Earlier this year, when I was still running Bloggy Giveaways, I told Lee Jeans that I’d work with them as a Lee Fit Ambassador. That meant I’d receive a pair or two of jeans to try out and then I could tell y’all what I thought of them. As you’ve probably noticed, I haven’t written a single bit about Lee jeans. The first pair I received were green and meant for snazzy spring stylin’. I don’t do green pants. I may do black or brown or even white, but I don’t do green. They were quite pretty, actually, but they didn’t fit–either my hiney or my personality.
Then, last month I received another pair of jeans. These are a dark denim wash and long. I have to say, they are comfortable as all get out. They’re just a touch stretchy, but not tight stretchy like some brands. It’s just enough to make the jeans fit. The waist on these jeans is higher than normal, it sits at your real waist. You know, like the jeans of the 1980s and early 90s? Yeah, like that. To me, that’s not a big deal because who would even know where the waist comes up to unless you either tuck your shirt in or have a short shirt on? I do neither of those things. And I like to have the muffin top contained.
The only issue I have is that the jeans L-O-N-G. I’m 5′5″ and even with heels on these jeans are skimming the floor. I may have them hemmed or I may just roll them under (because lazy is klassy no matter how you break it down). So, if you’re of the long-leg variety, you’re in luck! If you’re of the short-leg variety, like me, just check to see if they have a petite version (or, as so many companies call them these days: the ankle version instead of the regular).
Bottom Line: I like these jeans. They’re super comfy, have just enough stretch, and the wash is dark enough that they can be casual or dressy.
Lee National Denim Day
But that’s not all! I want to tell you about an important cause that Lee Jeans takes seriously: Breast Cancer Awareness. They’re working with Christina Applegate (remember, she had her own brush with breast cancer) as they host Lee National Denim Day on October 2. If you’d like to help, please consider donating just $5 to Lee’s National Denim Day campaign. From the site: “The Women’s Cancer Programs of EIF receive 100% of the net proceeds raised for Lee National Denim Day®. Funds are used to support groundbreaking early detection and treatment research and community educational services nationwide in the fight against breast cancer.”

Oh how that makes me chuckle. If I tell you my inseam is 37 will you still love me?
I used to buy men’s jeans in high school to get them long enough.
Michelle–funny! 37 inches? Holy cow. You and my BFF Kathy are tall Amazons. I hate walking with you Amazons–even at what you would consider your slow pace–simply because my little legs have to do twice the striding.
Hey girl, speaking of bloggy giveaways, have you sold it yet? (I’m sorry if you did and posted about it – I’ve been out of the loop for awhile now!)
MEL! HOWDY!
What is it with women’s pants these days? I had to buy some black slacks recently and every pair I tried on was dragging the floor. I know I’m vertically challenged, but pants always used to fit me. Even my new winter PJ’s. I can’t see my feet!
