Finding the PERFECT pair of jeans – you know the kind – the ones that make you feel sexy, slim, confident – is not an easy task! I have one go to pair that has seen better days… that’s why I am heading over to Bryant Park on Friday to get myself a pair of Levi’s CurveID jeans – FREE!! (well, in exchange for something that doesn’t fit – shouldn’t be too hard to find that in my closet!) There are 3 main types and it all depends on how your curves are -

Jeans too tight in the waist?  Try:
Slight Curve
- Defines your waist
- Enhances your curves

The waist fits but doen’t flatter?  Try:
Demi Curve
- Flatters your waist
- Smooths your shape

The waist tends to gap in the back?  Try:
Bold Curve
- Hugs your waist
- No gaping or pulling

See you there!
