Kristin and I went out at lunch time today to a local denim store called Sargent Blue Jeans. They are an amazing little shop run by two ladies and all they carry are jeans - rows and rows of them. But you don't go wandering around the shop digging through stuff. They meet you at the door and ask what you are looking for and they bring them to you to try on.

I have BF jeans (two sizes in Gap Sexy and one Kut from the Kloth Catherine on the way), one pair of Wit & Wisdom skinnies, a pair of Reitmans dark wash straight leg, red ones that are about to be dyed Bordeaux, white straight leg, and the bootcut flares I'm wearing today. I wanted a pair that I can wear to Denim Day Fridays at work, wear with blouses either untucked or tucked with belt and could dress up or down.

I told them my size and said I wanted mid rise, darker wash, no fading, no back flap pockets and straight leg. The SA helping me flitted around that store like a Tazmanian Devil, grabbing this, that and the other and kept flinging them over the door of the change room.

With each pair I put on, she would have me come out and we would review the jeans together - they all technically fit (she was spot on in sizing) but many were wrong for various reasons.

Then she flung a pair of Silver jeans over the door and said to try these - I promptly mentioned that they had some fading, back flap pockets and seemed to be lower rise than what I was wanting. She agreed but urged me to try them on anyway saying now that she's seen how jeans fit and she knows my body a bit better, she believes these will be "the ones". So to humour her and see if she was right, I slid them on. Oh my...they fit but are not snug, the flap pockets are perfectly placed so that my behind looks upright and perky; the rise is lower but holds everything in beautifully and there is absolutely no muffin top; the fading is at least placed decently and does not make my thighs (front or back) look larger. In fact, these jeans make me look long and lean. The denim is substantial. They are a bootcut and I said I thought from the knee down they were too wide but once she pinned up one leg to a proper hem length, that excessive flare disappeared and they are straight. Needless to say, I bought them.

I have to wash them and then get them hemmed - still deciding on what heel height - so don't have a picture for you. You'll just have to trust me. Here's a link to the brand though. I paid a little more for them in store but still very reasonable.

The reason I titled this "being cheeky" is two fold - my "cheeks" looked good in the jeans (lol!) and I'm not posting these as a Keep/Return because I love them, felt amazing in them and don't want to be told if they are wrong for me - in this instance, ignorance is bliss!!!

P.S. Got rid of my Gap Long & Leans - tired of the saggy butt I end up with at the end of the day.
