I adore the look of these jeans on Angie, Suz, Rae, Una and everyone else who has them. And I have been looking for "my" jeans for a while now. I have a few pair I like, but I don't truly have a pair I want to wear all.the.time.

I PM'd Angie and asked her what she thought of these jeans for a petite apple - I clearly don't have the slim build of the YLFers that sport these jeans. But Angie felt they were worth a try so I went on Amazon to order them. I am between sizes and so was going to order the smaller of those sizes based on discussion with Angie but when I went to order them, they were already sold out. So I decided to try one size smaller than that and here they are.

Let me start by saying the quality of these jeans is fabulous - the weight, the softness of the denim, the stitching, everything. I also haven't owned any button-fly jeans since my Levi's in high school. Unfortunately I was not able to get the 100% cotton version that Suz and Angie have - these do have 2% elastane, but I'm ok with that.

Now some of you may be questioning why I would invest in a pair of not-so-inexpensive premium jeans when I'm on a weight loss/fitness journey. But in talking with hubby before pulling the trigger, I decided I really want to feel good NOW in a pair of jeans and if in 5 months they are too big, so be it. Besides my body is under some stress right now due to my health issues and the weight loss has kind of stalled for now. Without a belt, I can slip the jeans right off my hips but won't mind them a little baggier should I lose some girth.

Please note these are not styled in any way and I simply ripped open the box, took off my cut off shorts after watering the garden and slipped these on. Also note I am not a member of Team Rear so not so worried about the butt view. Oh and what do DH and DS think of them??? DS - "those are great Mom" and DH - "like the view coming and going in those honey".

What do I think? I'll leave that for now and turn it over to you...
