My daughter is 15. She is 1 inch taller than me. We weigh the same. She loves L.E.I.'s jeans and wears like an 11. I thought because we weighed the same I could wear the same size..........................WRONG! She wanted me to get a pair. After trying to find a pair that might fit me. I told her "no way, I will stick with Levi's. At least they don't insult me."

A few weeks ago, I was at Target and found this adorable pair of jeans on the reduced rack. I'm usually a 10/12, and these were a 15. I bought them anyway, figuring "heck, for $6, if they don't fit, I'll give them to one of my friends." They fit. It was bittersweet.

Kristine - cut the tag out. Seriously, it's better for the ego. I've done it a bunch of times in situations just like that.
