Well a couple of weeks ago I was watching Good Things Utah and Alicia (Chic on a Shoestring-fashion expert) did a call out for viewers to come on the show to "model" jeans. She said she needed sizes 8,10,12 and 14. Hey I am one of those I thought to myself--unfortunately on the higher end of that scale. So I really don't know what got into me, but I emailed her---
Dear Alicia
My name is Stacey XXXXX. I live in XXXX, I am 35 and a mother of 4 (ages 9 to 2). I saw your call out for Jeans 101 yesterday on Good Things Utah and I would love your help. I am a size 14 and have a horrible time finding jeans that fit. Everyone tells me I buy my jeans too big (probably because by the end of the day I am tugging at them to keep them up) but I also don't want to look like a stuffed sausage either. I feel like at this size I can't be stylish, just frumpy. I would love your help to find something that fits right with style! Hope you can help me!!
Thanks so much
I don't know why she picked me out of all the emails, but she did! It was so fun. I tried on about 6 pairs of jeans--she found the ones she liked the best on me which was 1 to 2 sizes smaller then I buy--so I guess I buy my jeans to big after all. She then picked out a shirt jacket shoes and earrings. I went the next day to tape the show since Alicia would be gone the day the segment was supposed to air. I had a great time. All of the girls she picked to "model" were so nice and of course the girls on the show were nice to. It was so out of my comfort zone, but I am so glad I did it.

That sounds so fun! Good for you! You look amazing. I want more details. Where did you shop? Did she have them altered for you? What tips did she give you on standing for pictures and what to wear on top? SEE... I have lots of questions:)
I have a hard time finding jeans. Today I just got out my sewing machine and took in the waist on a pair. Jeans never fit me in the waist if they fit in the leg and bottom. I always feel like I must have a strange body when I shop for jeans. I think "What's wrong with me?"
you looked great and you were so brave to do that!! I wouldn't even if I got to keep all the clothes!!
so fun!! you look great! did they let you keep the jeans?? you are always up to something fun!
I am so proud of you! That sounds like a lot of fun. What brand of jeans did they pick out for you. We need more info!!
Wow you're practically famous now. How fun!! I've always thought you were beautiful and those pics are no exception. We sure miss you.
Holy Crap! What a fun opportunity!!! And puh-leeze, will you tell me where she sent you to buy jeans. I am still in my chubby post-baby yuck phase, and your letter summed up my feelings about myself EXACTLY.
You look gorgeous in that photo.
