    So I went into this jeans store to find a few pairs of jeans/shorts to take on the honeymoon.  My SIL had told me about a place in the mall to check out. I thought it was this store, turns out it wasn't.

    Anyhoo, I went in the store and picked up a pair of jeans in 2 sizes both short length.  I went in and tried them on.  Both pairs came up to halfway on my butt crack.  And it wasn't because they were too small.  There just wasn't any more material.  So i thought maybe it is because I got the short length instead of the regular length.  I went out to the sales girl and asked her if the short length also meant shorter through the inseam/butt area.  She said "no they are called low rise jeans"  "younger people wear jeans that are called low rise."  "We cater to a younger trend". 

    I told her that I am aware of the "trend" of low rise jeans and I do a jeans of my own that are low rise.  But there is a huge difference in low waist and showing your girly girl parts.

    Needless to say I left the store and won't go back there... since I'm too old to wear their clothing. Haha.  Just had to share my first over 30 story

    There are some stores where they cut their jeans to people with no curves at all.  I don't shop at one store because of that.

    She was probably a teenager with no tack or brains when it comes to customer service.

    American Eagle.  She was in high school so I'm really not mad because she's probably clueless.

    Well, if being "old" means having gained enough wisdom to know not to let your ass hang out- well then call me ancient.

    Wow. I STILL remember, (years ago,) a rude waitress saying "For those of us who ARE over 21..."

    Now I know what to look forward to. ;)

    @eeniebeans- HILARIOUS!

    haha porn pants, i hate those.

    i tried on jeans at american eagle a few months ago and was devastated that what USED to be an 8L that would fit me now required a 13L and it barely covered me, plus was short and dumb looking. I was informed they've changed their target audience but to try Buckle. And don't feel bad--I have NO butt and NO hips and they STILL look ridiculous on me.

    I only shop at Buckle and Banana Republic for pants. Because they make jeans that DON'T look like Mom Jeans, they are of an appropriate rise, and they cover my butt so when I bend over, somebody doesn't get alooksie. Now that i'm not, oh, 18, I prefer mid-rise jeans

    Is this store the one in particular that whiffs out smelly perfume out their stores to attract clients?  Also the same one that was accused of being racist because they only feature Caucasian models?  The same one that has its “clerks” dressed in bikins & shorts stand outside the store so they can attract clients?  The same one that is so dark inside, it feels like you’re in a night club?  The same one that has normal looking t-shirts that costs $50 each? Wink

    Poor teenage sales clerk - you should have just patted her on the head because she doesn't know any better. :) When I was 16 anything over 25 seemed ancient. Now that I'm nearing 30 my parents keep getting younger and younger.

    @ejs- Buckle is the store that my SIL suggested I visit.  I just couldn't remember what she said.

    @eeniebeans- I guess I'm ancient! that's great! :)

    @camrie- I know exactly what you mean. I now grab drinks with mom and her sisters and it doesn't seem like there is an age gap!

    No, really? Why thank you, young lady, for letting me know about this new thing called “low rise jeans”.  I wouldn’t have known since I’ve used these darn corsets and drawers forever. Now you hurry along now and find yourself something called “decorum and manners”. Ask your parents for it, they might know where it is.

    Buckle is great. Be prepared to drop $110 on a pair of jeans though =(. Mine wore out within a year but i wear them a lot. Kinda sad, but they fit so good. I wear the Big Star jeans and after trying on at least 30 pairs in there (no exaggeration), those are the only ones i love.
