#RealTalk . For years I avoided shopping at Torrid because I believed their clothed didn’t fit me. That means for literally almost 10 years, I haven’t given the brand a chance. I have, on occasion, strolled into the store, wandered around a bit, only to decide nothing would fit me right and leave empty handed.

Fast forward to present day, where Torrid asks me to try their new Girlfriend jeans. With some major hesitation I say yes. Half of me is hoping this will help to conquer a bizarre clothing fear, and half me dreaming the pair I selected will actually fit and look good.

All girls know that the only thing that is more painful than a messy break up is….. jeans shopping. Jean shopping, it’s like organized grief.  I did not have high hopes.

If these didn’t fit I would awkwardly have to write an ” I’m sorry my ass is too wide for you denim” email, I remembered thinking  as I finally got up the gumption to try the indigo trousers on. [paused for shock and awe] They fit like a glove.Torrid Plus Size Girlfriend Jeans

The best part about expecting something not to fit and having it fit perfectly is the rush of relief you feel come over you. I would write no large rump apology emails. I would not have to McGyver these pants into working. Nope, these Magic Pants were meant to hug this bootylicious ass and thighs. My fears were stupid.Torrid Plus Size Girlfriend Jeans

What have we learned today? Do not let your high school self make decisions about what your adult self can enjoy. For 10 years I was limiting my options because one time I had a bad experience. Don’t be like me. I was be ridiculous. Props to Torrid who has obviously spent a lot of time refitting their jeans for the plus size body. I am in love with these jeans and since trying them on they’ve become my go to pair.
