How many jeans?

3. And there's a distinct hierarchy. My Not Your Daughter's fit best and I never have to fidget. Then my Banana Republic ones. Not super comfy and could use a size larger. . My Lucky's fit great in the butt and legs, but constantly need to be pulled up...

I just ordered a new pair of Not Your Daughters, because I'd like at least half of my rotation to fit well.

I think I have 7 or 8 pairs of jeans in varying sizes and I wear them all regularly. 2 or 3 pairs of khakis, too.

I have way too many pairs of jeans, I am embarrassed to admit. However, I had a very sad experience last week when I went through my jeans drawers and tried every single one on. There are only a few that fit because of all the weight I've lost (again, not a good thing ), and now I have a gigantic bag of spendy jeans to donate. I'm giving them to my mom for her Relay For Life fundraiser garage sale. Someone should enjoy them if I can't! I'm so bummed about this that I won't be buying any new jeans anytime soon.

Yay for you, Moonlight! Go buy some new jeans! You'll feel so much better in jeans that fit! I now have to pairs of jeans that fit (one needs to be hemmed though) and a pair of cords. As well as some black slacks and some capris (it's Texas. It's hot and I don't always have time to shave enough leg for shorts or a skirt).

If anyone needs size 28's (6) or 29's (8), let me know and I can send them to you.

I just gave most of mine to my sister because of my weight loss.

I have 1 pair that fits decently, 1 pair that is too big and 2 pair that are just a tad too tight and the wrong cut for my post-kid shape.....but if I drop the last 5 pounds they'll do ok.

I basically alternate the first two. Washing when they get gross or too stretched out.

That's actually my biggest gripe about jeans these days! Too much spandex/stretch! They only get a couple of days wear and then they are all saggy. Maybe it's just because the two I wear most are cheap Target jeans. But my jeans from my grungy high school day lasted weeks without washing.

WGW, I wear 28/29 but you're tall, right?

I was going to get some not your daughters jeans but it was an amazon lightning deal and the deal didn't work for some reason. And I wasn't sure the size. Do they sell them anywhere where you can try on jeans?

I hate wearing a belt and I'm having a hard time keeping jeans up... Plus I think I'm in between sizes which makes it a little hard.

I've seen the NYDJ brand at department stores - Von Maur, Nordstrom, Macys.

[Michele]

Dillard's too.

[alison]

Nordstrom! And they'll do free alterations on them for shrimps like yours truly.

I am 5'10" but they can be hemmed! I have a lot of Hudson, Seven's, Citizens, Rock and Republic...I can send whichever ones you want. Happy they will be going to a good home.

Michele- I agree about the Spandex- I loved Gap jeans but now they're like wearing a pair of stretch pants after a couple hours- all baggy butt and knees.

Good Lord, when is the whole jeggings trend going to end??????

[lovelight]

I have three pairs. One light and long enough to wear with heels. Two dark pairs that I can only wear with flats - one has a wider leg and one more narrow. I yearn for a dark pair I can wear with heels though, because I prefer to wear dark out at night. I pretty much wear the light pair 4 days a week and then throw in the dark one once a week so I can wash the light. So happy to have a job that I can wear jeans to daily!!

WGW - I'm a 6 if you still have some to offer.
