So I finally bought some nice new jeans from Nordstrom. I haven't bought jeans since before I had LO...and she's almost 2!!!

Anyway, all the jeans now are different than I remember from back in the day, but in a good way. Pretty much everything was mid-rise and skinny/straight leg. I think bc everything was mid-rise, I'm not the same size I was before even though I'm pretty much the same size I was pre-pregnancy. My old size is way too big...I think bc the inches were measured way lower on the hips years ago and now the waist is higher so the inches are being measured higher up...does this even make sense...am I the only one this is happening to?

So I kept trying on jeans in smaller sizes than I'm used to buying, but I was afraid they'd shrink and be too tight b/c they are skinny jeans. I brought them home and washed them and tried them on and after an hour or two I keep having to pull up my jeans and feel like they are saggy in the leg area. I swear they felt fitted in the store. The sales girl was trying to help me...but I don't think the jeans I bought are the right size.

Any advice? How do you know you bought the right size jeans in the store? I swear it wasn't this hard years ago.
