I admit it. This changed my life.


If you ask any woman what are the 2 most painful shopping experiences, they will say 1) swimsuit shopping (shudder) and 2) jeans shopping. I went a few weeks ago for some new jeans with my mom, and I must have tried on a dozen pairs. Nothing makes you feel more like a sausage in casing then trying to squeeze your big booty into some jeans that ain't gonna happen. I'd really love to blame it on the 10 lb 11 oz bundle of gorgeousness that I carried until his due date. But let's get real. The sitting on the couch eating ice cream while watching Food Network has contributed it's fair share. And just watching Food Network alone will make you raid your fridge till you are licking out the remnants of some honey mustard.

Anyhoo, I was LITERALLY on my last trip to the dressing room, for a last ditch effort to find something that was less than hideous. And on my last sweep of Kohl's, I found these Lee jeans with something called a Comfort Waistband. (I just looked inside the waistband and that is exactly how it is written every 6 inches. In italics) If we were being brutally honest, Comfort Waistband is s nice way of saying elastic. Bordering on "mom jeans". (shudders) But I gave them a go. The fact that it is 3:30 in the afternoon and I am wearing them instead of my old navy pajamas pants is a testament to the wonder of these jeans. I mean seriously. I will NEVER go back to anything else. They stretch. They make me look almost skinny. They cuddle my booty instead of looking like I just pooped my pants. (yeah I'm talking to YOU Old Navy Jeans) Which probably means I need to go stock up on about 20 pairs because as soon as I fall in love with something, it get's discontinued. If every woman in America tried on these jeans, they would become believers. And they were even the right length! At 5'5", finding jeans that are not dragging 6" behind me on the floor all while encompassing my lady lumps is pretty much impossible. Did I mention they are under 30 bucks? I should be getting paid for such an endorsement. But I'll settle for more jeans.

Old Navy jeans suck suck suck. Gap jeans are great usually but they're much too expensive... I might have to investigate this Comfort Waistband situation in the near future.
