Shopping for Jeans: Nightmare or A Breeze?

Do find yourself in a cold sweat or have a panic attack just thinking about shopping for jeans? Well, you are not alone, I dread even the mention of jean shopping. I have nightmarish flash backs to the days when the skinny jean was very popular. There were not just hours spent looking for the right pair, but days, yes days searching for that pair. Do you know how hard it is to fit a large booty into skinny jeans? I mean with out looking like I'm wearing pillow for a behind? That was the moment I swore I will never fall for the latest hype/trend when it comes to the perfect pair of jeans. Did I stick to this promise, well not exactly, or at least not till I had my first baby.

Having a child not only changes your life, but it brings a whole new challenge when it comes to jean shopping. You will find your self in a dressing room crying over the fact you now know what a muffin top is. Let me tell you it is not as pretty as the muffin top you may love to eat for breakfast! At this point I needed to just find jeans that did not have a huge elastic band or ones that made me look like a stuffed sausage. I sure did not want to spend $ 100 bucks for the latest Seven or Lucky jeans; just to have them not fit in 6 months.

So, where do I look for that perfect pair of jeans? You will be shocked to discover I found myself shopping the "Softer Side of Sears." Yes, that is correct, I went shopping for something other than a socket wrench at Sears. While I was walking through Sears to get to the REAL mall I spotted this great sale on Jeans. Guess what, they were actually cute, with dark colors and hot looking pockets that would make my pillow look smaller. So, my post baby body decided to try on a pile of Sears' own brand name jeans on. It was amazing, the jeans fit, they even flattered my muffin top and my behind (aka the pillow). I was so impressed with Sears and their jeans I went back a few months later to purchase a smaller size! How could I not, when they originally cost $19.99, but were on sale for $14.99!!

In the post below are a few jeans you can now find at Sears. Next time Shop the "Softer Side of Sears"!
