I was looking for something nice but still affordable. I bought 2 pairs of Buffalo jeans and I think they're awesome. What's your favourite brand of denim?

Denim
One thing I loved about maternity clothes were the elastic waistbands, I didn't realize how much I liked them until I had to use a zipper again once Petra was born. I've been progressively losing weight since then and now my pre-pregnancy jeans are so baggy that I don't have to undo them to take them off, if I take my belt off, they just fall off. They look sloppy and messy. I went shopping today for new jeans but I didn't want to spend too much in case I lose or gain more weight over the next few months.

Anything with 1-2% Lycra :)
ReplyDeletePrior to that I loved Calvin Klein jeans but could only find them in the US.
Not that you have this issue Gina, but I am ... short :) So, I typically buy Gap or Old Navy jeans in Ankle length.
ReplyDeleteBut I agree with you Michelle... stretchy denim all the way!
One of these days I want to buy a designer pair that gives you a butt lift!

I refuse to pay more than $60 for a pair of jeans ($300 jeans? Are they nuts?). But not all jeans are alike, as we've seen. I tend to stick to Levi's. I'll wait for them to have a sale (good luck!) or get them at Sears/The Bay (more sales, but crappier tones, usually). There's also a Levi's outlet store at the Dixie Value Mall (Dixie/QEW) in Mississauga, but the common sizes in the good styles go fast so you have to hope they've just received a shipment before your visit. Dunno what Levi's are like for women... I tend not to notice the label while I'm appreciating the butt lifts. :P
ReplyDeleteHi Gina, congrats on the weight loss! I too decided to invest in new jeans, I found great ones at Old Navy for $39.99, "Diva" in size 4!!!!! Yay!!! Anyway, they look pretty hot, they have so many different styles, I actually enjoyed myself for a change.
ReplyDeleteI've got to say, I really enjoy the way Gap jeans fit (specifically the CURVY style) as I have some hips to fit!
ReplyDeleteI once bought a pair of Sevens I found at Winners - and they were delicious. But I gave them away when I gained some weight. Now I wish I still had them :(
I also love Gap jeans, I've looked and looked and looked but I keep going back to them. After losing my preggo weight, I wanted to treat myself so I tried on a pair on Citizens of Humanity ($200) - then I went to the Gap and put on a pair of Boot Cut. Same butt lifting effect, same comfort, for $50.
ReplyDeleteI also have good luck with Gap, and recently, Reitmans, if you can believe it! The Reitmans one are a little higher waist than I'd like, but for a pair of 'transition' jeans, the price was great and they look pretty good, too. I've never really bought a NICE (ie: expensive) pair of jeans, but I might think about it once I'm back to where I wanna be, weight-wise.
ReplyDeleteI've just been inspired to go try on some Gap jeans this weekend! I desperately need some transition pants and Joe doesn't cut it when it comes to jeans.
ReplyDeleteBut after that, I'm totally going to splurge on a pair of Citizens. My butt loves them ;-)
I second Lindsay on Reitmans jeans, my 3 newest pairs of jeans are from there and I'm fairly frugal so the price point works very well :)
ReplyDeleteGap is good for me too because they do long lengths. My legs are actually not as long as you would expect based on my height, I'm body tall.
ReplyDeleteI have an old pair of Citizens and a pair of James jeans and they're both awesome but way too pricing for transition body :) I haven't checked Winners though.
I think you should all look at Buffalo, I got one pair at Jean Machine (as if I ever thought I would go into a store called Jean Machine) and another at Medecino's. They look designer (in my opinion).
I haven't tried GAP yet, I'll check it out on Monday :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Reitmans comment. I refuse to spend a ton of money on a pair of jeans in a size that I do not wish to stay. They have a style called "Comfort" fit in boot cut and they do great things to help deflate the muffin top.
ReplyDeleteI also like the Gap's Long and lean jeans (though I am definately not long and lean)... I will get another pair once I lose some of the baby chub!
