I am an average size and I still have problems getting jeans that fit nicely. I prefer high on the waist. But recently found some in a local boutique shop, called Not Your Daughters Jeans, NYDJ and they were so comfy I immediately bought them, slightly too long, but that can be sorted. Only problem was they were expensive Ł110 and I did act on impulse, having just been paid. Didn't tell the OH though. It is the most money I have spent on an item of clothing other than my outfit for D wedding. Had them a month and only worn them once. I feel guilty which is stopping me from wearing them, stupid isn't it. Next time I am in a city I am going to buy something at a more reasonable price, then I know I would happily wear the jeans without feeling guilty about the cost. How crazy.
