The Perfect Jeans

Don’t exist.

At least that is what it feels like, I tried on so many pairs of jeans last week and not one of them was the perfect fit. Straight, skinny, boot cut, skinny flare – you name it, I tried it. Short and petite and nothing was perfect. Being a bit long I can cope with, I’m come to accept over the years that I’m never going to find a pair of trousers the right length. It’s the rest of the fit being rubbish that is starting to bother me.

I went for a pair of skinny flare in the end. However they are designed for someone with hips as wide as a bus... I’ve had children, I have child bearing hips but honestly I don’t know who would be the shape these are made for. It’s all a bit baffling to me. So if anyone can help me, please do.

So please do tell me where I can buy a decent pair of jeans that don’t cost the earth. Maybe I have a new shape... I know I have a new shape. A mummy shape; but so do a million other women so why is it so hard. Or is there a tip to buying jeans that I am missing?
