:43:12.156-04:002017-05-03T05:43:12.156-04:00I just tried Loft jeans for the first time after g...I just tried Loft jeans for the first time after giving up on J Crew when my last pair of Toothpicks split at the seams. I loved them and they fit like a glove. They did have some stretch though. I am in the minority with my hatred of high rise jeans but I'm super short and short waisted so they always feel like they come up to my chest when I wear them, even in petite. I found the Loft jeans were true mid rise and covered my belly without being too high.TeriLynn13https://www.blogger.com/profile/15542257181809618994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-22050266468119864162017-05-03T05:17:59.843-04:002017-05-03T05:17:59.843-04:00Sarah - Ema at crazyaboutjcrew has a picture on he...Sarah - Ema at crazyaboutjcrew has a picture on her instagramToronto Modernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047950309668617462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-76326108872651624972017-05-03T01:11:09.332-04:002017-05-03T01:11:09.332-04:00Thomas Mason Button Up Bodysuit is interesting.
