Follow up to earlier Jeans Post
Normally I would never post this again, but I recall there were several people possibly interested in trying my jeans to see if they worked. Mz-n-ss tried them, but they were too short, and I don't recall who had dibs next. To recap, I bought some size 6 Re-rock jeans from Express when I was transitioning back to my regular jeans after having Ingrid. They were only worn a couple of months and look really good. I'm 5'7'' w/ relatively short legs and they worked perfectly for me w/ shoes on, so I would guess if you were shorter than me w/ longer legs or my height w/ similarly shorter legs, they'd work well. Here are the pics again:
Also, dumb me bought ANOTHER pair or Re-rock jeans from Express apparently before I was done losing baby weight (or just changing shape? - Seriously, what happens to your butt after you give birth, mine has disappeared). Anyway, they are size 4 jeans and run a little longer. I probably should have had them hemmed, but I was too lazy. They would probably fit someone with a more normal length inseam pretty well. I wore these jeans even less time. They are supposed to be the deconstructed look, so there are a couple of holes in them, but they are in fantastic shape.
I don't know why the 2nd pair look so much bluer when photographed, in real life the two pairs are very similar in color. I loved both of them and I am sad to see them go, but I figured if I can get a little money out of them I can maybe buy 1/2 of a new pair that will stay put on my butt. 
Both were originally $90, I'm hoping for maybe $20 a pair? We can make a deal if/when they fit someone. Oh, and I personally think both pairs are vanity sized - so if you generally wear an 8, the 6 would probably work, and the 4 if you usually wear a 6.

Re: Follow up to earlier Jeans Post
Those are super cute. I would be interested in both pairs if they don't work for Shea or whoever else. I am short but thankfully have a mother who could shorten them if needed
Would you girls mind giving me your emails so I can contact you through them? We can figure out some way to exchange the jeans that way, seems easier than through the nest. Thanks!
