I’m interested to hear your reviews! I love checking out the “what are you stalking now” thread in the LV forum and it seems like that’s one of the most popular bags. I’m wondering about their SLGs and if I would find them useful. I use bag organizers to protect my Hermes bags and then just dump my items inside. Would be nice to have some little pouches instead of needing to few around in the bag organizer to find an item. I’m currently waiting for my LV SA to get the mini pochette accessories in monogram.

I have a small pouch from another brand to have my bags organised. My SLGs are a card case, a small Adele wallet and a Multicles, but no Toiletry or something like that.
I will tell you how I like the bag :-)
 
I love skinny jeans and jeggings. I think they look best with boots over them as it balances out the skinniness. They work for me because I have skinny legs and aren't usually skintight on me. I find the pairs I own very comfortable because they have a lot of lycra in the fabric. I even have a few pairs that slip on, no zipper. They are so comfortable I could sleep in them. I have tried some on in stores that were so tight at the ankle that I almost couldn't get them off.

I think boot cut and flares help balance out the hips. But I'm short and they often end up dragging on the floor. I don't have that problem with skinny jeans. If they are too long they just bunch up at my ankle.
I agree with you... there are a lot of women who look fabulous in skinny jeans! It's nice that there are different options for different preferences. :smile:
 
I can feel your pain. I’m considered abnormally huge since teenager for where I live so it’s even harder. So, jeans shopping is always a pain. I love global shipping.
I've never been able to buy jeans on line. A size 4 in one brand is a size 6 in a different brand and a size 2 in yet a third brand, and it drives me crazy.
Even yesterday, when I finally found the brand and style that suited me, I took a size 4 in two of the colors, but I needed to go up to a size 6 in the third color. If I had just tried on one pair to get my correct size, and then taken the other two pairs without trying them on, I would have been really annoyed when I got home! :annoyed:
 
I will have to check these out ina few weeks too.
AG, J Brand, Grlfrnd, Everlane, MiH, A Golde, and Frame are all great brands as well, but at designer prices. On sale, you can get their jeans for $70-100, and if you don't mind secondhand jeans, you can get them for $30-$40! If you're looking for a lower price new, I like my Everlane. My current favorite are my MiH skinnies and my kick crops from Everlane :flowers:

What works for me is knowing my exact measurements for rise, inseam, and waist. I know Everlane provides these measurements, and I really think all honest retailers should! I never go by size anymore, but by measurements. This is all a learning experience from returning SO many ill-fitting jeans over the span of a couple of years. Black jeans tend to be tighter because of the kind of dye and material needed to get a true black! :biggrin:

I’m an hourglass so small waist and bigger bottom / hips. Interestingly I look best in (not super tight) skinny jeans or (not quite) straight leg jeans. I’ve read so many articles that say I’d looks best in regular straight leg or even boot cut and they look terrible on me.

And I agree, some stretch is a requirement for my jeans so they can be comfy. (I’m not a fan of wearing jeans in general because I don’t find them as comfortable as a dress.)
 
I love jeans".........the trick is to find the brand and fit that work best for you. I like Paige and joe jeans. Right now I’m loving paige as the have slim straight leg jean that fits me amazing. I have bought them in every color. Have about 12 pair different washes
I’ve never tried Paige or Joe. What is your body type? Ruler? Pear? Hourglass?
Lucky brand used to fit me best but now that I am a bit fluffier not so much. I am still doing whole 30 so I will see if my jeans fit again when I am done. If not I will go shopping in Feb. I have a long torso which makes it tricky buying pants and I am medium tall at 5'9".
”Fluffier”. That’s cute. :amuse:

And at 5’9” you are tall for a woman. In the US the average height is 5’4”. I’m tall like you at 5’8” and always feel like I’m looking over people when I’m in my heels. LOL! I find being our height makes it hard to find pants. Regular are often to short but tall is too long. I usually end up buying tall and getting them tailored. :-s

Exactly. I find the wash makes a real difference. Dark jeans almost always fit tighter than light washed jeans. I agree, you really have to try them on. That is why I buy several at one time.
 
None of my jeans fit me right now, and I’ve even outgrown some of the maternity jeans I bought earlier on! But my favorite brands are L’Agence and Mother jeans. L’Agence are super stretchy and they just seem to hug everything right in. Sigh... I wonder if I’ll ever be able to fit into my clothes again. Only time will tell!
Thanks for these suggestions. Your body type? The reason I keep asking this is certain jeans are cut better or worse for different body types.

Buying jeans online is a definite no for me. And I just ranted a while back about women’s clothing sizing. Mr. S is the same size in clothing 95% of time because men’s sizing makes sense. Women’s sizing is all over the place.

Plus men are very comfortable getting their clothes tailored. Why we women don’t feel we should too is frustrating. It hit me like a ton of bricks about 7 years ago that I could get something and get it tailored to perfectly fit me. I have a hard time with the extra cost some time but it’s worth it. A good tailor who knows your body is worth their weight in gold!!
