I previously posted about my love of Forever 21 jeans {they're still going strong after 3+ years without the dreaded crotch rip!}, but while shopping at TJ Maxx last week, I found a pair of jeans that are just as affordable and fit like a glove.Here's how the typical jean shopping scenario goes for me: find several pairs I love, they fit at the hips and thighs, but they're gaping at the waist!I'm on the petite side {5'2} but like most gals, I've got a little bit of hips, thighs and behind. And there's at least a 10 inch difference between my waist and hips, which makes finding jeans tough. But it turns out my luck changed with a pair of $16 skinnies by the brand Jalate.
