Fit Your Jeans!

Omaha back pocketWe all know it’s all about fit.  Tops, bottoms, dresses, jackets and but what about fitting our favorite jeans.

About 4 months ago we had one of our fabulous clients walk back to my office and show me her newest addition…a pair of Tru Luxe jeans she had picked up while on holidays.  She said they were a perfect fit for her and believe me…they were fantastic complete with bling on the pocket and the ideal style for her body.  She looked amazing!  With a bit of research and an email to California we found them!

Our first order has arrived and they are flying out the door, three days ago I was placing another order after only having them in the store for less than a week!  This is a complimenting and fabulous addition  to the great brands of jeans we already offer you at the store.

I was on the Tru Luxe website recently and see that they have put together a fabulous guide to body shapes and styles that work.  I thought I would share their information with you…..

So What’s Best For My Shape?

One thing is for sure….we are a multitude of shapes and sizes, and then there is even morphology to add to the mix.  I had to look up that word years ago…it means body shape.  You know, when the size guide says you should fit size B according to general statistics but actually your into a C because you carry all your weight in your derriere (like me).  Anyone who has tried on a pair of Spanx knows what I mean.

I had Gil take a picture of myself and Jocelyn…We are pears…..Jocelyn is just a much younger, slimmer pear…those were the days….sigh.
