You are in the EU, right? Try searching for Pietro Brunelli. Also Gap EU might carry them. Some brands (like Queen Mum) have adjustable elastic in the waste where you can set the tightness on the hips with buttons, much like toddler jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721416 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 08:41:21 +0000 ramya 1721416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid true!! Patterened tights and semi opaque tights it is :)<br />Scarlet I never could fit the maternity jeans you know. The band over stomach never stays:( . Will try again.<br />Una tai I love both!! But I don't have nordstom here. Let me see if I find an equivalent</p> <p>Marble thank you for suggestion. I will try finding them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721407 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 07:22:26 +0000 ma 1721407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clothes shopping in general is such a headache after the baby comes, wishing you good luck!&nbsp;</p> <p>I thought I'd mention that I love Levis jeggings! They are thick like normal denim but stretchy, higher waisted, and have a wide waist band that is very comfy...they, in fact, remind me of maternity jeans like Scarlet suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721396 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 05:54:54 +0000 Astrid 1721396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I would put a lot of energy into looking for jeans now when you know you will have the option of stocking up in India. October isn't that far away, especially if you have two pairs that are still okay. I personally love fall weather to wear skirts and dresses, I just need to add some semi opaque or patterned tights and my oxfords plus a denim jacket, blazer or cardigan if I don't wear a pullover and I'm good to go. Definitely shop for tights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721308 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 00:56:22 +0000 Scarlet 1721308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ramya, not much time to post, but consider some great maternity jeans. No shame in that. I find they suit my shape better until the baby is weaned and hormones change my body shape (again).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721265 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 22:59:09 +0000 catgirl 1721265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lysse-denim-leggings/4089752?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;fashioncolor=INDIGO" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ly.....ort&#038;f</a></p> <p>This brand is FABULOUS.&nbsp; It holds you in and feels great.&nbsp; These will look like denim skinnies as long as you cover the waist.</p> <p>Here's a Spanx version:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/spanx-jean-ish-leggings/4331920?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;fashioncolor=TWILIGHT%20RINSE" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sp.....rt&#038;am</a></p> <p>I would wear these under kurtas too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721247 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 22:12:56 +0000 Angie 1721247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go. That will keep you going. Lets see the WIWs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721218 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 20:56:30 +0000 ramya 1721218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have 1 pair of distressed Jean and 1 pair of Levi's Angie. I like the idea of jeggings and long top look you and Una suggested. Will try to shop for those tomorrow<br /> I do have autumn weight dresses. Not many skirts. Adding tights to shopping list. I also think that I should start WIW once again . Adding it to my to do list </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721210 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 20:45:59 +0000 Angie 1721210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, Ramya. My pleasure.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure you can get by without jeans until end Oct. Try to get at least one pair to tide you over - ask the Euro brigade here to help you out with fit perhaps? Where have you looked so far? Try jeggings with long tops too. (I see Una and I are thinking the same thing).&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, you'll need Autumn weight skirts and dresses - do you have those? Tights, coats and boots are the way to finish them off as the weather gets colder.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721209 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 20:44:50 +0000 catgirl 1721209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I'm going to India in December!&nbsp; Meanwhile, good to see you and I'm going to suggest stretchy thick leggings (worn with tunics)&nbsp;in lieu of jeans - a new mom's best friend, and also good with your smashing boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721207 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 20:41:44 +0000 ramya 1721207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>October end Angie.

I was thinking of skirts and dresses till then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721164 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 18:48:57 +0000 Angie 1721164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all in the cut, Ramya. You CAN find jeans that work - I am sure of it. I'm just not sure how to advise you locally in Norway.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721162 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 18:44:33 +0000 ramya 1721162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit Angie. Either they make my butt look flat. Or the pockets are placed wrong. If the thigh fits waist is loose. And they are miles long on my short legs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1721028 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 14:27:47 +0000 Angie 1721028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ramya, I don't want you to give up on jeans. What is the challenge with fit? You NEED jeans.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-i-do-next#post-1720955 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 11:36:24 +0000 ramya 1720955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Angie and others,</p> <p>This is the classic case of the return of the prodigal child :D. As you know post baby I have been absconding and now I am back. I have lost some weight and have acquired a whole new body type :D. I am still a&nbsp; pear but my butt has flattened off. Jeans the were my staple don't fit me. I am not completely sold by the new cropped flare trend. With short legs finding my sweet spot has been a bane. I have been hunting for new jeans for days now but not with success. With the ridiculous cost of alterations here, I want to now wait for a trip to India where I can easily get denims altered.</p> <p>I do have 2 pair of OK jeans that I can still wear. So I have to now step into new to me area. Dresses and skirts. I have worn dresses a lot in winter because it just means pulling on woolen stockings under them and wearing a smashing pair of boots.With autumn coming in what's the way to wear skirts and dresses?I am at loss help me :(</p> <p> </p>
