The search for a new pair of jeans is never an easy one.
Combine that with long legs, wide hips and a tiny waist and it because pretty
much impossible. Luckily after many shopping trips – poor me :p – I found two
pairs that fit me like a glove. These are my perfect pairs of jeans and how I found
them.
I needed two pairs of jeans: a
simple blue denim and a high wasted black jean. After weeks of perusing all
confection stores, I took my search to Maastricht. It’s a town right over the
Dutch border and pretty much the place to be to buy shoes and pants. I left the
confection stores behind and looked in somewhat more expensive stores. I
started out in Men at Work. Unfortunately, they had a lot of statement pieces
rather than the classic jeans I was looking for. After that I made my way to
Levi’s where I was served by a girl who liked her own voice a lot more than her
customer’s. So, safe to say, that was a bust as well.
Luckily, I found my perfect fit
blue jean in the G-Star store. The staff was super nice, listening to what I was
looking for and looking for pairs of jeans accordingly. They also sat my very
tired mom down with a little something to drink. It’s always good to pamper the
one with the bank card :p.
Anyways, back to the jeans. After trying many a pair, I choose 3301 Contour High Skinny in the size W28 L32. I usually go for measure of length 34, but the jeans were exceptionally long as they were so that wasn’t necessary. The jeans are mid waisted. They are exactly what I was looking for. A plain skinny mid waisted denim.
The next pair of jeans I bought,
well actually a lovely friend did, at Levi’s. Despite the constant screaming in
my ear by the girl who was helping me in the store in Maastricht, I did manage
to find I pair I liked. Sadly, they didn’t have them in black. I asked another
shopping assistant to write down the jeans’ number and my size and I took it to
another Levi’s store.
Sadly, the jean was not in the
Hasselt store either and was out of stock completely. However, the shopping assistant
called different stores all over the country and finally found my jeans in a
store in Wijnegem shopping center. (That’s about a one-and-a-half-hour drive
away!) And this is where the lovely friend comes in. J I used to go to college in
Antwerp which is near Wijnegem. So I called a friend up and he was willing to go
and pick it up for me! Thaaaaaanks Gieltje!
At last, I had my perfect pair of
black jeans. I went for the Mile High Super Skinny jeans in black. The size I hot
was W26 L34. The waist is high enough so I can wear my cropped tops and
blouses, but it’s stretchy enough so they don’t hurt my stomach when sitting
down. Now let’s hope they don’t lose form as quickly as my other black jeans
did! J
