I love my Frame jeans, I hope yours work out. My best jean buying experience was recently in a small boutique shop. I asked the owner what she had for short people and she pulled out the greatest pair of jeans that I never would have been able to find on my own.
I have had the dressing room meltdown SO. MANY. TIMES. Since I work from home, I mostly live in yoga pants. During the summer, I bought a bunch of cute summer dresses. But oh how I love a good pair of jeans. Finding some that fit me without spending a fortune is nearly impossible. They're either too long, or too tight, or too loose, or too something. I thought I'd finally found the right pair at American Eagle, but the more I wore them, the looser they became, until I felt like an unflattering mess. My stomach sticks out, so that's the part of me that is the hardest to dress, and it's even worse in jeans. I still haven't found a good pair that I like. And I actively avoid going shopping because trying on clothes is so triggering to me. I want to get to a place where it's not, but I'm not even close yet.
Oh, yoga pants can be their own challenge! I had the realization the other day that I need to have like a pre-dressing room routine, where I get my mind right before I even go in and then I can practice the calming techniques in the moment.
And I just got a new denim rec. One of my besties texted right after this post went live and told me to check out Judy Blue's denim. I'll admit, I've never heard of this brand, but I just went to the site, and I'm seeing some cute options at decent prices, and they go up to 24W.
I hear you on things not fitting in the right places. One of my daughter has that issue a lot, and she buys so much of her stuff second hand, that it’s doubly difficult. Stretchy is good!

Oh, I so love that for you, Donna. And I never would have guessed you are short. You have a tall presence online!
I love that so much! I have a tall presence, thank you😍 I am carrying this close to my heart.

Ooh! I’m going to check them out, too!
Wishing I had been in the dressing room during the meltdown to support you. You look great!
