I am pretty shocked, but these mid-rise legging jeans from Target are pretty awesome for $28. I've been trying on jeans for months, including the Gap legging jeans and they've all made my love handles horrible.

But these are not bad at all! http://m.target.com/p/mossimo-women-s-denim-legging/-/A-14606490

Just wanted to pass this on. It's hard to beat $28. I'm a size 12 right now and they aren't awful on me, so if they work for ME, they should work for almost anyone.
