I've spent far too much money on jeans from catalog buys: some advertised as 'sits at the natural waist' when they really fit 3 inches below'; others listed as 'sits slightly below the waist' when they really defy the definition of 'slightly'; and those that do fit at the 'natural'waist but are so baggy (or tight) in the hip and thigh that they can't really be sized correctly!
Through the untold number of catalogs arriving in my mail, I've also been introduced to the 'Paris fit'. For those who might not recognize the term, it is a new rendition of 'sits at the natural waist'. By the way, the 'Paris fit' wasn't any more satisfactory than the ones I've already listed.
Finally, I have found jeans that fit-and in an array of colors: sand, black, stonewash, dark blue, gray-even pale colors like yellow. Where? At Kohl's!
I've been in Kohl's only once before as I searched for a reasonably priced, nice looking red purse. But this week I was on the hunt-once again-for jeans...and found them. Made by Gloria Vanderbilt, called 'Amanda', and actually fitting at the 'natural waist' as well as through the hip and thigh...both straight leg and boot cut. And that's just one surprise. The other? They were on sale. It seems that almost everything at this department store is.
Who knew? Probably all of you! But for me, finding jeans at Kohl's was a great experience-a great spring surprise!
