just call me goldilocks
good news: i can fit into a smaller sized pair of jeans
bad news: muffin top!
i'm a BIG fan of going up a size if it means that your clothes will look better on you. i always pitied those poor idiots out there that insist on squeezing themselves into an article of clothing just because they can say they wear a size 6 even as the roll of fat is emerging from the top of their jeans.
so right before i left for london, i bought a pair of jeans that i knew fit me well around my waist...they were ever-so-slightly large in other areas, but whatev. after a few times of wearing them they stretched out so much i basically needed a rope to secure them around me.
they became unwearable.
so when i went to get another pair of jeans i went for the smaller size...even though i squealed when i saw the muffin top. now i'm praying that these will also stretch out.
seriously, how many pair of jeans does a girl need to own before she finds a pair that fits her.

That is SO frustrating. I'm battling two pairs of jeans right now. The smaller is still a little too small and yet the bigger pair pretty much hang off me. Same brand and everything! Sigh.

well the rolls of fat are a turn off... as you have read we have Jean Day at my work and I think it is more like BIG BUTT day... I am so disgusted at why these teachers wear these tight jeans that they don't fit in... it is quite gross to go to work on Fridays...

I think I am at 5. Yet, I wear the same pair every day!

Must be tough to have such skinny little legs!
I just tossed about six pairs of not-hot jeans. I'm still battling the opposite problem: if they're big enough to fit over my "solid" ass and thighs, the waist gapes and displys my undies when I sit.
Want to have another jeans-shopping day? I think I'm ready to try Apple Bottoms...

I just bought my first pair of high-end jeans. totally worth $150 to have jeans that fit well, look good, don't gap, and that I can fit over my hips.

It's an age old question, and I'm beginning to think that the answer is 42.
