I'm going to get all "What Not to Wear" on you: GET A TAILOR.
A tailor can turn a $50 pair of jeans into the PERFECT jeans for you - by taking in the waistband or whatever else needs to be fixed.
I'm short but NOT petite, so I always have to have pants hemmed. I have a large chest, so I need to get blazers & shirts fixed on occasion too (though I've mostly stopped wearing jackets) A tailor is my best friend. Leaving Salt Lake City 25 years ago - the worst part was leaving the best tailor I've ever had (good, fast, and cheap - no one else has ever been the trifecta!
)
Here is a NYDJ bootcut in a dark rinse at Nordstrom
http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nydj-bil...esultback=1100
(free shipping & free returns, the brand goes on sale often, and as I mentioned earlier - can be found at Nordstrom Rack) The brand is designed for women who don't want the low low cut but don't want to be wearing "mom jeans" either (though those are back in style for a certain group of street style stars - blows my mind
)
