One More Jean Question

lsubatgirl · Gucci

How likely is it that you will lose the 10-15 pounds? I mean that could thrown you down yet another size since you always order these jeans one size smaller than you should do to stretching. I mean if you are really serious about the weight loss and its only going to be another couple of months I'd wait. I've seen how much 10-15 pounds off of me has changed my clothes and I couldn't imagine shelling out that much money on something that might not fit once I get down to my true size. In a matter of months I went from a 10 to a 8 and now I'm in a 6 in pants and skirts (not dresses due to boobs

)

I'm not trying to stop you from getting your dream jeans, I'm just trying to point out the dramatic weight loss and size changes you are wanting to do.

I lost 30 pounds last year (January) and went from a size 12 to a 6. I did this in a matter of 4 months. I kept the weight off until recently I happen to put on a couple pounds, (Thanks to the Holidays!) I bought a pair of pants I loved in a size 8, paid $150. I tried them on every two weeks. Once I got to that size, I decided I'd lose some more. I'm pretty confident I can lose the weight in a couple of months. One thing about it, most stores will let you exchange items as long as the tags are attached. If I decide to order them, I'm going to get a smaller size then what I would need now.

I feel ya on the chest thing. I wear a 34D and when I go to try on dresses I really start thinking that my chest and my waist do not go together.

I purchased the COH Ingrid Flare Stretch, Caspian jeans over the weekend and I got a 28. I'm a size 4/6.
