jeans and boots!

[bigbadmere]

1. For the past two years I've been going crazy trying to find jeans that fit me right. I dropped down from wearing a 6/7 to a 4/5 and now I don't know what size I wear. For trousers I can wear a 2 or 4, but jeans never fit right. Part of it is that I very much have the body of a twelve year old boy! I have no butt whatsoever, and my hips and waist

1. lolomg i'm the same way, except i'm a 0-2. as far as jeans go, buy them small. if you have the money, go out and buy some J Brands or Paige Premium Denim(they're about $169) but if you aren't lucky enough to have that money onhand right now (as i am- thank you recession for laying me off) go to the mall and try on everything. the trick is, since most womens jeans have stretch in them, you have to be sure that they fit very snug when you buy them. no matter what, they are going to stretch out. it's a fact of life. but, if you buy them a smidgeon smaller, the waist and everything will stretch out and conform to your body just right- just don't wash them as much (you shouldn't be doing this anyway) and put them in the dryer only when they're too stretched out. this works, as this is what people do with raw jeans and after having a brief fling with raw/dry denim, i have realized that it def. applies to regular jeans too. grab your usual size and if they fit fine, grab the size smaller and see how much smaller they are and draw your comparisons. it takes a bit of time, but it's worth it. as far as us girlies with small bums, go for smaller pockets that are right on the cheeks rather than half on the cheeks and half on the thigh. i recommend (on the more affordable side) Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, Levi's (i think they're 521s, and also the men's 510s), and American Apparel Unisex Slim Slacks. on the expensive side of things, the names i dropped earlier are your best bet- TRUST ME. i've been on the hunt for perfect jeans for my boy-ish body all my life it seems.

2. can't help you there, i live in Vegas. the thought of snow and ice scares the hell out of me.
