Maurices Denim Review & Giveaway

giveaway

maurices

A couple of weeks ago the sweet folks at Maurices sent me a pair of jeans to try. And try I did! I have worn them 4 times over the past two weeks, including these two times:

02/26/10 Recently Updated158

These jeans have quickly become one of my top two pairs in my closet (and I have 25+ pairs so that is saying a lot). The jeans I received are the Briana Flare and are a 99% Cotton/1% Spandex blend. I was concerned that stretching out throughout the day may be an issue, but it wasn't. I was actually able to wear the jeans a couple of times before needing to wash and each time they still had the same fit. After I washed them (hanged to dry) and slipped them back on they had retained their shape as well.

Another thing I love about these jeans is their slightly destressed wash and the minimally frayed hems which I adore when paired with colorful heels (as you can see above).

Now, I'm not here to just bragged about my great new jeans! Maurices wants to give all you fabulous ladies the chance to win a pair of jeans also (actually a $40 Gift Card so you can find the fit that works best for you). Just check out some of the great styles below.

Good morning!
My favorite pair of jeans are the Bu 5-pocket destructed jeans with studs (http://bit.ly/Destructed_Jeans). I am completely craving a pair of jeans that are purposely deconstructed. I love them! :)

Kimberly, after reading your blog you've opened my eyes to fabulous new stores that carry adorable plus-sized clothing and one of those stores is Maurices! I befriended them on FB so now I can get all the info on their sales.

Maurices has a great selection of denim but my fav is the Mid Rise w/Bling on the back pocket. The reviewers all said it's a slimming jean and what curvy gal doesn't want a slimming jean!

I've kind of been wanting some ripped up boyfriend jeans, like the Sam Boyfriend jean. But of course I know I won't wear them often enough to justify the expense. Free sounds about right to me!

I need a pair of dark wash jeans that can go a little more formal. I love the Taylor mid-rise in a dark wash. They seems young and trendy but like they can still be dressed up and dressed down.
