WTF?
So I went and got new jeans this past weekend. I went to the same store that I purchased the enormous jeans a few weeks ago. You know the ones, I have to pull them up every 4 seconds, they are crazy long and bell bottoms. They eat my feet completely and I end up walking on them even when I try to cuff them up.
Well, I went to the store, and found the jeans. I grabbed a size larger than normal assuming that’s what I was wearing, found petite length and headed for the dressing room. On the way I spotted some nice dress pants that I could use as well, grabbed the same size and went to try them on.
In the dressing room, the dress pants were first. They were ENORMOUS! HUGE even! I thought something must be wrong, took them off and decided to try on the jeans anyway to get an idea of how long the petite ones are. The jeans fit perfectly, only slightly longer than I would want. But not as long as the ones I wore into the store. I took them off, double checked the size, and then double checked the size on the dress pants. Yup, both pairs of pants were EXACTLY the same size but one fit better than the other. How can this be? The other strange thing is the jeans that I wore into the store, the ones that are enormous and long, are a SIZE SMALLER than the jeans that I tried on. That’s right, I got my usual size but with giant bell bottoms that are too long and drag on the floor. Those same smaller size jeans, they’re ALSO petite length. They SHOULDN’T be that long! I’m totally confused. Same exact brand of jeans from SAME EXACT STORE and the smaller size is huge, the bigger size is just right….
Until I start to wear them for a day. Yeah, as I wore them, I kept having to yank them up every 4 seconds. I think it’s this new “low waist” nonsense. I haven’t really bought jeans since that trend came into style. I totally prefer the “mom jeans” with the high waist cuz then I’m not feeling like I’m losing my pants with every step I take and every move I make. (hmm…good line for a song!)
Can someone PLEASE explain why the former jeans that were a size smaller are so much bigger than the new jeans that are a size larger?? ANYONE? I’m SO CONFUSED.
