OMG , y'all? I think I just found my holy grail jeans!
So I love skinny jeans - love love love. However, I can NOT rock the low rise. I am long torsoed, all tummy and not a lot of tush so i really need a mid to high rise to sort of hold that bottom roll in (otherwise i look like a busted tin of biscuits).
So I tried out Ashley Stewarts www.ashleystewart.com/ashleystewart/browse/productDetail.jsp slim leg jeans and i am in luuuuuuuuuurve. If it helps for reference - my go to skinnies before were the Z. Cavaricci high waisted Mandy (Mindy??) jeans that they don't apprear to have on their website anymore. Y'all i'm so happy i could cry. I'm obsessed with these. they fit like, right at my belly button. so perfect for holding my bottom tum roll inside of my jeans (I have no issues with my rolls, however I don't like cutting a roll in half with a waist band - it feels awkward and looks even stranger). As far as sizing info goes- these are cut a bit bigger than the Z. Cavariccis - I used to wear a size 20 in those and that was just dandy, but i needed to replace them b/c they started getting too big and when i went down to a size 18 they were strangely really loose on the waist but LUDICROUSLY tight on my thighs. No such problems with these! They are a little loose-ish in a a size 18 but i'm kind of in between sizes right now so that could be part of it.
Anyway, I thought this might be helpful to the gals shaped like me!
I was also wondering if anyone had any bra recommendations or reviews on the torrid bras. I'm looking to sort of "fun" up my underthing wardrobe and torrid seems to have the most fun, sort of graphic image-y bras and undies, but i haven't seen any recent reviews and i know their quality and cuts change like the wind. Does anyone have any other recs? I used to love the target cotton printed undies (with hello kitty and such) but it seems like they have stopped doing that in larger sizes. I live in NYC so online stuff would be most helpful, as I'm not close to any walmarts or anything (alas... i LOVE wal mart!)
Thanks!!!!
