While I love a good black skinny jean, I absolutely hate shopping for jeans. Well, I'm not a fan of shopping for pants, in general. I always have the issue with them being too long and the waist always gaps. *sigh*
However, I have found a few brands I love {Forever 21, Hudson and Rock & Republic for Kohl's!}, and if you're still struggling, here are a few tips to use when shopping for jeans. These are the fitting room do's and don'ts of denim shopping.

I'm a little more than half way through my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge and people always ask if I miss shopping for brand new clothes. And I usually say no. Thrift stores have provided me with every item, whether it's trendy or classic, that I need. But there are some things I've been missing: Forever 21 jeans. I can walk past Macy's, H&M or any boutique with no problem, but Forever 21 tempts me every time. Let me explain...

As much as I love a flirty dress, I adore skinny jeans, especially black ones. They're a simple canvas you can dress up or down in minutes. And since I love jeans so much, I've worn them in a ton of brands, from Seven to Citizens of Humanity to Joe's and more. But I find they all share the same characteristic: the dreaded crotch rip. You know what I'm talking about. It's when your jeans start to rip and get frayed from the friction of your thighs.
