The Light Frames Your Face.

Jeans have always been one thing I definitely don't enjoy shopping for (and I love to shop.) This mostly stems from the fact that I have a lot of trouble finding jeans that fit me right. I usually have to dedicate a long shopping trip or two to finding new jeans, involving trying on many pairs that don't fit right or are just freakishly long on me. After these trips are finished I often still find myself with jeans that still only fit "just okay", or sometimes worse.

So when I found myself in need of new jeans again, I decided to cut out all the struggle of trying to locate affordable and well fitting jeans by heading straight to Nordstrom. And it was as simple as that! I went into Nordstrom, asked the sales girl for suggestions on dark wash straight leg jeans that aren't too low of a rise. She immediately grabbed a pair of Citizens of Humanity Ava jeans. I tried on a few different sizes and found a pair that fit perfectly. They do alterations for free there so I didn't have to even take the length issue into consideration.

I debated about getting two pairs of the same style of jeans, but ended up deciding on a bootcut pair too in order to mix it up a little and better suit an outfit with heels. The salesperson told me that not many jeans have just a slight bootcut right now, most of them are a more dramatic flare, but once they would hem them for my height the flare would mostly be gone. She pulled a pair of Paige Premium Denim Skyline jeans and sure enough they were the perfect choice again.

In the end my two new pairs of jeans cost me a lot more than I'm used to, but I'm at peace with that since the higher cost was in exchange for less stress, better customer service, and most importantly a great fit and the right length.

Do you usually splurge on jeans or have you managed to find the perfect pair for a jealousy inducing price?
