How to pick proper fitting/flattering jeans [with pics!]
I think this blog article is amazing, I hope it hasn't been posted before. Here's the link and some pics to show you what she does:

And she also has a plus-size jeans version here:

See that first pic? The funnel effect?
That is exactly why I can't wear skinny jeans. Ever.
Never.
Beause my thighs look just like that in skinny jeans.
Skinny jeans are NOT for everyone- I don't care what anyone says

But if you wear skinny jeans with tall boots, you don't get that funnel effect  I have larger thighs, trust me, I know!
ETA I don't even think the model in the first pic looks that bad at all, size wise. The jeans themselves are terrible! Too long and bunched at the ankles and knees

I have to try that. I really do.
I never called it the funnel effect- I called it the ice cream cone effect- but same idea.
I hate my thunder thighs!! No matter how thin I am my thighs are always larger.
I think I carried DD in my thighs for 9 months!

Re: How to pick proper fitting/flattering jeans [with pics!]
She actually covered that subject too
What I found interesting was about the pockets on the butt and how to evaluate the right size and placement for your shape.
Now I just have to FIND the jeans that look good!

Ditto! My thighs are by far the thickest part of my body and I love skinny jeans!

I don't think anyones pants looked flattering on them and I think it's due to they were all wearing some sort of oddly tight granny panties that made thier butts look horrible! You can even see the panty lines strangling the under butt cheek.

Re: How to pick proper fitting/flattering jeans [with pics!]
This is exactly me! I am short 5'2" thinner side of average & I am shapely. I have curvey hips & a butt. My thighs are larger bc of my hips & I have thin calves. I own 1 pair of skinny jeans that I can pull off but its only with knee high boots. I always wear flares & preferably with 4+ inch heels Thats what flatters my body type.

Re: How to pick proper fitting/flattering jeans [with pics!]
Is it terrible that the whole pocket size/placement thing is making me notice other people's butts and what they're doing wrong? 
I need to go jeans shopping myself now!
