I’m totally a jeans girl! Gap has some great affordable styles. Right now I am liking the Long and Lean style best, but they also have nice trouser-style jeans for a dressier look. Looking forward to the rest of your fashion tips!

well it would help if some places would stop changing the cuts and styles and names of the freakin things, yeah? lol!

Also, I think they should be required to provide babysitting services while you are trying on jeans.

Jeans should be available with a 30 day test drive option…there’s no way to tell if the same pair that looks great today will actually fit later in the month, if you know what I mean, hahahah!

My tip-check Nordstom’s Rack, Off 5th and other name brand department store outlets. My current fav jeans are Lucky Brand. Normally around $70, I snagged this pair at Nordstrom’s Rack for only $24.99! Sweet!

Oh and that was on a day when my kids were at school and day care, of course! lol!

Thank you for doing this. It’s about time us moms take care of ourselves on the fashion front. A tip a day. I’ll be tuning in and telling my mom friends. Maybe I can get them to do some clothing swamps? I’m 5’11, so length in jeans is always an issue. Never mind when I was pregnant. Will you be doing maternity advice, too? I’m 3 months along.

This was hilarious! I did your mom personal shopping survey too that you had put up on Twitter a week ago. It really opened my eyes. I have been putting my fashion self second for too long. I just went to GAP and Old Navy to see the jeans online. They have some great styles! Thanks for this. New Year’s Resolution #1 – buy jeans. And can the high waist ones.

My most favourite jeans ever are those I’ve bought at Gap, and most recently at Old Navy.

I got a pair of long (I’m 5ft 9in) ‘flirt’ fit jeans which are not real low cut so perfect for me – in Old Navy the day after thanksgiving for 12 bucks! A great fit and a deal to boot!

I have one pair of designer jeans – and they do not flatter me as well as the Old Navy ones.

I’m looking forward to this series of tips, and am secretly pleased that on day one I’m not too wide of the mark so far!

Audrey, Happy New Year!
Great idea and I look forward to seeing what you have to say. My 2 cents worth is this – being 4’11” is challenge enough – but if you buy jeans that have Lycra/ spandex in them, I recommend to go down a size as they will stretch later on and maintain that and then they feel too big on you! This is speaking from experience!
Happy jean shopping everyone!

The new Lee jeans are great. They are low rise, boot cut with a comfort waist. I bought four pairs this fall and they are super comfy!
