Boyfriend Jeans Are Not For Me...But Blazers Are!

So, after a lovely weekend with my mom, I have decided, I just don't think boyfriend jeans are for me. I've tried GAP, Current/Elliott, Banana Republic, Old Navy and Madewell.

After my plight, my husband finally said to me, "Babe, not all jean styles were meant for everyone." He may have a point. Just maybe.

Here's a quick review of a few pairs at just a few stores...

Madewell Boyfriend Jeans

For those of you who are near a Madewell, their boyfriend jeans, like many others, run enormous. Again, I know they are supposed to be a relaxed fit, but I don't want to propose a search and rescue mission for my butt.

I tried on a 25 at Madewell and they fit the best out of lot, but not enough to make a purchase. I must say though, the new Madewell store in Charlotte is very nice.

GAP Destroyed Boyfriend Jeans

I tried on a 0 today and while they fit much better than a 2, they just didn't look great. the 2 had too much slouch, the 0 not enough. Plus, I was not digging the whiskering on the front.

Old Navy Weekend Jeans

The 2 fit ok, but nothing groundbreaking. I looked sloppy, not trendy.

So, for now, I give up my search. I did, however, score a gorgeous white blazer from Banana Republic, on sale PLUS my 30% off...I only paid $52 for that puppy. Here she is! I went with a size 0 and it looks great.

How was your weekend? Any shopping successes?

I woke up to the following email with a code (that is not included here)...

Whoever is devising the online marketing for Banana Republic is intelligent. Way to go. This is a fun way to encourage people to head to BR's website, shop around long enough to add something to their bag and check their promo code. I did it, but I admit I'm a sucker for a deal.

I didn't purchase anything, as my code was only worth $15, but if you want a free $15 credit for Banana Republic online, valid today through July 12, email me! The code is only good for one customer, so it's first come first serve. The only caveat is that you must post a comment detailing your purchases! Everyone loves a little shop and tell.
