Thank you! :blush: Thinking of buying as a gift for my fashionista kid.

Sizing can be really inconsistent on GV jeans, at least at Kohls. Per the online reviews, even the same Amanda style varies widely in sizing. Conjecture in reviews is that it could vary by manufacturing country. I have bought them at Kohls store (one bright light green pair for about $3 on clearance)… but due to size variation I don’t order them online.

At one point I thought NYDJ jeans length varied greatly. Eventually I realized my tan regular are shorter than my black petite because the tan are actually a cropped style on taller people.

Yes, I ordered some Amanda style GV jeans online from Costco. I ordered a 4,6 and 8. All fit me very similarly. It was very odd.

Quince is wonderful with returns! And always free shipping. I got a cable knit cotton sweater on the one day sale. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

I ordered the Quince pants shown above and really like them. The fit is fine. The only problem is length but I have that problem with all pants.

I bought these pants a few days ago and love them so much I will be buying another pair! I call them “perfect long meeting pants.” They feel like sweatpants but look very professional. For the 5’ 6” me, the lengths is just above the ankle. I am not going to hem them. :slight_smile:

Those look cute! Do they pull on or is there a side zipper?

There is a very thin, hidden back zipper with a hook closure.

I so much prefer hidden zippers and hate the trend of highly visible zippers—they just look tacky.

Are returns free also? I have seen some things there I like, but I’ve been hesitant to order.

With a 27” inseam, they’d be the perfect non-cropped length for me.
The question is, how forgiving are they and would they still look good when I lose another 10-20lbs?

Returns are free! They give you a prepaid return label and I think I dropped mine at a UPS store last time. You can return for up to 365 days (with tags etc). FAQ | Quince

Hard to say how accommodative they could be to weight changes. However, the pants are very stretchy! Hence “long meeting pants.” :slight_smile: I bet you should be able to find them in a store to try on.

Ordered these pants from Athleta and got them today. With the additional 30% off they were only $46. The fabric is lightweight so they are nice casual pants for spring. Very flattering, too.

Those are really cute and look very comfortable. I got a similar (but not as nice) pair at Target last month and they are currently only $25. Very comfortable and fairly lightweight. There are cute half-zip pullover tops that go with them.

I’m on the hunt for some white skinny jeans with some stretch. I have multiple pairs of white pants and also white jeans that are bootcut as well as some that are cropped and wide leg. However, I need to replace just a basic pair of skinny jeans that are ankle length or a little above. If anyone has suggestions, please share!

Old Navy. Specifically, their “rockstar skinny” :slight_smile: .

I like her taste in clothes. Wish I could justify buying a couple of the purses.

I like her tastes also, but I can find many very similar items for much less.

True, though I am a fan of Uniqlo and think their prices are often reasonable. I will use her ShopMy page like an idea board. For instance I may look for a purse like the St. Agni Petit Woven Trapeze Bag. I may not have even considered it in a store at that price, but I think it looks cute.

Thanks! Will check them out.
