Bostonsmama, what a great story, and incidents like this are precisely what I mean. Sometimes, all it takes is one thing to be off for the whole plan to fall. In your case it's the weight change. And you are right: sometimes last minute changes like this one offers a new combination that is a fresh take on something we love; yet sometimes it just.... doesn't work. Yet one would have thought that the very good jean fit would have arranged it all... and it didn't.
BTW laugh at me all you want, me too am struggling with butt-weight loss, which is an unwanted loss because it greatly affects the fit of a lot of my jeans and pants, and even some skirts. Mind you I am not what you would call stick thin, and I do work out. So... I have started using (I know, I know) a bootie booster girdle. I had bought it about two years ago in a moment of brain absence while shopping for tights, and the SA praised it as the latest genius invention: a panty with two inside pockets containing pads, just like those of a push up bra (only a push up panty, so larger). I had tried it a couple of times at home but misplaced the pads too high and thought it looked ridiculous - which it indeed, with this placement, did. I felt really bad for the $ spent on it and hid it far away at the bottom of my drawer. Lately, I decided to give it a second try, because why not, and played around with the pads. I tried placing them where a butt would protrude, and put on some skinny jeans... to my dismay, instead of making me look fat or slapping an awkward sudden kardashian simulacrum under my face like I had thought, it gave me a sexy, tight-looking behind, slimming my legs and tummy in comparison. So I rediscovered this tool. I don't use it all the time, but it is useful for tighter fitting clothes and I thought I'd share it with you.
