When I recently went shopping for new jeans I was disappointed in my findings. Fashion had changed yet again, and the styles I liked were no longer available. I found a couple of things that worked, and I even liked (one of) them, but nothing I was wild about.

| What I like From Amazon.com |
Then, I happened by chance across exactly the style I like. Online.
Normally I don't buy clothes that I can't first try on. But I liked the look of these, they were a good brand, and they were inexpensive. Hey, if I could do free returns with refunds, I was willing to give it a few tries to find jeans that I will adore.
Then I noticed something: they were juniors jeans.
I had obviously been shopping in the wrong aisle. Not only do the juniors have what I want, they cost less too.
Since I'm buying online (I don't want to wander down the junior aisle in a real store...I just don't) there was a little trial and error in figuring out my size. But I finally got a pair today that fit. Now I just need to wash and hem them.
Since these still need a bit of work I may be counting my eggs before they're laid, but I am pleased. Very pleased.

There's nothing worse than an ill-fitting pair of jeans so I'm glad you discovered the right aisle for you!
Jeans are difficult to buy. When I find a pair that fits well, I purchase all the colors they have. And about junior sizes... Well, I have a very short torso, so all my short sleeve shirts are usually junior. Oh yeah, and tiny boobs, too lol
Debra -- The pants I got before aren't exactly ill fitting, they're just *different* fitting from what I like.
Magaly -- I like jeans in just regular denim style, but I've been known to buy two identical jeans when I found something I really like. I'm not sure how I would do with buying junior tops though...it's not like I'm super well endowed, but I doubt junior shirts are designed for what I've got. Then again, maybe I'm wrong. :)
