I lost a lot of weight and have finally got down to where I want to be my whole life - I stand at 5'10 - my weight is teetering right at the edge of 140/and high 130s. I've never been happier with how I look. My thighs are way thinner now, I'm down to 8's and 6's at some stores, and sized shirts are (holy crapness!) 4's at some stores.
I thought I was FINALLY ready to take the plunge and try on some skinny jeans at Express. NOPE. As soon as I tried them I realized that no matter how much weight I lost I'm never going to change the genetic trait that has been passed from my grandmother, to my mom, to me, and god knows how many generations back it goes... THOSE HIPS!
I'm sure they'll look sexy in the first ever bikini next summer but they're just not going to work in the skinnies for me.... It gave me a very unflattering tapered shape... I'm trying to think of a good way to describe it but the precise way to portray it is hard to come up with... Let me conjure up this image for you... With my long legs in those skinny jeans, it was a lot like a very lonngggggg isosceles triangle. It doesn't help that I have absolutely no ass. It was a major disappointment for me.
I have no doubt that girls with a fantastic butt can totally work em!
