Since I have never owned a pair, only tried them on that is the best I could go by. After getting the Levi's and seeing how thick the fabric is compared to the NYDJ, I'm glad I did not buy the NYDJ's.</p> <p>I will have to see how they hold up after washing. I usually wash all my jeans in cold water and air dry so they keep their color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-introduction#post-198952 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:12:05 +0000 Tricia 198952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Peggy, and welcome!</p> <p>I am another big fan of the Levis 512s. I have several pairs in different lengths.</p> <p>I tried a pair of NYDJs a few years ago and they fit wonderfully for about five minutes and then stretched out to about ten times their original size. I had to give them away. The 512s, so far, have not done that at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-introduction#post-198949 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:07:12 +0000 Michelle 198949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum, Peggy! Glad to have you on board. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-introduction#post-198763 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:51:13 +0000 Lynne 198763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Peggy and Andrea! Thanks for the jeans tip. I've tried NYDJ and didn't think they lived up to their claims? Maybe it was just the pairs I tried on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-introduction#post-198753 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:40:24 +0000 Isabel 198753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Peggy !! Welcome to you and your little dude ( who is adorable, by the way )/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-introduction#post-198751 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:27:48 +0000 Peggy Sturman 198751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome and kind words.</p> <p>MsMaven, yes it's a pretty long day. We get up at 4:30 a.m, get Liam up at 5:45, out the door at 6, drop off baby at day care (luckily it's right around the corner) and then up to SF. The good news is my hubby also works in SF (about 5 minutes driving from where I do) so he drives and I sleep. We drop him off at work and then I drive over to my work (a nice perk I have is a parking space across from my building). With all that being said I have really taken to honing outfits that look cute but I can throw together, AKA my work uniform, which more often than not is a wrap dress, brown or nude fishnet tights, knee-high boot, hair up with either a scarf or flower and my messenger bag (which I am looking for a new one).</p> <p>In regards to the Levi's Slimming Jeans, I had been really wanting a pair of Not Your Daughter's Jeans. Until I could get a pair I did get a pair of the Lee slimming jeans. They are fairly nice for the price, but not quite the NYDJ's as far as fit. A few weeks ago I read an article in Smart Shop magazine on jeans (awesome article):</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopsmartmag.org/files/Good_jeans.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopsmartmag.org/files/Good_jeans.pdf</a></p> <p>One jean they really liked was the Levi's 512 Perfectly Slimming jeans. So I ordered a pair from Zappo's. I will say they run small. I had not tried them on in the store so I ordered in my usual size 10. They were a little too tight, so I exchanged for a 12 and they fit great (I should have read the Zappo's reviews because a few people do mention these run small). They fabric is nice and thick (more so than NYDJ and the Lee's I currently have). The back pockets are really cute. And best of all, they make my butt look smaller. Even hubby noticed and commented how good they good. On Zappo's they are $39.99. I believe they come in straight leg or boot cut. I ordered the boot cut. If you are looking for a slimming type of jean and don't want to pay an arm and a leg check them out.</p> <p>I hope this didn't turn out to be too chatty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-introduction#post-198721 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 09:25:52 +0000 motherofms 198721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Peggy and Andrea!

I live in Everett, WA and own a business in Seattle. 40 years old, married and proud "mom" to three dogs. I show and on rare occasion breed dogs and am a dog trainer by profession. One of the fun things for me about showing is dressing up! </p> <p>Since my professional life actually requires practical, casual clothing I love getting to put on dressy shoes and jackets. My most recent acquisition which I cannot WAIT to wear is a super cute hip length blazer with bracelet length sleeves. B/W with lots of different patterns. Very unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-introduction#post-198482 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:43:51 +0000 Sparky 198482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Peggy and welcome!
