A subject close to my heart!

Well done on your weight loss Veronica!

My advice would be the same as Cailins: go to a specialist jeans shop and get them to fit you.

Straight jeans are apparently "in" at them moment (ie not skinny, not bootleg.) which I am happy about as the are flattering to most shapes and all your boots/shoes go well with them!

I went to Trims (in SA, not sure if they are everywhere?) and got fitted and found "my perfect jeans". But there were SO expensive, so I did a sneaky. I bought them, took them home, took all the measurements exactly (rise/inside leg/outside leg/waist/hips etc etc) and then got a "clone pair" made. So I got two pairs exactly the the same in the end, but the second pair was a lot lot lot cheaper.

Good luck! A pair of well fitting jeams are a joy to wear......
