Honest, I'm only a little bitchy about this...maybe bitchy is not even the right word....Let me try it this way.....
Dear Old Navy
Let me start out by saying how much I love your store. Wonderful clothing at reasonable prices, and very fashionable. Fashionable in the sense that my kids like shopping there. If I try to take them anywhere else, I get the eye roll and am informed that I have no fashion sense whatsoever. Dramatic emphasis on the 'whatsoever' by the teenage daughter. So, congrats on keeping up or starting the latest and greatest fashion trends.
Now, in the past, I have never been able to look good in your clothes. My fault not yours. I admit that since kids, oh heck, even before having kids, I enjoyed food way to much. Whats not to enjoy when it comes to BACON.
Well, since the fire diet(not recommend for everyone)I have lost 4 sizes! Yes, I look good...not the best yet, but good. And, the best part, I can now wear your clothes! Please note, I am not trying to relive my youth. I had no fashion sense then either. I do not want to be one of those 40 something moms who are trying to look like teenagers. Lets face it, they look ridiculous! And trust me, if I did try to dress like that, I would get major eye rolling from my teenage daughter, more than normal!
I do enjoy the ability to shop in your store and no longer have to shop at Walmart for the cheap crappy jeans. I am not dissing them. I just dont enjoy their jeans. Or at least the jeans that fit me and make me look good. Your jeans make me feel good. I think I look good. My daughter has not looked at me and rolled her eyes at my jeans, so I take that as a good sign. And I don't think I look like a stuffed sausage. God, I HOPE NOT! I think my daughter would tell me.
I love your jeans. I don't buy the skinny ones because I like the ability to breathe and I'm pretty sure my inner organs like staying where they are. If I tried to cram myself into those, I'm pretty sure my spleen would end up north of where it is supposed to be. And I would totally look like a stuffed sausage!
Your stores offer a chart that tries to help me decide my fit. I dont think I'm a 'Rockstar' and I'm not sure what style 'Boyfriend' is, but since I'm married, I skipped that one too. 'Diva', maybe in my own mind but as far as jeans...I have no clue. 'Flirt' is said to fit semi-curvy. I'm not sure what that means, but since I've had three kids and I love Ben and Jerry's, I dont think that one is for me. 'Dreamer' Trims all. I think they call this a dreamer because dream on ladies! If you can actually fit into this, you probably shouldn't. I think people forget, that if you put something on to trim a certain area...well, picture this...take a Brat, and squeeze the bottom part where you would put on jeans. Where does the rest go? UP! MUFFIN TOP! Mine would probably be more like Banana loaf.
'Sweetheart' Curvy. That's the one! Call me curvy...I don't care! I've had three kids and I like food, junk food. I am a woman with sun spots, wrinkles, curves, aches and pains. I am living my life and proud to show it off...well, maybe not all of it :) So I buy three pair!
They are very comfy! and very flattering! (no teenage eye roll) They move well, I can breath, my internal organs are happy, I dont have to lay on the floor and suck in every molecule of oxygen in the room to button or zip! I am happy! wait for it.....except....
Now your store does advertise Woman's Jeans, as does your website. I am a Woman. Yup...I run a house...I have children, pets etc. I am forever bending down, bending over, reaching under etc etc. Like most woman with kids, pets, a house...I am not asking for jeans that go up to my bra line, but I would like to at least get the wash out of the machine without my pants going down....well...we've all seen it. Mom bends over and we get to see it all! Much more entertaining if she's wearing a thong! EWWWW! I know I am not the only woman with this problem. Just look around in any store. Any mom, especially with kids. She bends over to retrieve something or put something back and as soon as she stands back up she's adjusting, looking around hoping that no one saw her underwear. And then, she's hiking her jeans back up where they belong.
If you are selling jeans to woman, please take this into account. We do not sit around all day not moving. We move alot! Not like the commercials, skiing, or sitting in front of a fire, but chasing the cat to keep him from eating string, or wrestling a childs favorite toy from a dog, or on our hands and knees scraping some strange gooey foreign material from the kitchen floor. In the privacy of our own house, its not so horrible. But in public...I have to put items on the bottom of my grocery cart and then retrieve them. I will actually maneuver the cart so that my back is to the items so that I dont have to worry about my butt!
I am sure that I am not the only woman who would like jeans that stay up when we go down. I have enough to do and to worry about especially when out in public. My butt and my jeans are not one of them. Or at least didn't use to be.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. My butt and any unfortunate soul that has to witness me bending down in public, thank you
Sincerely
A Woman
