Jeans Success

As I posted/ranted about last week, one of my summer challenges had been finding new jeans. The Ann Taylor petite skinny jeans that I wore about 3 times/week were veering dangerously close to the stage where they would get holes in embarrassing places, and one of my pairs of Chico's jeans had faded from dark navy to light/medium blue, gotten baggy-ish, and had paint stains.

Before I went to Macy's today, I had tried on jeans at Gap, Chico's, Sears (including Kardashian jeans), Old Navy, Nordstrom Rack, and even K-Mart.

At Macy's, I tried on stuff from Levi's, Not Your Daughter's Jeans, Else, and one other brand. For a while, I had avoided the NYDJ brand out of principle. Perhaps it was ageist of me, but since I'm too young to have a teenage daughter, the thought of owning NYDJ jeans was more embarrassing than having Kardashian jeans. But my mom thought that the NYDJ jeans would fit me, and since she is the sewing/clothing expert in the family, I decided to try them out.
