Not sure if this is the right place - but, jeans.

Apologize if this isn't quite the right place to post this.

So... my jeans have started to sag after 35 pounds down. It's to the point where I either get an industrial-strength belt or just suck it up and buy new jeans.

I'm not a millionaire, so I'd like to keep them fairly cheap. I have hurricane thighs and a smaller waist/behind (relative to my hips) - can anyone suggest a good store/brand?

    I would also suggest looking at kohls- I have a similar problem as you and have found jeans that fit there.

    Don't know any that are particularly cheap, but you could look at Little in the Middle, or Levi's Curve ID.

    Old Navy (typically there are sales online ALL THE TIME). Great in between jeans.

    So. Much. This.

    There is a certain stigma around thrift store shopping, but I can seriously get really nice, hardly used (sometimes not used at all) name brand clothing for pennies on the dollar of what they'd cost to buy retail.

    If you're still losing weight, and will therefore be constantly re-updating your wardrobe, the cheapest way is most definitely the thrift store.

    i would also suggest a thrift store. if u still have alot to lose u might not want to buy brand new clothes every 20lb it gets costly! i lived at the thrift store my first 50lbs. now i just buy tights since they last through more sizes! if u have trouble finding cuts of jean for your body type any labeled curvy will probably work best!

    Levi's 515. I swear by them. I have a 29" waist and 41" hips/butt (and big thighs). I usually get mine from Kohl's. It also helps me that they come in longs.

    That's what I was thinking. That or a consignment/thrift store since it's a temporary thing and you may work right out of them.

    Old Navy is super stretchy, so buy them a little tight (a hint of muffin top) and wash them inside out, dry them by air, and they will stay stretchy as you lose weight. Don't wash them with every wear, unless you are a sweat factory.

    I also really like Denizen's by Levi for Target. Very flattering. I had a $5 off from using the target pharmacy and I think the reg price is $19.95

    I can't keep in jeans that fit right, and I've given up. I wear fake jeans with spandex until I normalize.

    I've gotten all my favorite jeans from goodwill. Plus spending $30 or $40 on a new pair of jeans in the middle of losing weight will add up.

    I bought all these new pants when I got down to a solid 8, thinking I wouldn't go down another size. Big mistake as they're way too big now. I hadn't even worn a few of them! (This still irks me because I'm frugal and it was such a waste.) I still tend to have to wear a belt with any jeans because if my hips fit then they tend to be a little too wide around the waist.

    Old Navy were my in-between jeans. They have a nice curvy style that doesn't gap too much. I agree about buying the slightly tight size - they stretch a lot.

    I did also get a nice pair from Kohl's - they were Wallflower Curvy Girl jeans. They are juniors, but the fit was surprisingly good.

    I get almost all my jeans at Kohls or JC Penny.

    However, if you are looking to go cheap try Goodwill, craiglist (people sell a lot of clothes on there really cheap), or the Facebook yard sale sites in your area. You can usually find a good bit of cheap but good condition clothes on there.

    This is one thing I was going to suggest. Target is also good for jeans. I have a devil of a time finding jeans that are long enough and fit correctly, but those two places have made it easier.

    The thrift store idea is also a good one.

    get them tailored. I can usually get them fixed for about 5 bucks. I also started to learn how to sew. Most of my clothes look on me like i havent figured out my size.

    I like Old Navy, but I scored a pair of Joe Jeans from a secondhand store for 20 bucks. They are my favorite pair. However, they are starting to get loose :( Thrift stores are fantastic for before, in between and after.
