To buy or not to buy

I need help.

Saturday when I got ready to take Brandi to her soccer game, I realized I only had one good pair of jeans. And they were in the laundry. Slated to be washed later, after the game. And the hair. And the training. And the shopping.

I was stuck wearing sweats all day. In public. And everywhere I went I saw at least 3 people that I knew.

At least I had on makeup.

So while Brandi and I were shopping, I thought I would get a new pair of jeans because that pair in the hamper? They are a bit big and the legs lookk like clown pants. Or sweats, so I guess it wouldn't have been much different than what I was wearing.

Now I have a bit of a problem. I have given birth to a lot of kids and have th hips to prove it.

I try on the pants- a size smaller than what is in my closet thank you very much- and am immediately discouraged.

They slide on and I get them done up. But the waist is too big. Normal for girl pants, though so I will just deal with it.

Hip area fits just great.

But the legs. Clown pants.

I could fold over a full 2 inches of fabric on each leg!

So I tried the straight leg version of the jeans.

Same problem.

I left the store without any jeans.

The only time I have ever had any luck with jeans was when I wore Wrangler's mens jeans (but I still had that stupid gap waist issue)

Tell me, where do I get a good pair of jeans that do not cost me and arm and a leg because I am not going to spend more than $30 for denim.



Indeed.
