(not to be confused with the other pains only women know, like growing out your bangs, having a baby, or shopping for a bathing suit.)
over the past two weeks, i have ordered five – five! – different styles of jeans from gap.com and oldnavy.com in the vain quest for something that: a) fits b) is comfortable and c) looks even vaguely acceptable.
why don't i go to the stores and try them on, you ask? why, because they don't carry petites in the stores, of course. (we are too short to reach the counter to pay? our money is too small? what?) thank god for free shipping and returns.
i've tried gap's classic boot cut, new boot cut, and long and lean (ironically, the best fitting of the bunch). i've tried old navy's "goddess" (the renamed high-waisted mom jeans) and "sweetheart" styles (almost as high and mom-like; old navy's marketing people are geniuses). i've tried curvy fit, straight fit, and stretch denim.
and the verdict is? they all suck rocks. which, coincidentally, is what my ass looks like in them.
so back they go. i'll try again next fall. fortunately, i went through the pain only women know part 5: shorts shopping last summer, so i'm good for a new months.

Have you tried Lands End? I got some cute (albeit FAT) jeans there. I like the way they fit. Of course, they have no version of SHORTS that are like the jeans. One pair of fat chick denim shorts in the whole website. ARGH!!! Last year, all my shorts self-destructed. Even the pair I bought early in the spring, all kaput! I have jeans I wore in high school but now, jeans/shorts can't last one season?? (BTW, the jeans I wore in high school don't FIT anymore, maybe that's why they've lasted so long???)
