It's official - all of my favorite jeans have holes in them

I hate when that happens. And the Year of Tania has passed, so they don't actually sell jeans that I like anymore. I bought two new pair but I'm not totally thrilled with either of them. Guess I'd better hit Dots again tomorrow, see if they have anything presentable. I can't live on two pair of jeans.

Hope you find something you like...

I wish I could FIT into my favorite jeans... :( But I hear ya... there's nothing like finding a pair that really fits and then becomes holey...

Around here we just call that "shabby chic"

I can't fit into my favorite jeans either! My new favorite pair (out of the 2 I own) is from NY&Company, on sale a few years ago. I also have a pair of denim capris from Gap that I like. Usually their jeans don't fit me very well but I like these.

LOL, yes, it's really me.

I have a couple pair of jeans without holes that don't fit me - I'm guessing that's why they are still in tact. I haven't had the chance to wear them out yet. Really looking forward to fitting back in them at some point.

I HATE shopping for jeans! It seems like all the pockets on the ones that fit good look dumb, or if the pockets are ok, then they don't fit right somewhere else. I got a pair at Aeropostale for $15 that are pretty good, though.

LOL I have 6 pairs and they all have holes in the knees, its from dropping to my knees taking care of the kids! Its crazy, but I gave up. I've tried others but they are not the same!

People in Florida wear jeans?

Dang, my bubble has been popped. I thought it was a land of bikinis, margaritas and Mickey Mouse.

For those of us currently in the state of "nobody should see my tummy if it's in the way of my toes", jeans are the new bikinis.

Whenever I find that "perfect" pair, I buy three, yes three, of them. If it's just a "semi-perfect" pair, I buy two. I don't know why I do this, but it makes me feel better to have multiples. Kind of like how I sometimes buy two of the embellishments I really like, makes me feel like I can use them since I have a back-up, lol.

I have learned with jeans to not be afraid to try on a ton of different brands. They change so much that my favorite brand changes, too. Seems like my Glamour magazine had this thing on their website about how to find your perfect jeans. I will look for it!

Only July 4th I declared my independence from ratty jeans and ordered 5 PAIRS of new jeans!! They were my favorite...and they were on sale for $19.99. I'm good to go for another 5 years or so. LOL!

Just did a Google search "finding perfect jeans" and tons of sites came up! Lots of brands have a something like this on their sites:

Try it...very interesting! Of course, I would go to the store and try them on, but it could help you narrow it down.

omg..I just did that jeans finder...the ones i like are **cough*168.00*cough**

(but they are on sale for $80).

deerewife · Sat Jul 12, 2008 10:14 am

I hate that too! Of course, my holes don't appear where it's a good idea to go around still wearing them - gotta love the thigh rub!

Good luck finding some. I tend to search good will for them - seems there are lots of people always gaining and loosing weight

Looks like I'm "cheaper" than you, Pam. The ones I chose are on sale for $30.

Sat Jul 12, 2008 10:22 am

That reminds me- I have 2 pairs on back order- since April! I better call them. They are the most comfy, stretchy, make my butt look good jeans ever. They better have them......

4peasinourpod · Sat Jul 12, 2008 10:31 am

Tania...you get an extra 20% off until 7/14...go for it

For the life of me, I can't figure out what size I would wear

Get the kind that have streth in them. They hug your curves, but they feel nice.
