Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reading the reviews, I bought a size 16 which is up a size from my regular size 14. I'm so glad I did! First, I didn't realize exactly what Skinny Jeans meant (I'm a 45yr old mom of Boys who hates shopping, so I'm a bit behind). When I got them and tried them on, y'all would have laughed your eyes out at me! I was doing the "WTH-Dance" around my room while extending my legs out in all directions trying to figure out why the heck these things were so tight on my calves! Once I got over the initial shock, I realized in horror that I also have no clue how to WEAR these things! I tried on flats (don't do it!! U look like an upside down bowling pin!) and then Heels (again, unless you are 16 or 21-forget it! I was told in the most loving way by my 15yr old son that I looked like I was "trying too hard") and came to the sad conclusion that I might have to return them. Which bummed me out because they really ARE Comfy and they go high enough that they hid the evidence of having said loving 15yr old (and 17yr of and 21yr old). All was NOT lost!! I was ready to go to dinner with my 17yr old and his Girlfriend (bless her!) and noticed she was wearing her size 0 jeans tucked inside her Knee high Boots(she's sweet, beautiful, smart, and a size 0-I cant shoot her because she's 17. She's allowed to be all that). I took a glance at her and as we were walking out the door, I hollered "HOLD UP!!!" So, I raced back inside, threw off the jeans I had on, got into these Jeans (allowing 2 minutes for my mini "WTH dance and leg stretches") and put on my Knee High Boots and came out asking her "Ok, BE HONEST! I won't shoot you for giving me an honest answer (she is blissfully unaware of the other reasons I want to shoot her). Am I Trying too hard and/or do they make my Butt look too big?!" (to which my son's promptly yelled at her "DON'T DO IT, IT'S A TRAP!" After I was done glaring at the boys with the "I cook your food and have an evil sense of humor"look, she said "Wow, No! Those look amazing on you! They hug your butt just right, which is what you want! The boots with heel also add that nice lift!" (Which prompted gagging noises from the boys. I've got a nice spaghetti dinner spiked with Tabasco sauce planned for them). So, for all the Moms out there- These Jeans look great on us provided you get a size up (if u like a snuggle fit on your waist and are a middle size then go down) and know they are nice and stretchy too so if you feel you have to puke because they are too tight in the waist-keep it in for about 30 mins because they loosen up (or you actually puke which give you more room anyway -win win) and Wear with Boots!! You will look like you are stylish, have a "cute butt" (if it horrifies your kids-again I say- win win!!), all without trying too hard!!! I'm getting a pair in black too!!! ps- I don't own a gun and I'd never ruin a perfectly good meal. My kids are safe from everything except water and too much garlic!
