Is this my body? No. Did I feel like this was my body when I bought these Citizens of Humanity jeans this weekend? Omigod yes. First, let me say that I don’t consider myself a “sassy jeans” girl. The last pair of jeans I bought was $19 on sale at Ann Taylor loft. And the jeans purchase before that was at least 5 years ago and was a pair of Levis. So why did I spend over $150 on a pair of jeans? Well, I have finally lost all my baby weight, and I was shopping with my oldest and dearest friends plus a Nordstrom super duper jeans cheerleader sales gal. And they were all intent on finding me the perfect pair.

I learned that “premium jeans” are not supposed to fit like Levis. Every time the Nordstrom cheerleader would see me step out of the dressing room, she’d shout at me to get into the next size down, because apparently these are meant to be bought TIGHT and then they stretch out quite a bit. I’m going to wear them around the house this week, just to make sure they’re not crazy tight before taking them in to be hemmed (for free at Nordstrom. Who knew they did free hemming? Not me.) Now I have the pressure of finding the perfect shoes to go with these jeans, so I can get them hemmed to the right height. I’m not quite ready to be a double sassy jeans girl like my friend Jen, who has a long pair and a short pair. Someday!
