I’m a Levis girl too! I’m right in the middle of regular and petite. Short is often a fraction too short and medium length often requires stilleto-height-heels to not drag on the ground, but I often find a good pair of levis. I love 515s and more recently 529 seemed to work. Oh! And they now put like 2% of stretch material in them so you can buy a smaller size and they fit more snuggly without muffin topping you!
Oh I adore you Levis!

I get mine at Macy’s and Kohls. FYI.

Aren’t they great? I’ve been wearing levi’s for decades. NO ONE else makes jeans that fit someone so short (I’m shorter than you) except Land’s End will hem them to fit, so try them, too.

I might have been a little loopy and loco last night, but I remember our convo about how awesome Penney’s can be for basics and accessories. Now I will also have to also go see the softer side of Sear’s! I am pretty much over being a slave to J.Crew, Banana, etc. and want to balance out the funky finds with high quality low cost basics. Thanks for the tips, because you always look fab.

Thank you soo much for this post. I, too, am 5 feet and HATE jean (or even pant shopping for that matter). I’ve had some luck with JC Penney’s petite dept. Will have to keep Sears in mind too!

See you tomorrow night!

LOL, I can relate. I’m 5’4, which I thought was *normal* but all regular jeans are too long and most petites are just a smidge too short. So I buy too long jeans to wear with heels and too short jeans to wear with flats. None are perfect, but I guess they’re good enough.

Glad you got your perfect pair!
