I have a long torso but mid rise sits perfectly on me. I like that they cover the biggest part of my stomach but I can breathe properly when I sit down because my entire stomach isn't being suffocated.
I'm a long torso, short legged hourglass and even some "high rise" are mid rise on me 🤣 I don't begrudge others their low - mid rises, just hope they don't stop making high rise and I have to go naked 🤣
OMG THANK YOU!!!! Being a plus size girl, I struggle with this at Torrid ALOT!!! I normally wear a 18 but I have gotten pants from a 0 all the way to a 22/24 depending on the cut and material of the pant. Sometimes I get so frustrated trying on their pants because if the different fluxes in sizes, it makes me feel like it can take forever to find ONE pair of pants. Which is also why I won't order their pants online. Shopping their tops on the other hard, I usually find that they are very similar sizing all around, which is a relief after dealing with all the pants 😂. Sorry that you had to deal with the confusion and sweat lol but thank you for making me feel like I am not crazy when I go in there and try to find some pants!!! Love your channels!!! Keep up the positivity and and smiles!!! Cheers! Meagan💖
i absolutely HATE the size inconsistency my closet has anywhere from a size 6- 12 like can stores just make one universal size range and follow it so it’s not so freaking confusing! love your videos!
That’s probably why she hates mid ride so much because she’s so tall, I’m super short and mid rise stuff is always fine for me but sometimes high rise touches my bra
Who knew? I'm like Carrie in that some high-rise barely reaches the belly button. I stopped wearing jeans/pants when mid-rise was all there was. Leggings and bike shorts only.
What you experienced here, is why I dread something I used to love to do. Now I hate shopping for clothes. I'm too small for Lane Bryant, and probably too big for the regular brands. I have done gap, and had my self esteem take a huge hit. But at least you hit the nail on the head. The tag is not the size of my heart, head, or personality which really matters most.
I used to go into dressing rooms and cry every time I tried on pants until I found my favorite store. It really is worth the struggle to find the store that fits your body the best. Good luck, continue to try! It’s so great to love a pair of pants and buy them in every cut/color! Another tip that I have is to go to a thrift store to try out a bunch of different brands at one store to see if you can find a brand you like and then go to that actual store to buy a pair in a cut/color you like.
I gained 40lbs and I'm not fitting either. I'm not shaped like plus but don't fit reg sizes either. There isn't a smooth transition. I looked at extended size charts and gaining weight should reduce my spine 2"-4", reduce my bust another 2" and increase my hips by 2"-4". My arms and legs are supposed to shrink 2"-4" as well. I think what it comes down to is that reg sizes have 12 sizes to cover 150lbs and plus sizes have 4 sizes to cover 250lbs.
I’m 5’8 and I love mid rise! I’m a size 0, so maybe that’s why I like them idk. I don’t think it has to do with height. Sometimes I feel too skinny in high waisted jeans.
It's just odd tho how their jeans are sized and designed considering the rest of the items in the store are mostly designed for very tall women lol but the jeans absolutely do not work for me. And the dresses dont either if they have a waist band. It sits too high...yet the dress is so long and length ends up fitting perfect. I pretty much only buy shoes and some blouses from them now lol 🤷♀️
I have found with ALL jeans (doesn't matter where) it's the cut/style that matters what size you are! There are so many different ones in each store...it's an endless search for the perfect pair of jeans! You're great BTW! ;)
i wish we had someone like you when we were teenagers. When I was in high school and I grew out of the juniors sizes I cried my eyes out so many times.
You have helped me SO MUCH with being able to try on clothes and not get down on myself when they don't fit. I always used to think my body was the problem, but the way you approach clothes with solely looking at the way they fit regardless of having to size up or down has really helped my anxiety and struggles with clothes in every way. Thank you for doing these videos!
Man I hated all those jeans, they didn't look that good quality either? Like looked barely like jeans and mostly spandex. Wild that they charge so much
I refuse to buy torrid jeans. Overpriced and low quality. Every time I got a pair they would be completely torn apart in the inner thigh after a few months.
Mary Winchester really? Cause I’ve had some for over 2 years that are just now staring to wear down in the thighs. All of mine have been excellent quality.
They are! I’ve always had luck with the jeans I get. She’s tall so she probably needs to get tall in all the sizes. The three buttons are supposed to go above your waist so she should have maybe gotten a 12t. You just have to find the right combo for your body.
Don’t be disappointed the associates will be able to find a good fit for you, try it for yourself... it’s expensive but it’s good quality. She tried random size and styles that she didnt like, I think you should try them shop with an associate they love doing that
Don’t be disappointed the associates will be able to find a good fit for you, try it for yourself... it’s expensive but it’s good quality. She tried random size and styles that she didnt like, 90% of the jeans she showed have something called four way stretch that’s why too big or too small still fit for her.I think you should try them shop with an associate they love doing that. #Notsponsored
Yes, I like you, as a person. Also your videos, your smile, your confidence, your top and the message you convey. You've helped me grow soooo much over the last couple of months. Thank you so much.
Your facial expressions were priceless while pulling up your jeans!!! You should have turned on the fan in their fancy dressing rooms :) I struggle with sizing there too! Great video, Carrie!
Just wanted to let you know that I’m not midsized BUT I find your videos beyond inspiring for body confidence. Sizes are just numbers on the tags and we shouldn’t focus on the number, just what fits fits 😍 keep up with the good, inspiring work girl ❤️
Girl, I have lived in that inbetween plus and regular size my entire life. It brought me down for a really long time. You're not alone!! Love you're videos! They've changed my life!
Really appreciate the fact that you go through all these stores and try on the clothes to save us the unpleasant moment, even though I know we all have different shapes and what doesn´t fit you might fit others!
Honestly thank you so much for your videos. I’m a midsize girl too and I’ve been really struggling with loving myself and just hearing you say that size doesn’t mean anything makes me feel so much better about my body. Thank you so much!!!
I'm so glad you mentioned the tightness around your calves and ankles! I have some torrid jeans I love, but trying to find pairs that fit my lower legs as well as my waist and thighs always takes multiple trips to and from the dressing room. And it's not an issue when I shop most other stores.🤷♀️
I love you Carrie! If making these videos gives you anxiety please don’t ever feel pressured to do something you’re uncomfortable with! That being said I do love these videos - thanks for showing the real side of things ❤️❤️ I appreciate you!
The Bermuda shorts look so good on you!! LOVE these videos. Haven't been feeling super body positive lately so this made me feel much better, I appreciate your positivity and how confident you are!
I'm so happy to actually have found a youtuber that is around the same height as me and has kind of the same body type as me. I literally relate to 99% of the struggles she does through
Alyssa Chojnicki honestly that’s me. Torrid has been great for me for tops- especially bathing suit tops, but always size up in bathing suit tops. They’re SUPER supportive for us girls with big boobs! Also, the tops are pretty size-consistent. Bottoms are a bit harder. I’ve always been “in-between,” and I’m usually around a 0-1 at torrid and a 2 in swim tops. Hope this helps!
I am a midsize girl as well! I recently went to Torrid for the first time (it was the first plus-sized store I've been to) and I was really pleased with the way the clothes fit me. It was nice going into a place that is made for curves and different body types. I have noticed that I'm not one consistent size in Torrid, however I don't really mind because I like to try my clothes on anyway before I buy them. I also wanted to say thank you to Carrie for making these types of videos - they are really helping me on my body confidence journey. xoxo
im so glad to know i am not the only one with such an awkward body size when it comes to shopping! i am so inconsistent and similar to your body type, this is so empowering!
I will say I prefer mid rise bc it hits my hips well and has a lot of support right where my little pooch is, which is kind of lower. The higher rise kinda cut me in half and makes the biggest part of my tummy look bulkier, which isn’t great when I want to wear a shorter or cropped top or a longer top which is more fitted. Just different bods, like you’re always saying!
Idk if its just a song from imovie, but i love the little jingle you always play in your vids when youre struggling to pull the jeans up 😂 its just the cutest little song
Thank you for doing this again Carrie! I am 7 months postpartum and clothes sizes are fitting me between a uk 14-18 at the moment and it’s such a mind game. But like you say the number doesn’t matter, being comfortable is what matters!
This is why I love your channel! Me and you have very similar body types and sizes, it’s so nice to have a similar body type to relate to through these videos, all my friends are so skinny and it’s nice to see someone who’s my body type💖 Love you Carrie!
I was literally about to say that this is how I feel when I go to Primark, before Carrie said it! I'm not really bothered about size too much, but it would be really nice to have consistent sizing, at least within the same store if nothing else.
I’m a size 12 (leaning more towards a 14 now) But my favorite jeans are the high rise jeans from universal thread at target! They go over my belly button and are perfect 👌
Can you do a video trying on sizes at a Maurices? If you have one where you live. I love Maurices and want to see how different sizes are, if they are. Thank you! And I love your personality!
You are the reason I wear men's jeans! They have naturally wider legs so I can get a much smaller waist size in men's jeans to compensate for my smaller than my hips waist rather than doing the 8/10/12 with a belt because I have such a large gap in the back (from sizing up to fit larger thighs.) I like what you tried on but I would NEVER pay what Torrid wants full retail when I can thrift for so little (and I'm even finding Torrid items now that we have one in our area!) Heather xo
I also fit into a 10, 12, and 14 at torrid! I think it’s all of the spandex in them- you should look for the buy one get two free deal they have every so often! :)
11:37 is me asf when i shop at a places that dont carry plus sizes and im trying my best to try different size 10s to stretch to my 12-14 bod !!!! i FEEEL this !!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRUGGLE FOR US gals that are in the same boat
Just found your channel. I’m digging it. I struggle with the same thing when I’m clothes shopping. I hate it actually. You’re a funny lady. You made me laugh and totally relatable. Thank you.
Ok first of all I absolutely adore you as a person do you even have to ask? ❤️ The main reason I won’t shop at Torrid is the pricing. Especially with a similar body type to you (just about 5 inches shorter), I just don’t think it’s worth it. Seriously, these videos helped my dressing room experience TREMENDOUSLY. I have a completely changed attitude and if something doesn’t fit, now I’m just like “lol ok doesn’t fit” and move on instead of it ruining my life. So really THANK YOU, YOU ANGEL HUMAN. 🥰
I wanted to give my thanks for you making these types of videos. It has helped ease my own anxiety when shopping for clothes. Thank you for giving me some peace of mind and returning some of that joy I used to get when shopping. Sending all the love!
Omg I FEEL you with the “midsize moment” my body type is SO much like yours and I have the same issues with standard sizing being too small sometimes but plus size being too big 😫
I appreciate you getting through your anxiety and doing this video. I always love these ones cause it makes me feel better about shopping and my body. Thank you :)
The fabric definitely is a big factor as well!! Usually jeggings have a lot more give and pull unlike 100% cotton ones that are stiffer and you have to size up
Love, love, love your videos! Your sense of humor is awesome! So true about sizing! It makes me so frustrated too! 🥴 I’m so happy I found your channel! 😁😁
A) I like you VERY much as a person. B) I’ve tried Torrid with similar results. C) Old Navy curvy jeans, 1822 jeggings, and D Jeans are the only brands I’ve found that fit my bubble butt, hips that don’t lie, and biker thighs. D) High rise jeans for life!!! 🙌🏼
Love you as a person! You're so freaking hilarious. The shorts were my fave thing you tried. I foolishly started to Google Torrid stores near me.....then I remembered that one needs $$$ to participate in life and so I hit cancel on that thought real quick.
yes! depending on the style of jean there, it seems to have different dimensions per style, i suspect they do this to give an option for most, if not all body types. I have the same issues with not having a big enough butt and waist to stop the gapping in back, but my calves are usually tight when i get the skinnies.
I’m going shopping later today, which I have been dreading because I’ve definitely put on some weight this summer😬 Your pep talk in the beginning was much needed, THANK YOU!!💗💗
this made me feel so much better! i went through the same experience a couple of weeks ago at Torrid. Not being big enough there but being too big else where. Thank you!
I doubt you’ll ever see this but I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore you and absolutely love your videos (story times are the actual best). I’ve only been watching your videos for a couple of months now but I literally binge watch all your videos because they are all so funny and great! Your big sis ones are amazing too & so so helpful. You inspire me just to love myself no matter what size I am. So I just wanted to say thank you & that I love all your videos. Keep making awesome videos girl!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
This video just frustrates for everyone because as if shopping for clothes isn’t hard enough and then everything is so inconsistent and when shopping it’s hard to remember it’s the clothes fault Thank you for doing this, you’re the fucking best and I love you
Ummm your just the best!! Love you and your channel. Yes thank you for this video. The number on your clothes doesn't matter because in every store or even on one store you could a random of sizes.
Great video. Mid-rise just works better on me. I have an extreme hourglass shape with my waist cutting in extremely sharply. Most high rises don’t accommodate the abrupt big difference in width (a few lines with styles cut for extreme curves do). Mid-rise styles sit lower so they don’t have to work on the smallest part of my waist.
I love that you did this video!!! Funny thing about torrid bottoms sizing though, they're inconsistent af! I used to range anywhere between an 18 to a 22 depending on whether I had shorts, boyfriends, or jeans. Now it's a solid 18-20, but still. Crazy.
Lemme defend mis rise pants for a sec: I'm only 5'3" (on a good day), so sometimes high or super high rise pants go up past my chest lol. Sometimes mid rise are the only ones that fit my short torso right
Oh Carrie. You're amazing to put yourself through all that just for us... To help those of us who feel the same way in changing rooms & in just in general where jeans are concerned. I'll be honest, at 38 I have avoided changing rooms for over a decade. The invent of online shopping saved my mental health for a while there. But watching your videos gave me the confidence to just take a pair of jeans I liked in different sizes into an actual physical changing room. Ignoring the number of the pair that actually fit better, just finding a pair that made me feel confident. And I cannot believe it. But I did. I'm a UK 16 & haven't worn "jeans" in as long as jeggings have been a thing. I mean I think the original The Hills was still on with LC & we hadn't had a sex & the city movie!!! If you come back to the UK again PLEASE do a meet up xoxo
Proof that size is just a random number
This 👏💯💖🔥
Or letter 😜😄
Some clothes look nicer loose

Daniela Ruiz gotta love ❤️ that sweet girl ❤️
Girl, torrid has fans in their dressing room! Up in the corner, and there’s a control switch on the wall. Best thing about shopping there.
YES! I was trying on swimsuits and... that is hard work
Why are dressing rooms always 20°f hotter than the rest of the store? I hate it.
Kathryn Benson legit
You should do another aerie haul!
Yesss they just released a whole new collection
Rip her credit card ☠️😂
I think the Mid Rise crowd (which includes me) are nice for the short toro folks. So on our body types the mid-rise sits perfect....most of the time.
I have a long torso and I'd have to agree.
I have a long torso but mid rise sits perfectly on me. I like that they cover the biggest part of my stomach but I can breathe properly when I sit down because my entire stomach isn't being suffocated.
I have a long torso and mid rise are my fav!!
April Cunningham agreed girl! Short torso. Small waist and wider hips and butt. Mid rise is my high rise. All depends on how your bod is shaped!
I'm a long torso, short legged hourglass and even some "high rise" are mid rise on me 🤣 I don't begrudge others their low - mid rises, just hope they don't stop making high rise and I have to go naked 🤣
Instead of mid-life crisis, it is a mid-size crisis lol 😂
And a mid-rise crisis. 🤣

No shade to you but torrid has absolutely outdated Jean styles..they all looked like they’re from 2010
anniebic ‘perfect’ for plus size people because that’s definitely what they all like
@@kassandraranni2838 what do u mean by that?!
No they don’t, their Jeggings are amazing
Kadynce and Kassie girl stfu
I agree, some stuff is sooo cute and some stuff looks a little like old people sometimes..
I'm short waisted so mid rise jeans fit better. High rise jeans squish my stomach and feel like they are rubbing on my ribs!
Denise Carlino same! The mid rise jeans I’m wearing right now come above my belly button.
That’s probably why she hates mid ride so much because she’s so tall, I’m super short and mid rise stuff is always fine for me but sometimes high rise touches my bra
Who knew? I'm like Carrie in that some high-rise barely reaches the belly button. I stopped wearing jeans/pants when mid-rise was all there was. Leggings and bike shorts only.

As a 5'1" person, I love mid rise. It hits at or just below my belly button 😁 short person life hacks
arctic leo so glad to know I’m not the only one who does this
5'2 here, thought they are supposed to fit that way haha
I'm 5'3 but have a longer torso, so midrise hits me right at the muffin top. I wish it fit me like that considering most jeans I see are midrise.

Every day is better with a Carrie vid. :) I am so thankful I found your channel.
Oh no midrise 🤦🏼♀️ it’s the enemy !
Girl.. I hope you utilized the best part of Torrid dressing rooms.... The fan!! 😂
They have fans in the rooms?
My favorite part of shopping there
Kelsey Cook Yas!!!!
@@munequitafp yes! They know us big girl break a sweat easily 😂 Honestly every dressing room need then though..
I think all stores should have fans in the dressing room. I love the ones in torrid!

Thank you for being so raw and vulnerable in front of us and showing what it’s really like 💕
Man I hated all those jeans, they didn't look that good quality either? Like looked barely like jeans and mostly spandex. Wild that they charge so much
Piggiemushroom there’s one pair of torrid jeans I have and they’re my favorite jeans 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Emmy Kay torrid jeans are my favorite! I get a 28t and it’s always a perfect fit. I’ve had some of them for over 2 years and they still look good!
That's exactly what I was thinking!!! They looked so cheap and tacky!!!
I refuse to buy torrid jeans. Overpriced and low quality. Every time I got a pair they would be completely torn apart in the inner thigh after a few months.

You should try out Eddie Bauer curvy fit jeans or lee wrangler curvy jeans! They changed my life, especially lee wrangler ♥️
OMG do I miss the days jeans were just cotton. You look beautiful! Jeans with all that stretch just make me look like a rolly polly. LOL!

Thank you! And I love your personality!
You are the reason I wear men's jeans! They have naturally wider legs so I can get a much smaller waist size in men's jeans to compensate for my smaller than my hips waist rather than doing the 8/10/12 with a belt because I have such a large gap in the back (from sizing up to fit larger thighs.) I like what you tried on but I would NEVER pay what Torrid wants full retail when I can thrift for so little (and I'm even finding Torrid items now that we have one in our area!) Heather xo
Carrie. You are inspiring other people and I'm sorry if this sounds weird but I'm so proud of you!
I also fit into a 10, 12, and 14 at torrid! I think it’s all of the spandex in them- you should look for the buy one get two free deal they have every so often! :)
Watching this gave me anxiety! This is how I feel every time I shop! I’m so thankful you are bringing awareness to the midsize struggle! ❤️
11:37 is me asf when i shop at a places that dont carry plus sizes and im trying my best to try different size 10s to stretch to my 12-14 bod !!!! i FEEEL this !!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRUGGLE FOR US gals that are in the same boat
I really love and admire you for being vulnerable to help everyone be more loving towards themself
Girl, I needed this today. I was trying on some work pants that are just too small now and I was STRUGGLING! Thank God for Carrie Dayton
Just found your channel. I’m digging it. I struggle with the same thing when I’m clothes shopping. I hate it actually. You’re a funny lady. You made me laugh and totally relatable. Thank you.
i’m a size 8-10 and always struggle with bottoms! but your videos make me step out of my comfort zone. love u carrie 💗
Ok first of all I absolutely adore you as a person do you even have to ask? ❤️
The main reason I won’t shop at Torrid is the pricing. Especially with a similar body type to you (just about 5 inches shorter), I just don’t think it’s worth it.
Seriously, these videos helped my dressing room experience TREMENDOUSLY. I have a completely changed attitude and if something doesn’t fit, now I’m just like “lol ok doesn’t fit” and move on instead of it ruining my life. So really THANK YOU, YOU ANGEL HUMAN. 🥰
I wanted to give my thanks for you making these types of videos. It has helped ease my own anxiety when shopping for clothes. Thank you for giving me some peace of mind and returning some of that joy I used to get when shopping. Sending all the love!
Omg I FEEL you with the “midsize moment” my body type is SO much like yours and I have the same issues with standard sizing being too small sometimes but plus size being too big 😫
I absolutely love your confidence and all of your comments throughout the video!!! I genuinely look forward to your videos! You go, beautiful!!!! ❤️
"If people stare at me, then oh well; I look cute today." I love this.
I appreciate you getting through your anxiety and doing this video. I always love these ones cause it makes me feel better about shopping and my body. Thank you :)
Ive never been a fan of torrid jeans!!! Something about them just doesn’t work for me, always have to pull at them. YES, love you as a person 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love your videos. I turn them on at the gym and get so caught up that time on the stairs just flies by! You’re the best.
The fabric definitely is a big factor as well!! Usually jeggings have a lot more give and pull unlike 100% cotton ones that are stiffer and you have to size up
Love, love, love your videos! Your sense of humor is awesome! So true about sizing! It makes me so frustrated too! 🥴 I’m so happy I found your channel! 😁😁
A) I like you VERY much as a person.
B) I’ve tried Torrid with similar results.
C) Old Navy curvy jeans, 1822 jeggings, and D Jeans are the only brands I’ve found that fit my bubble butt, hips that don’t lie, and biker thighs.
D) High rise jeans for life!!! 🙌🏼
"Mid-rise girls ... who hurt you"
😂😂😂😂😂 Same
I work at torrid and today I had...an amazing day at work? I saw the notif before I left for your vid and I think you blessed me
Maggie Bakken I work there too!
Love you as a person! You're so freaking hilarious. The shorts were my fave thing you tried. I foolishly started to Google Torrid stores near me.....then I remembered that one needs $$$ to participate in life and so I hit cancel on that thought real quick.
I love this series! It's just so relatable and a good reminder that size is just a number and it doesn't define you ❤
yes! depending on the style of jean there, it seems to have different dimensions per style, i suspect they do this to give an option for most, if not all body types. I have the same issues with not having a big enough butt and waist to stop the gapping in back, but my calves are usually tight when i get the skinnies.
I love you! So helpful for a size 12/14 girl. I’m also tall so I’m slim for my size but have a wider frame. You’re awesome!
your hand slipping off trying to button the boyfriend jeans was relatable on a whole other level 😂😂
Mid rise is basically high rise on me because I'm so short. So it's kind of the perfect cut for me!
I love you as a person ♥ "SIZE DOESNT MEAN SH*T!!!" - is my new mantra!!
I’m going shopping later today, which I have been dreading because I’ve definitely put on some weight this summer😬 Your pep talk in the beginning was much needed, THANK YOU!!💗💗
this made me feel so much better! i went through the same experience a couple of weeks ago at Torrid. Not being big enough there but being too big else where. Thank you!
I doubt you’ll ever see this but I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore you and absolutely love your videos (story times are the actual best). I’ve only been watching your videos for a couple of months now but I literally binge watch all your videos because they are all so funny and great! Your big sis ones are amazing too & so so helpful. You inspire me just to love myself no matter what size I am. So I just wanted to say thank you & that I love all your videos. Keep making awesome videos girl!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
This video just frustrates for everyone because as if shopping for clothes isn’t hard enough and then everything is so inconsistent and when shopping it’s hard to remember it’s the clothes fault
Thank you for doing this, you’re the fucking best and I love you
Love love you! You say it as it is and I agree with you sizes vary and makes it so frustrating! 😫🤪😛
"like..oh well I look cute today" iconic af
Love these videos. You’re amazing! I’m typically a size 10 in standard stores, but I’m 5’8 and I have hips. It isn’t easy to find pants that fit!
Ummm your just the best!! Love you and your channel. Yes thank you for this video. The number on your clothes doesn't matter because in every store or even on one store you could a random of sizes.
Mid size moment! I love that! I have been dealing with that for years
Great video. Mid-rise just works better on me. I have an extreme hourglass shape with my waist cutting in extremely sharply. Most high rises don’t accommodate the abrupt big difference in width (a few lines with styles cut for extreme curves do). Mid-rise styles sit lower so they don’t have to work on the smallest part of my waist.
I love that you did this video!!! Funny thing about torrid bottoms sizing though, they're inconsistent af! I used to range anywhere between an 18 to a 22 depending on whether I had shorts, boyfriends, or jeans.
Now it's a solid 18-20, but still. Crazy.
Lemme defend mis rise pants for a sec: I'm only 5'3" (on a good day), so sometimes high or super high rise pants go up past my chest lol. Sometimes mid rise are the only ones that fit my short torso right
Yeah mid-rise is my high-rise lol
I’m different sizes in different brands too. Drives me crazy. I think that’s why I like thrifted jeans. They’ve already shrunk and usually fit better.
I'm so glad you made this video. I've been wanting to try their 10-12 sized jeans. Looks like I'll probably have a hard time too :(
Oh Carrie. You're amazing to put yourself through all that just for us... To help those of us who feel the same way in changing rooms & in just in general where jeans are concerned.
I'll be honest, at 38 I have avoided changing rooms for over a decade. The invent of online shopping saved my mental health for a while there. But watching your videos gave me the confidence to just take a pair of jeans I liked in different sizes into an actual physical changing room. Ignoring the number of the pair that actually fit better, just finding a pair that made me feel confident. And I cannot believe it. But I did. I'm a UK 16 & haven't worn "jeans" in as long as jeggings have been a thing. I mean I think the original The Hills was still on with LC & we hadn't had a sex & the city movie!!!
If you come back to the UK again PLEASE do a meet up xoxo
