R.I.P Sophie

Don’t worry, no person has died.  But my beloved ultra low rise Sophie jean from Delia’s has been discontinued.  Something like this happening is akin to your beloved hairdresser moving out of state.  They might as well move out of the country or die for all you’re concerned.  A replacement will have to be found.  The joy is gone.

I wrote about my love for Sophie jeans during BigMama’s Spring Fashion Fiesta 2008.  I know ya’ll understand the value of a great fitting  jean, so it should come as no surprise that when I found them I bought them in every wash and length possible.

After finding out they were being discontinued, I was crushed.  I knew the day would come when I would need to replace my worn out Sophie jeans but where would I go, who would I run to?  The agony of shopping for the right fitting jean is too much to bear so I would put it off until I couldn’t any longer.

Delia’s must have sensed my pain.  Last week I got an email from them announcing that just for trying on a pair of jeans I would receive a $10 “gift” (which is really a credit to use towards buying anything in the store). 

It was the perfect time to find a replacement for Sophie.

So I kidnapped hubby and my friend Brittaney and took them to Delia’s with me yesterday.  Long story short, I got 2 pair of jeans that were on sale BOGO50% off.  My $10 “gift” was applied to my order and I also earned a $25 off $50 coupon for shopping in September.  Yay me!

So who replaced Sophie?  Bailey and Taylor.  They aren’t as low rise as Sophie, but low enough.  (I’m really short-waisted, so low rise is way better for my figure).

And just an FYI, I don’t wear Converse with my skinnies, I wear heels or boots.  Converse aren’t my style :)

Do you have a favorite jean?  If so, tell me about them and why they’re your favorite.
