In Search for the Perfect Pair

Levi's Curve ID

Why is it so hard to find the "perfect" pair of jeans? I mean, I'm seriously starting to think that "the perfect jean" is actually a myth. They either fit too tight, have a gap in the back, give you a pancake butt, show your crack when you sit or just all together look a mess!

I must admit, once upon a time I did find a nice pair of jeans. I found them years ago at Armani Exchange and bought 3 pairs. I still have two, but they're on their way out. You're probably thinking, "Well, Char just go back and buy them again." No can do. Why? because they've traded my tried and true "plain" jean style for ones that look like they were bedazzled by a 5th grader and splashed with a bucket of bleach. No bueno.

Jeans for days...

So, my boyfriend and I headed to San Francisco -  he had suggested I try Levi's jeans because they started something called "Your Curve ID". Basically, someone measures you and suggests an appropriate "Curve ID" (Slight Curve, Demi Curve, Bold Curve or Supreme Curve)

based on your measurements. 

I took the Curve ID quiz online and found my ID to be "Demi Curve," which matched my measurements done in-store by an associate. Only problem...the Demi jeans didn't fit…

Nothing Fit...

I proceeded to try on the Bold and Supreme Curve jeans. The Bold was too tight in the hip/thighs and the Supreme was too loose. I tried various sizes in each category with no luck. Apparently, Levi's doesn't carry the "Charlene Curve."

Although the customer services was amazing, trying on over 10 pairs of jeans will exhaust anyone. So, the search continues…
