Tummy Tuck Jeans

I just tried on a pair of Tummy Tuck Jeans, and they really do look good. Two things are holding me back from buying them, though:
  1. The ones I tried on cost $100!!!
  2. I've just gone down a size and am planning to go down another, so would rather wait until I've done so to even THINK about spending that much for jeans.

So I bought a couple of $30 pairs of another brand, instead. They're fine. Got colored ones (brown and dark brown), so they'll look dressier than blue for work. And a really adorable top.

Cat and I spent New Year's Eve in the city - just until around 4:30, or so. We walked to Fisherman's Wharf, had a divine lunch at Scoma's, then walked back to Macy's and shopped for an hour or two. We were feeling a bit punk, so didn't do our usual stroll up Lombard Street, and we also skipped Ghirardelli Square. As it was, we walked about 5.4 miles (I wore my pedometer). Cat found a COSMIC dress at Macy's. Which she bought. It was getting crazy crowded on Powell Street - like Disneyland in the summer - by the time we headed for BART.

$100 for a pair of jeans that make you look & feel great isn't that bad, really. although i've never been able to spend more than $90 on a pair of jeans myself. but i love those jeans and wear them constantly!

you could probably hold out for a sale.

If I don't plan to be in a size very long, I buy jeans from Walmart. Besides, Walmart jeans tend to fit me better than most more expensive jeans. One of my favorite pairs of jeans are Faded Glorys. I also like Levis 515 boot cut - those are the jeans I practically live in, and I need to get a fresh pair.

The "Tummy Tuck" jeans probably will go on sale, though, and they might be worth $70 or $80 to you when you get to the next size down. Assuming, of course, you plan to stay that size awhile.
