A Great Jean Shopping Experience!!

I know that sounds like an oxymoron. But it actually happened. Jean shopping is often a frustrating experience because finding jeans that fit right seems nearly impossible, they are always too tight in one spot, too big in a spot or a problem I always have is they are too short. Last week we were at Kohl's and I tried on 6 or 7 pairs of jeans and nothing worked. The only pair that fit ok looked like floods. Two days later I set out to again do some jean shopping. Usually I shop mid-line like Kohl's JC Penneys, Target or Old Navy. This time I decided that I actually wanted to try on some nice jeans so we went to Macy's. I didn't look at any of the price tags as I gathered all of the jeans to try on. To my surprise, almost every pair I tried on wasn't too bad and there were a few pairs that were excellent! I have never been so excited to wear jeans before! SO, I am writing this to tell all of you; if you have a hard time finding jeans that fit just perfect, you probably aren't shopping in the right place, I know I wasn't. I am convinced that more expensive jeans (and not that you have to spend a ton but you do get better quality and fit) are worth it! By the way, I bought two pair one which was on sale for $26.00 but I only paid $15.00 and another that was $70.00 but I only paid $42.00.(I opened a Macy's account which gave me 40% off and then paid off the balance right away with my debit card) That is $57.00 for two excellent fitting jeans. Well worth it. I hope all jean shopping in the future is this successful:)

Finding jeans that you actually like is always a good thing.
