New Jeans and Lord & Taylor

I'm picking Cutie up at school and I notice that I have a huge rip in my jeans exposing my butt. Yes, I think it's time for new jeans. But those were perfect summer jeans (so thin you could see through them) and only 10 years old. Then I realized. I haven't bought jeans in a very long time. My youngest pair is eight.

Off the the Mall. First to H&M. Hate shopping for jeans there. It's a pain. Nothing is organized. All the styles and sizes are mushed together. Then to Lord & Taylor. I love L&T. Everytime I go to L&T I find something. Earlier this summer is was three pairs of sandals. Now two pairs of jeans. I told a friend I bought new jeans and she asked me what kind. I really didn't know so I answered the kind that fit.

I have to remember to tell her they are Lucky Brand (wide leg - size 25/0) and BCBG (size 27). I'm not sure that's good or not. I don't trust the size thing anymore. So I went to look at my other jeans. My youngest is Seven (8yo - size 28) and my 10yo twins (2 pair the same - size 4) are Deisel. I have a Gap in there - but the're not that comfortable.

Regarding the sizes - they are a big lie. I'm a size 40 European and that translates into an 8. They like to make fat Americans feel better by making smaller size larger than they should be. Gotta love marketing.
