This being said, my primary shopping mode is thrifting, and while thrifting I have found many pairs of jeans, that I like and wear, a lot even... But! I have never found that perfect, that beautiful, that Holy Grail of favorite jeans.
The only place, that have ever found the perfect pair of jeans, is Buckle.com. I get a little quiver of relief just thinking about it. Buckle has roughly 1,000 separate styles of jeans for women alone. This may seem daunting. However, someone invented the most wonderful search engine and each category narrows your search, bringing you closer to possible perfection. Simply by choosing "non stretch" the choices jump from roughly 1,000, to exactly 131. I kid you not. Hit a button, and the jeans all flip over and show off their rear ends. That's right, so you can rule out all of the pants with those stupid flaps over the back pockets that will never again lie that flat, but will instead, curl up all over the place, and completely ruin your line.
My last pair of favorite jeans, succumbed last Thursday to a fatal hole, from which there is no return. Today, my new pair of favorite jeans arrived in the mail.
Unfortunately, I failed to realize that the 20 inch leg opening meant flare jeans, and I hate flare jeans. I have no one to blame but myself. Back they go, this time, remember to choose the 18" leg opening.
If this post seems shallow to you, slip into your favorite pair of jeans, or better yet, toss them out, and then you tell me.

Oh yes...you and I are quite like minded.
Funny because just this moment as I was stepping from the bath, on my mind was......"I really need to find a new pair of jeans".....
Must have caught your vibes through the open window, even if it was yesterday :)
Hey! there is nothing wrong with my panties thank you very much!
lol, I know what you mean. Hope you get the perfect pair this time round.
Oh Katie girl, I do understand the jean dilema but alas I do like the SPANDEX because it keeps me, in my 50 plus year old body, from having to buy jeans that come up to my nipples. Gone are the days when I could buy a pair of brand new 501s (embarrassing as they were in their new state) and wear them out until no tomorrow. I mean if you got a hole you patched with some scrap fabric and kept on a wear'in. Those were the cool jeans.
Currently my favorite pair of jeans has lost the top brass button and I am wearing them saftey pinned together at the top! Did I mention how old I am? Is that tacky or what? Plus it makes peeing a real chore. Bought Melonie a pair last week at the mall. It only took 2 hours and $100.00.
