I am completely bumming. I had ordered two pairs of jeans from 7forallmankind.com because I had received an offer with a 40% off coupon code. This was something I could not pass up since the jeans normally run well above the $100 mark.Once I received them I ripped open the box like a child on Christmas (like I normally do when I receive something that I have ordered) and instantly tried both pairs on. The first pair was about 4 inches TOO long; possibly I could get them hemmed? That definite feeling of disappointment started to rise inside me but I still had one more pair to go. The second pair was of a color that I normally wouldn’t purchase for myself and because I am somewhat fashion challenged had asked some friends their opinion and they agreed they were “cool”. This pair fit much better but I didn’t have that love at first site feeling when I looked at my reflection staring back at me in the mirror.
I proceeded by putting the two pairs of jeans back in their box and hid them away in my closet. I suppose I had to sit on it for awhile, it was like I was almost forcing myself to fall in love with the jeans because I had gotten such a good deal on them. A week went by and I fished the box back out of my closet and retried the two pairs of jeans on. In the end I just couldn’t justify spending that much money on something that I did not completely love. The jeans are now en-route to California in hopes to find another owner who will love them better than I.
Did I do the right thing? I know my VISA card will appreciate it but in hindsight I really wanted a new pair of jeans!
Has anyone else ever tried to force yourself to LOVE a purchase when you knew deep down you didn’t?

If something is not perfect it automatically goes back. I find jeans are way too long these days and one has to wear boots and shoes with 3" heels. Tiffany - try Lee Rider Jeans - as they have good styles, good fit and sizes for all. There are a million jean companies - Victoria Secrets used to make good fitting jeans - you were right to not keep anything you are unhappy with.
As for my Sevens order - I sent one pair back for the same reason, I liked them but didn't love them. I did keep the other pair and I do love those.
Thanks for the input ladies, I find I do better when I go to the store and try things on!! Less disappointment after all the anticipation of waiting for the box to arrive!
