I have enough heartbreak in my life. All girls know that the only thing that is more painful than a messy break up is&#8230;.. jeans shopping. Jean shopping, it&#8217;s like organized grief.\u00a0 I did not have high hopes. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1991\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5897-987x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Torrid Plus Size Girlfriend Jeans\" width=\"987\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5897-987x1024.jpg 987w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5897-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5897-768x797.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If these didn&#8217;t fit I would awkwardly have to write an &#8221; I&#8217;m sorry my ass is too wide for you denim&#8221; email, I remembered thinking\u00a0 as I finally got up the gumption to try the indigo trousers on.

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&#8217;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&#8217;ve become my go to pair.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1994\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5865-787x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Torrid Plus Size Girlfriend Jeans\" width=\"787\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5865-787x1024.jpg 787w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5865-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_5865-768x999.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Outfit Details.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Distressed Jean: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.torrid.com\/product\/torrid-girlfriend-jeans---light-wash-with-ripped-destruction\/10486884.html#start=7\" target=\"_blank\">Torrid Girlfriend Jeans<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pink Cami: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.torrid.com\/product\/double-layered-chiffon-cami\/10485542.html#start=16\" target=\"_blank\">Torrid<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Belt: Torrid<\/li>\n<li>Earrings: Amazon Fashion<\/li>\n<li>Shoes: Cole Haan (Old)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#RealTalk .
