I don’t wear jeans in my house.
I wear them when I am out and about running errands, but by the time I reach the threshold of my front door, they are already unbuttoned and halfway down my thighs.
They are just simply not conducive to my very demanding lifestyle.
I need stretchy, elastic waist, fake exercise clothes.
BUT. The other day I was out shopping with my mom, and the jeans I had on were SO TIGHT. I was miserable. I am simply not built for skinny jeans. I was about 4 seconds from being a Glamour Don’t with a black bar across my face. Or those poor fat people you see on the news with their heads cut off when they do stories about morbid obesity.
So, I ducked into Old Navy, looking for something I could breath in, grabbed these jeans, and McRib as my witness, they were AMAZING. Not too tight. Perfect on my tummy. Thighs don’t look like sausages.
So amazing, in fact, I have been wearing them around the house. ON PURPOSE.
Andy keeps asking why I am so dressed up. It’s bananas.
So I recommend to you, Jesus Jeans. Thou art my savior.
I’m looking for a pic of your ass in said jeans… and I see nothing. Poo.
Buy YAY FOR YOU!!
FINE. I will take one.
My version of my very own Jesus Jeans are arriving tomorrow. Old Navy needs to pay you for your recommendations.
AGREED.
Those are my favorite jeans too! I just wish they came in more colors than a medium and dark wash!
Yes. I acutally bought both colors because I loved them THAT MUCH.
I’ll second that. I tried them on recently and loved how comfortable they were. GAP Curvy jeans tend to be my other Jesus Jeans.
if only they came in my size! :(
The aspects about them that make them flattering are a tab waist (hides bulges, and sits nicer on my tummy), wide leg, and Old Navy’s Diva rise (at my navel, no butt crack showing) . They are essentially a trouser cut jean, save for the decor on the front pocket, which honestly, I could do without. I would definitely look into trouser jeans.
They almost certainly do. I think they start at 2 and go all the way up to 30. (Sometimes they call them “the flirt.”) BEST. JEANS. EVER.
I am going to Old Navy on Saturday. I also feel SO uncomfortable in jeans. Havent worn them in years.
I hear ya. No joke, I wore these jeans out of the store, and tossed the stupid skinny jeans I WAS wearing in the trash outside a Christian book store.
Trust me as soon as this baby is out, I am all over those. I, myself, am quite in love with Old Navy right now for making pants with 36 inch inseams. Finally I won’t look like I’m preparing for the floods.
I have even accidently dried these, and I still have good length on them!
I’m ordering…and praying you’re right. I just tried on some prebaby jeans and am a little shocked. And by little I mean holly fing hell. Bat shit crazy how bad they look let alone feel.
YES. That is 50 percent of the battle. I can find a pair of jeans that look ok. As long as I am standing up straight, but the second I bend or move, I look and feel horrible in them.
These are honestly as comfortable as yoga pants. I have never experienced that with jeans before. I hope they work out for you, please let me know!
The cooler weather just hit here and this weekend I tried on all my jeans. I’ve been wearing shorts since April… out of 20 pairs – 2 fit. I’m sooo going to Old Navy! Thanks for the rec!
You are welcome, let me know how it turns out!
Those jeans look like in the picture that they are low rise jeans. I think that’s what it’s called when the waist line of the jeans is made to fall real low on your belly. Those are definitely NOT what someone who is fat should wear. I am saying this because I have fat rolls and I have put on low rise jeans and it does nothing but makes your fat hang over the top of your jeans. It looks disgusting and it seems like the ppl who really shouldn’t be wearing them, don’t know they shouldn’t be wearing them and wear them out in public with snug tshirts so that you can SEE all the fat hanging over the top of the jeans.
Actually, the tab waist is really flattering, and they sit at my belly button. But, to be safe, I would say if you see me in public, avert your eyes, you know, to be safe:)
LMAO… you are to funny! “to be safe” hahahaha
Peggy Brister (aka Peggy Sue),
You know, I see you comment on various blogs and I am just appalled by your negativity. I mean, is it your sole goal in life to be negative and cunty? Because, honestly, that’s all I’m seeing. And, when you are being negative and cunty on the blogs of my friends, I get really ANGRY. How about you just not visit blogs and leave these types of comments and get out for a walk? Maybe then you can wear these, so called, “Jesus Jeans”.
Oh snap! O_o
Peggy Brister, seriously, what’s your damage?
Telling someone to stop being negative and cunty while being negative and cunty… Way to get your point across.
Telling someone to stop being negative and cunty while being negative and cunty is how I roll in this case. Why? Because Peggy deserves a taste of it.
Wow, Peg. -Somebody- needs a nap. The jeans aren’t low rise. They hit at my (fat girl) belly button too. I’m a doctor, perhaps I can help you get the stick out of your ass?
Secret Agent Mama,
My apologies. I misread and thought your reply to Peggy was Peggy bitching at Brittany. I now realize it was you calling out Peggy. I completely agree with you. Peggy is extremely negative and cunty.
Thank you, Stacey!
I don’t think I’ve EVER seen anyone wear low-rise jeans “well” (aside from celebs and models, natch). Fat rolls or not (yeah, I’ve got ’em), low-rise jeans are of the debil.
They aren’t “low rise” really, though. The sit at my belly button, and the thicker tab waist is like Houdini.
I am totally going to get me some jesus jeans today.
Ooooooo. Those babies are so going on my Christmas list!!
There is nothing better then getting a good jeans recommendation. Except finding a really good pair of jeans!
It’s the only reason I shared. I am not a fashiony person, but this? I had to help out the other sisters who feel my jean pain!
I have a pair of those. I love them.
I fully swear by any jeans that have the little “notch” in the back, where it looks like someone cut a V shape out of the waist. I’m not sure why it makes them so magical but it does.
You are so right.
True story, in college, I remember cutting that exact type of nitch in the back of my favorite jeans. It made them PERFECT.
I’m thinking about the jeans and there a “maybe”. But, I wanted to comment and let you know that I LOVE your blog! It’s a really slow work week (okay, 2 weeks) and I have read every single post. Yeah, all 41 pages. It was like a super awesome book, and I was able to read it at work which is epic since they frown upon bringing a kindle to work. (asshats)
I’m pretty sure we’re besties in a parallel world because we share a love for blue moon, chipotle and sushi. I found you through The Stir where you posted your video about that whore mouthed writer at Marie Claire.
Anyway, I have to ask, could you come out with a shirt line of your own where you could change up the sizes? Like I could order a normal XL, err XXL size shirt (advertizing your blog of course) but it could be a size small? That would be AWESOME! I’ve always wanted a small shirt in my closet. Even if it’s a fake. No shame here.
PS- I cried the day my 10 year old daughter came home from school with a MASH paper thingy.
Blue Moon, Chipotle and sushi? We are most definitely sisters.
And YES. I want to design a whole line of clothes, where they run in real world sizes, which would probably put us ALL in a size small or medium.
I bet none of us are REALLY a XXL. It’s a trick. A TRICK.
I love these jeans. I don’t like the flare, I perfer bootcut, but I have thrown out all the other jeans I had and only have the Diva now. LOVE THEM!!!
Yes, the rise is perfect on me, so I am a big Diva fan now. I do like that these fit less of like a bell flare, and more like a wide leg trouser jean.
They make my thighs happy.
I LOVE old navy jeans. But my jeans always go saggy in the butt…every single time! SO stupid. I actually like the skinny jeans from Old Navy. They are the only ones that fit correctly and have lots of stretch to them
Aside from THESE, the only other jeans I wear have zero stretch. Usually, I despise stretch, for the very same saggy butt reasons. These fit me different.
I thought I was the only one that threw jeans off as soon as getting home. That’s why I dislike announced visitors. I am always like “what do you mean? these four-year-old velour pants are so classy.”
Point of the story is. I’m sold. Will be stopping by Old Navy tomorrow.
I was so excited to see you loved them and bought them, because that means, 1. I’m not crazy, and 2. Old Navy is flattering multiple body types, and that makes me happy.
In a very One Love, Heal The World sort of way.
Love a good pair of jeans. I got some GEM jeans from Macey’s (or is it Macie’s, I can’t remember) when I was over there and they are the ONLY pair of jeans I have bought and loved…. and worn every second day, so now are actually quite sad and worn… but God they are good jeans.
Haha thats so funny, I’ve just had the same experience with a pair of jeans and I’ve converted as well!
There are some women that call jeans “lazy, relaxed or casual”. I am not one of these women. Jeans are my fancy pants. I have a large collection of black yoga pants, and I guard them with my LIFE.
Exactly. Jeans are dress up clothes. I have 40 pairs of leggings and yoga pants. I have 4 pairs of usable jeans. And by usable, I mean not counting the ones from HS that I keep because I am totally gonna get back into them one day!
I heart Old Navy jeans.
I wear the Sweetheart and Dreamer jeans from Old Navy – I have no idea if the Diva would hold in my muffin top or just let it hang in the breeze….maybe I’ll give em a try!
was wondering the SAME thing. i pretty much rotate through three or four pairs of the Sweetheart. excited to try, though!
They have a tab waist, and it sits at my belly button and really makes me feel held in and secure.
The Curvy style of jeans from Gap is my favorite cut of jean that actually makes my post-baby belly flat-ish. But if you say these are flattering then into my online shopping cart they will go. And starting Thursday, you can get 30% off with Friends and Family making them a super steal!
I’m like that with my bra. Unhooked and boobs released when I cross my threshold. Aaaahhh.
I love the Diva jeans at Old Navy! What I really like is the sizing on Old Navy clothes is slightly off, where I would wear an 18 everywhere else I wear a 16 at Old Navy :D
I have that issue with the GAP. I always end up going down two sixes in shirt at at the GAP. Maybe they just size thing correctly?
I discovered the Diva jeans a couple of years ago and I interchange them with the Flirt jeans. They are jeans heaven! I own them in every color available (I even have 2 of the exact pair).
I wear jeans CONSTANTLY. Even at home. Because my clothes take a beating, and I know my jeans are likely to stand up to it. But I hate SHOPPING for jeans. Seriously, so many different cuts that fit different ways, and god knows manufacturers can’t just all size them the same way. You know, like they do with men’s jeans? Noooo, everyone uses a different system. It’s a PITA.
Er, anyway, thanks for the recommendation, and I totally plan on checking those out!
Cool! I hope you try them and like them, or find something you love, because yes. Jeans day shopping for me almost always ends in tears.
I can’t get these Jesus Jeans out of my mind (or my shopping cart). Two questions:
1) How’s the length? I’m 5’8″ so right between regular and tall.
2) Sizing: Did you have to size up or down, or are they true to size? I’m a bit on the, uh, CURVY side of the mountain… I don’t really care what the number is, though, as long as they make my ass look fab instead of flab.
So, as it stands, I currently have 8 pairs in my cart. I believe that might be a little much.
I am 5’7and never dry my jeans because I despise losing length. However, I have dried these 4 times, and still have length.
Sizing, I went with my real size. Even if they are fitting just right and snug, there is stretch in them, and that is a monster I battle wisely. So I never size up in a stretch jean. For me, it was true to size.
Ha! I just bought my first pair of Diva jeans from them on Friday. I was desperate. They are so comfortable.
You found a comfy, stylish pair of jeans for big girls?! No freaking way. Did hell just freeze over?
It did indeed.
I will be looking into the Diva Super Flare. I really, really need some new jeans. And you would know I just placed an Old Navy order yesterday. Darn the luck.
that ALWAYS happens to me, but it’s the friends and family discount time, so YAY! Get them for cheap!
Ooh I love the Old Navy Diva jeans. They are the best for us curvy girls! I also love that they have ankle length sizes too!
YES! And I got the regular fit in these, and I normally sometimes get long, because I hate losing length with washing, but the regulars are perfect.
l love the Old Navy jeans.
Gap’s are more expensive but I have a pair of the Curvy that I got on sale AND with a coupon (cheaper than ON) they’re so soft and YAY button TAB Yay no crack and YAY for fitting!
<3 you
YES. It’s the tab that prevents the crack:)
These are my favorite jeans… Several folded nicely at the top of hundreds of jeans.
how does your butt look in them? I love the way old navy jeans feel BUT I don’t like how my butt looks in them…for some reason they give me mom butt…you know all flat :)
Okay, so immediately after reading this post I ordered two pairs of these – one in each color. I was so excited when they came today, but, sadly they just don’t look flattering…and the most depressing thing is that I think I need to order a size up (really trying not to cry over that fact). Thing is though, even though they didn’t look so great on in the size I ordered, they were still comfortable to wear, so I could see them potentially being very awesome. Even though I hate doing it, I am thinking about reordering in the next size. Finding a good pair of jeans is nearly impossible for me, and I need a pair that is gonna make me look good when I welcome my husband home from this 7 month deployment. Still wishing I had a smaller ass, but at this point I just want to look and feel confident, regardless of my size!
I read your blog all the time. I check it on a regular basis. Then I think of my blog and how your life seems so much more exiitcng than mine. Keep writing! I will comment more. Usually I just laugh or cry right along with you!Love, Bonnie
