Next weekend I'll have some extra money, and I DESPERATELY need to go shopping. I hate to buy too much clothing on the journey down because it feels like a waste of money. However, the last jeans I bought were from Maurices-- from their plus size collection--a size 16. I am literally swimming in them. I had to make a new hole in my belt, and even with my belt on tight they're falling off. Needless to say, I can't wait any longer. I look sloppy, and really, all it's doing is making me look bigger than I am.
I used to have a beautifully flat stomach, even though I've I've always been hippy and had bigger thighs. Since I had my twins 4 1/2 years ago and so much weight during and after pregnancy, my stomach is obviously much different. :/ To say the least. I've lost 60 pounds and over 60 inches off my body, but my darn stomach is such a pain. Looking at Maurices size charts, I would wear a 9/10 REGULAR size jeans on my hips...but a PLUs size 18 with my waist measurement. Anyone else really incongruent? Obviously with lower-waisted pants this isn't as much of a problem, as evidenced by my too big 16s...but it's still weird. I wonder if I buy the plus sized 14 to accommodate my waist if they'll be too big on my hips and baggy in the butt?? I wish there was a wider variety in sizes! Guess I'll just have to try them on next week...but of course, after a few hours of wear jeans really feel and look different. Do you think I should get a slightly tighter fit to possibly avoid baggy-butt syndrome???
