I’ve been avoiding buying new jeans mainly because of money and my body ever changing postpartum. I also have no idea what my size actually is because women’s clothing sizes are insane and make no sense and it seemed like too much work. It dawned on me though that I will not in fact be fitting back into my pre-pregnancy jeans before autumn hits like I was able to first time around (I’m not rushing the process either, btw). So, I went to Depop and bought two pairs of different sizes and hoped for the best.
I just received one pair and the gods have blessed me. I feel like an actual woman instead of a nugget and the best part is I don’t have to hem them!!! Never in my life would I have sought out a pair of high-rise flare Hollister jeans but it turns out they are exactly what I needed 🙏
Spending the money to find clothes that actually fit you and make you feel good is worth it every time, a lesson I’ll learn over and over and over and over….

I made an error in purchasing my perfect pair of jeans. My friend who used to work at Levi’s recommends buying a size too small and I was cursed constantly with too baggy jeans because of not doing this. But I sized down too much with a very sturdy denim and they were just so uncomfortable. I persevered for a while, hoping they’d stretch more and refusing to take the loss. But last week I just fucking bought the size up and now I can wear them and love them and not feel sad and annoyed at myself every time! The moral of this story is to buy clothes that fit you, and to not continue to wear something that makes your crotch feel like it’s about to split in half. Take the loss, it will feel better.

spent like six months not wearing a pair of jeans that I had bought and loved because they fit me perfectly but were literally twelve inches too long - this week I finally got them altered so that I don't have to safety pin them or god forbid 2017 pinterest roll them up, and I feel SO HAPPY about it. like, amazing. like, brand new pair of jeans vibe. cannot recommend this enough.

I'm not a woman but my shape is weird enough to know the struggle. I never had fitting pants until I looked for them used and asked the sellers to measure out the hip and length. It really helps!
